What are some essential movies about loneliness?
bump
>>214371271>lonely thread gets no repliespottery
True loneliness (male) has never been depicted because normies who makes films could never truly conceptualise it It would also be extremely boring to watch
>>214371271melancholialost in translationthose are the two that come to my mind.
>>214371271>I'm so lonely a bloo bloo Zoomers are hopeless.
Lost In TranslationTaxi Driver
>tfw most movies about "loneliness" still have the character live an exciting life in some way have there been any actually accurate depictions of male loneliness in cinema? where a man just goes to work, comes home to his empty apartment, stays in all weekend, and repeats the process the next week?
>>214371271un homme qui dort
Do you guys actually not have any friends? If so, how long have you not had any friends? Isnt it hard? I went from having a beautiful group of friends to having none because im a problem
>>214371271I love wang kai war but isn't this movie about a gay couple? How is it about loneliness if he found a gay partner?
>>214373143The thing about friendship is the constancy of it. You either maintain it as a ritual or it falls off.If it does not occur naturally to you, then you won't be able to do it, because it will feel like a job.
>>214372006Kubrick could have
>>214373143Everybody is just a boring disrespectful fucking asshole.
>>214373286Homosexuals are promiscuous but not affectionate, most of them being borderline sociopathic. Also in the film he goes to Argentina to heal from the relationship that has left him broken and stunted his capacity to love and he is alone most of the time aside for work in a restaurant
>>214373143I have a girlfriend but no other friends because I hate people
>>214372006It would just be a mostly silent film following an average dude going about his days, completely unnoticed by external stimuli
>>214373383That's not true, I happily hang out with my old friend whenever they get dumped by their gfs even if I have not seen them in years>sorry bro we didn't watch football and drunk le beer for too long the rituals just aren't there we are no longer frensNo wonder you don't have friend you autismo
>>214373583>it's everyone's fault except me!Fatherless behavior.
>>214373626>completely unnoticed by external stimulistimuli is something that is observed that something that does observe, you have made a categorical error you stupid bitch.
>>214373816not something that does observe*
>>214371271I'm not lonely enough. People really annoy me.
>>214373816No I mean the things that stimulate don’t even deign to notice the lonely man you FAGGOT
>>214371271
>>214372006>le true loneliness>le true communismShut the fuck up retard
not a flick but it handles the loneliness
>>214373981>tfw watched this over a decade ago, pulled myself out of the hole, spent 5 years in a long relationship and working, had everything fall apart, continued trodding along in life miserable, and then I watch it again Holy shit
The only time I truly feel lonely is when I'm forced to go to social obligations with normalfags. Extended family etc. When I'm forced to sit their and listen to stories about their normal lives, what their kids are doing, home renovations etc, that is when I feel truly alienated from the common human experience. My life and theirs are galaxies apart.
>>214371271will i like this movie if i'm incel or is it depressing?
>>214374036Probably not. It's not for retards.
>>214374060i knew i should have added my iq is 124... dunno why i chose to omit this factum. i thought it would look silly, i guess. but here we are...
>>214373981This one sucks though
Steam of life
People who experience the feeling of loneliness literally have underdeveloped monkey brains. Unfit for modern society.
>>214371271This short film I watched recently does a great job of creating a sense of dullness and loneliness.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otWl3Zu1Mr4
>>214373143I have one friend. Used to have two, but then the third guy died while on a hike. In college I had about a dozen but the second college ended nobody but those two was interested in maintaining the friendship. About half of that dozen would come out for a drink if you asked them to and we'd have a fun time together but besides those two, nobody else ever initiated the meetings. At one point I gave up, didn't call anyone for a couple of years and only those two ever reached out.Had three work friends too, people I really liked but they quit the company and moved on, I tried maintaining contact and it worked for a couple of years, but again, I was the only one who ever initiated contact and when I stopped, we lost touch.Is it hard? Nah. Most of the time I'd rather be alone anyway, most of the things I like doing don't require other people. Whatever people have that makes them form lasting relationships and desire other people's company, I just don't have it. Those other people who drifted away from my life aren't loners, they just stuck with other friend groups outside of our college/work group. The two friends I mentioned also have other friend groups I'm only casually acquainted with.
>>214373629Nta Maybe in your retarded brain it's true. Come back to me when the person didnt contact you after 20 years. I try talk to my friends every other week.
>>214373143Yeah, about 10 years, yeah it really sucks but it's hard to find your way out of.
>>214373143It's too much effort to maintain friendships. It's easier to just have acquaintances you talk to every now and then or become a barfly and enjoy the company of other barflies.
