I wish I had a good friend
>>41538418i wish I was a better friend
>>41538418I wish I had a friend
>>41538418i wish i had any friends...
same, i miss spending my afternoons hanging out with people :-(
>>41538454same, i wonder how im going to tell them that I hallucinated text that wasn't there when we were chatting. fuck. actually im not going to say it
>>41538470If they're a good friend they'd understand
>>41538501same thing happened when in the mlp anni stream. i would rather keep it a secret
>>41538464>>41538459>>41538457i have a tip, literally just share eachother's discord and you could be friends right now, plan stuff to do together.
>>41538609But what if they're evil and hurt me?
>>41538609i doubt anyone else here is nearby but on the offchance anyone reading this is from montreal my discord is 27proxy
>>41538609this may be terra incognita for some people, but I have another tip. in other sites/games/etc where dms are possible, try striking up a topic of conversation with a stranger, based on something that has high valence (e.g. opinion about which is best character/pony/etc) about the game/show/cartoon/etc. then afterwards ask for their discord, then after doing that it garantees contact with that person.>>41538615block them?
>>41538609Incredibly novel idea that's nobody has ever thought of
>>41538707for someone with a tabula rasa mind on this, yeah, it may as well never be thought of without an example showing it.
>>41538641Accept my request so we can discuss friendship opportunities
>>41538707Maybe we should start making regular threads where people can make friends?
>>41538838im from another board, just visiting /lgbt/, but yes do it. i think every board should have some form of organizing people (whether with games or etc) to do stuff together and have events, this ensures possibility of users directly talking with eachother, and instead of greeting goodbye forever, they could organize permanent contact by, for example, sharing discord usernames
>>41538418Hi wanna be friends?
>>41539981Maybe
>>41541086disc is prosopon.
>>41541088I feel bad actually adding anyone because I'm so depressed right now I'm worried I don't have the energy to make conversation
>>41541515okay, no pressure
>>41538609yea I’m too scared to actually talk to people tho
>>41541610this needs an explanation:on people who were isolated for a long time, for social interaction, the amygdala (brain region responsible for threat detector) stays on high alert and interprets every new interaction as potentially dangerous instead of the opposite as it was conditioned to do so with constant isolation. so, people might not realize, but what is actually preventing people from freely just interacting with eachother isn't lack of social skills or not knowing how to plan an interaction, but rather because of apprehension made from the right amydalae.so it's technically outside of sapient/conscious/rational control, as the amygdala is one of the most archaic brain region responsible for instincts.you may think you're doing this choice of not talking to people as if you have free will and that your actions are not dictated by the unconscious restraining you (in this case instincts). you don't want to be dictated by maladjusted instincts or hardware(amygdala), do you? having self awareness isn't enough but a start
>>41542015I’m fully aware of this but still too scared unfortunately