>>214373981kys
imagine being a chinese faggot
>>214371271I'm what you would call a "lonely" man but I never really feel it that way since I value my time alone. I chose to be alone.Nevertheless, the loneliness would only hit me during the Holidays since I have to visit my parents and see my brothers and sistees with their families.
>>214373981>Attempts to make a VN for easy money and fails>Takes one creative class, and gets too embarrassed to show his work and leaves humiliated>His Otaku friend eventually gets his shit together and leaves>Parents can't support him anymore, so he works construction to maintain a one room apartmentI hate that my life is so stereotypical.
>>214373981>I live in Japan, my parents pay my rent, and I can do whatever I want all day>AHHH I'M GOING INSANE
I'm tired of the wagie charade. They've been laying off people for a year in my office. I have a decent amount saved up. I just want to get my severance, live off my savings for a few years and end it. I've flailed at acquiring meaningful relationships, why bother participating in society any more.I was unemployed leaving off the dole for six months a couple of years ago and it's the happiest I've been since childhood. Just walking around parks enjoying nature and listening to audiobooks, pursuing hobbies and learning a new language. No faggot work to get in the way
>>214373981>has a cute girl obsessed with him from episode 1 lmao and tranime weebs pretend this is somehow realistic and relatable

>>214371271>just talks to himself and AIthe movie works/relates on a lot of levels.
>>214373900Good, but not as good as picrel.
>>214373393I thought 2010 was better than 2001.
Has there ever been a creature as despised as a lonely male?
>>214377067wish there was a sequel to this. really enjoyed moon. any recs for something very similar?
>>214372006What you're describing isn't true loneliness, it's true stupidity.>durr, durr, being lonely is not having any thoughts in your head
>>214373881Oh really? Does the lonely man not spend his life chasing online dopamine hits, playing video games, and jerking off to porn?
>>214375886>and end itYou don't have to end it.>I was unemployed leaving off the dole for six months a couple of years ago and it's the happiest I've been since childhood.Same here, even considering I spent like 7-8h a day learning programming.My plan is get a simple/part time job once I buy a house and work the minimum I can get away with.I have no idea what kind of insane person can put up with working 8h a day for 40 years without going ballistic.
>>214373101Yes, tons of movies start with the MC living an empty dead end life. The difference is something happens that makes him pursue better things, for better or worse.
>>214377067I watched this yesterday, overall it was good but considering it was rather short and I saw the twist coming from a mile away it felt rather forgettable.
>>214377166Well we didn't forget it (we're talking about it).I saw the film as an abstraction of the mind; what goes on internally in the isolation of the self.Like his clones are just different versions of him that his interaly deals with. The AI Gertie acts as his voice of reason. The corporation goons act as death and the mass driver back to a realer reality acts as salvation; he transcends that confined life on the moon he was condemned too. I like stories like that where the main character realizes he's in a rigged game and rigs his way out.
>>214377278>I like stories like that where the main character realizes he's in a rigged game and rigs his way out.
>>214371271Blade Runner. People missed it
>>214373143I used to have tons of friends. As I got older I realized that they're not worth the required maintenance.
>>214377311He doesn't rig his way out though.
This is why it's so important to get married. You have a best friend by your side your whole life, who can you can also hug cuddle and fuck, look after you when you're sick and old, etc. If you're single in your late 30s it's pretty much over.
>>214371271What a boring movie topic.If you're not lonely why would you care?If you're lonely why would you want to see a movie about it?>>214373143Several months, before that had friends for years, before that had no real friends I was in touch with for some years.I reconnected with some friends after my mother died but in the process eventually found out they were all communists/furries/pedophiles/antifas/tumblrcunts now, so I one by one detached from all of them as I found more out about them, and moved to a new state (no reason to live there anymore + full of retards)Since I moved I've had health and money troubles and been pretty tired, change jobs about once a year for some reason or other.I'm not a problem and naturally make friends wherever I go, in fact I guess I was friends with the gas station clerk lady before she retired and I guess I'm friends with the corner store cashier lady now, more or less, you know on a surface level where I never have to hear too much about their terrible lifestyles or so on. And actually my neighbors are my friends too I guess, that's just them being friendly and me reciprocating mostly.But no real friends, no. I was always a positive, happy, honest guy, no plans to ever become a pessimist or a misanthrope, but you all wanted to be evil edgy retarded baby killing seething bolsheviks, or whatever, or pedophiles, sluts, druggies, animal fuckers, fags and trannies, so on, so on, I'm just not dumb enough to desire more interaction with the general public. I can't bear to "network", I hate "social engineering", I'd rather work terrible jobs than lie in interviews, and I can't even motivate myself to emulate an evil person long enough to get a good wfh job with no human interaction so I just stock shelves on night shift part time and suffer listening to my retard coworkers here and there.It's not all that bad though.
>>214373753Maybe but he also happens to be correct it's sewer culture worse and worse since basically the 1920s
>>214373143>Do you guys actually not have any friends?Friends are for midwits and children. I have a wife and a dog.
>>214373101>where a man just goes to workI'm unemployed
>>214375886>end itEnd what? The savings? I don't get it
>>214377690>late 30sLate 20s
>>214374014You followed the same path as the writer
>get married>best friend>whole life>look after you when you're sickthis is larp or tourist from reddit
>>214374389>I have one friend. Used to have two, but then the third guy died while on a hikeWhat third guy? You mean the second guy? What happened to him?
>>214372006I don't think a film about some loser sitting in his mom's basement complaining about how the jews (he's never met one) are ruining his life
>>214377686yeah he does.he ends his cycle.(the film tackles to concepts of reincarnation)
>>214377148>what kind of insane person can put up with working 8h a day for 40 years without going ballistic.yeah this has to be a normbot thing. or i guess a having dependants thing. if i had to maintain a family life, with a wife, kids, mortgage, new car every decade, I might force myself to work all my life. but i don't so i can't. soon as my parents die i'm checking the fuck out
>>214379203i'm the first guy, living friend's the second guy, dead friend's the third guy. made more sense in my head
>>214379210you don't think a film like that what?
>movie about loneliness>main character has friends???
>>214373143At least a decade. Id Rather be on the internet
>>214377142No he works a 9-5, hikes in spring-fall and skis in winter, pines after his ex, loses friends to accidents and drugs, fucks a fat girl while drunk once a year, and posts here daily. Faggot.
>>214374906Does your name start with M?

>>214377690This. There's a reason why everyone settles at some point.
>>214382147Does the cuck in this clip think what he's saying is some kind of own
>>214377690>You have a best friend by your side your whole lifeThats a very optimistic and unreal view of marriage
>>214382717The guy who wrote it is probably some sicko cuck and thinks its a power move lol
>>214372006bladerunner 2049 nigga
>>214377690>You have a best friend by your side your whole life, who can you can also hug cuddle and fuck, look after you when you're sick and old, etc.Are you married? If so, for how long? I've heard way too many of stories of men being broken after their "best friend and lover" leaves whenever it's inconvenient to be with them
>>214374950Every faggot Japanese vlogger
>>214374023The thing is normies will do things just to do things and have something to tell people they did that thing, especially women. Nothing rattles a woman to her core more than the idea that people will think of her as not engaging in activities and sitting at home doing nothing
>>214372006Taxi Driver.
>>214383061It's definitely someone projecting their anger and coping about getting cucked lol
>>214371271Sky KingSomebody step up and make that movie.
A Woman Under the Influence
>>214371271Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind hit a nerve with me on this subject.>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD8g0LB89bU
>>214371271If every attempt you've made at forming human bonds failed, why do you consider the impression generated by a shallow sense of belonging to hold any substantial truth?
>>214371271>movie is about male loneliness>LOL he somehow has a girlfriends and two other close friends!!!!Why do they write shit like this?
>>214379210It's rare to have never met a jew in daily life. It's more common to be sexless than to have never met a jew.
>>214384503Normies literally can't comprehend that someone could have no friends
>>214384503It's the same vibe when I hear or read women discussing loneliness and the hell it it really can be.>I'm a 24 year old woman with a boyfriend, dog and an apartment but I'm so lonelyHow the fuck is someone in a relationship lonely? Must suck to have someone to talk to and make dinner with every night, real tough situation to be in for holes.Meanwhile for guys like me? The only people I talk to are my parents whom I fight with frequently. I don't have a gf or a place of my own, my friends ditched me years ago because being friends with a "loser" is a no no. I wake up early every morning to smoke pot and shower to prevent myself from jumping off the bridge that's 6 minutes from the place I live. The last woman I spoke to via messenger ghosted me. I don't have a cellphone because I think the idea of spending monthly money on something that never rings makes me feel sick. I haven't been to a party or a get together in over 7 years. All the girls I used to chat with in school don't remember who I am. I regularly get unfriended on facebook by women when I like their wedding picture or whatever despite the fact we went to school together and had enough repoire to add eachother (I never ask for friends on facebook only accept). A dude that used to come to my house daily for years to play videogames and hang out/smoke pot bought a house in my neighborhood and never said hi/told me etc, and he knew I was living there. That's loneliness.
>>214372006Un homme qui dort (1974)
>>214373143Dude I had friends in highschool and they just fucked off after a couple of years and left me in the dust. One of them used to treat me like garbage and if I fought back I was being "petty". He was just made one of the best men at the wedding of another guy in the group. He was a bully for years and was still accepted as a brother by them. I was treated like a friend for a year or two before I was regulated to "faggot" tier friendship where they only see you once every 6 months, don't reply to calls or texts but when you show up one day to say hi in person (we all live on the same loooong street) they ask you to help paint their house for them. I told them to go fuck themselves.Fuck you Patrick you little faggot. I hope you get hit by a car.
>>214384835What went wrong for you that you couldn't achieve what all those other people did?
>>214385038>I told them to go fuck themselves.Good. Never be afraid to bail from false friendships. If you don't get respect and reciprocity they're not friends. Simple as.
>>214377391Blade Runner 2049 is more about loneliness
>>214385128>what all those other people did?who are all the other people you refer to?
>>214377078fuck off retard
>>214385259All the former friends and schoolmates that moved on with their lives
>>214373143Male friendships are developmental.When you're a kid, you practice friendly competition, talking to girls, or fighting other boys with your friends. It lets you act out and gain confidence in your natural masculine instincts.As you become an adult, some friends start falling behind. Maybe they don't know any girls who can bring their friends around, they don't have connections that get them into cool parties, etc. Those friends start to lose their purpose because they no longer help you grow into your next phase. And it only accelerates from there. Once you start your life and have a family, that good friend from school who still lives at home isn't gonna open any doors. He can't create new opportunities and you can't learn anything from him since you're way further ahead already. You leave him behind in the memories of your adolescence and move on. You invest your time in making new relationships that can help you grow your status and wealth so that you can provide for your family. You make friends with other family men so that your kids have good friends as well. There's simply no point in seeing old friends who got stuck in their teenage years.
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever really had friends.
>>214371271>
>>214385834Or... You can help people stand up when they fall down. What a worthless person you are.
>>214385847Didn't really have friends in primary, intermediate or college. Never went to uni and am now 33
>>214385875Everyone has tried helping their loser friends get their lives on track. They're met with responses like yours that blame everyone else instead of taking accountability. It's immature and proves you're stuck in your teenage years.
Men can't be lonely. They just have high standards and refuse to settle for their league.
>>214372412Dullard living a mundane existence doesn't understand complex emotions.
>>214374273Backwards, dummies are content with menial work and a mundane existence. Droll days are their status quo.
>>214385904Sometime people don't bother and just let people sink. >>214385945Don't be retarded. Everyone can be lonely. Standards have nothing to do with it.
I’ve never had a friend since high school. My phone is just relatives and salesman from company I buy things from for my job. I work. I eat. I go home. Not one friend. I used to sit in the computer lab and do my homework for lunch in high school.
>>214371271teddy bear (2012)
>>214385904>helping their loser friendsSorry you see your friends that way anon. Must be a woman writing this shit, to see people in such an utilitarian way
>>214373143I haven’t had friends for about two years. It always seems to be a bad vibe when I’m hanging out with people and I have given up on turning off my downtempo nature to be all wacky and full of joyful energy. People have told me they like me better when I’m drunk and I used to enjoy making a fool of myself for laughs but I think they also think less of you for it. I’m just a self centred, neurotic fellow and it’s better this way, I’m tired of being so aware of my interactions.
>>214385904Not everything has to be a transactional self betterment seminar. I enjoy spending recreational time with my friends. Camping, hiking, oil painting. Even ones that are far more successful and time poor than me.
>>214384510They're less than 2% of the world population. Over 7 Billion people have probably never met a Jew in their lives.
>>214378660oh yeah, great movie about being all alone, especially the scene where he gets an intense blowjobdumbass
>>214379210Posy bose
>>214383061>>214383288It was written by a woman lmao
>>214385644I grew up in an incredibly wealthy neighborhood as the son of a gardner who gardens for elites. The kids I grew up with have trustfunds and free post secondary education/free housing from their parents. Or they were very good looking.I see your attempt to make me seem like a singular loser, I reject it entirely. Watch yourself.
>>214385904I didn't want "help" from my friends. I wanted to be treated like a peer. I legit hope you get cancer.
>>214386141>People have told me they like me better when I’m drunk and I used to enjoy making a fool of myself for laughs but I think they also think less of you for itthis is 100% why I stopped hanging with people/accepted when people stopped talking to me. I was the "funny" guy that made people laugh and when I decided I had had enough of the performing all the time I was swiftly excommunicated. Told I wasn't "bringing anything to the table". Okay.
>>214385904I dropped out of school and they showed up to my house exactly one time to ask why I don't want to go to school anymore, and then I never saw them again. Dropped me like a rock, no one ever tried to save me.
>>214386279Trannies are supposedly less than 1% of the population yet everyone seems to see one at least once a day outside. You go outside right anon?
>>214385128I watched my dad die when I was 8 years old and proceeded to watch as my mother sold our now multimillion dollar beach home to move into a home depot renovated shit box
>>214386456Are we talking about California or Earth? In the entirely of the continents of Africa, South America and Asia (excluding Israel) there are like 7 Billion people, how many Jews do you think there are?
Would you watch a movie about this dudes life?
Isolation is a topic that, a moron like me, thinks its complex to film and when I say complex...I mean...weird. why be alone? Good question since its not necessary so you chose it? Why die protecting your child? Why have a child to protect? If you have a child are you obligated to protect it?OP is always a faggot but he should watchThe RoadThe FountainThe FallThe order doesn't matter but existentialism is just herbal tea.
>I AM MORE LE MISERABLE THAN YOU, PITY ME NOW!great thread guys
>>214385904No one tries to help each other, that's just fantasy. Friendships like that don't really exist. Even "loserdom" is a fallacy. Losers aren't bad people, they just don't want to work much. If you stop being friends with someone because they don't party every weekend and go traveling to Europe every summer you're most likely just a fucking faggot and the reason so many of us stopped trying to make or keep friends. I shouldn't have to give a receipt of the last 6 months of my life just to impress someone enough to keep them around.
This random crudely rotoscoped Colombian movie is one of the most "literally me" movies I've ever seen. Just an unremarkable and lonely loser's life.
Remember the fallen.
>>214386504>n the entirely of the continents of Africa, South America and Asia (excluding Israel) there are like 7 Billion people, how many Jews do you think there are?A lot more than you seem to believe. Jews are fucking everywhere, anon, you'll see it when you travel a little more.
>>214386566Then why should anyone be your friend?
>>214377055Buffalo 66 is an indie masterpiece. Moonchild being tapdanced is iconic cinema.
>>214382147You can tell a woman wrote this cause no man thinks like this cuck. Only hoes think long term marriage with them is the real prize, like no bitch the prize is taking a woman’s virginity and her best years and youth
>>214373143haven't had friends since finishing high school in 2016i did have friendly acquaintances in uni and at certain jobs but they're just friendly acquaintances that eventually you stop talking to when to go work at another place or finish education Now I work alone or with one or two coworkers that are cool but they're way older than me (im 28, they're like 40s-50s), then I just go home and draw which isn't a social hobby so yeahmy parents are the only humans I talk tosometimes I think about doing social activities outside but I want to illustrate some stories so I just spend my free time drawing
>>214386508This is the NEET dream desu
>>214373143I acquired friends about 2 years ago when my first gf since high school included me in her social and lost them all in one fell swoop when I decided to break up with her for wanting me to be her substitute father. I am now maligned as a toxic male in that social circle so everyone I used to call a friend avoids me in the street. Oh well. It was nice while it lasted. Now I'm just the same as I was 2 years ago, you guys are my only friends.
>>214387113They were never friends. Real friends would have asked to hear your version of events and then decided who to support if any
>>214371271>>214372006I've always been lonely but I've never felt bad about it. I like being lonely.
There's a Korean movie called Aloners that depicts loneliness well. I recommend it. The protagonist is a woman though so it could be considered fantasy/sci-fi.
>>214379210You're so dumb you couldn't even finish out your sentence.
>>214373393kubrick was a massive autist. fitting.
>>214377690No, it's more ideal to have a loving parent/s that let's you live e off them into old age. Getting married means getting cucked for most men
Most people are rabid animals that would rip your face off if the government sanctioned it. Look at the entirety of human history and how vicious humans are. Mob rule.
>>214377752it's cathartic. when you're sad you listen to sad music.
>>214387161I guess. These are all people 6-7 years younger than me and we didn't really hang out without my girlfriend organizing something first, in part because I'm shy and never could make the first move to just ask one of them to do something for fun. I was a loner through most of my youth so I guess this was making up for it. I'm glad it happened at all, I guess. Moving on from better days now. Next year I'll be 25 and heading back to college so that'll be the next big adventure in anon's life. And whatever happens, I'm here forever.
>>214387409>I guess.I know, it's not a guess.Be your own man, you don't need a woman to coordinate your social interactions. You were dealing with literal teenagers, so I'm not surprised at the outcome.Anyhow, real friends won't abandon you like that. Most people are not real friends, it is what it is.
Welcome to the NHK has one of the more realistic depictions of loneliness I've seen in any piece of fiction. Sometimes Satou's thoughts would so closely mimic my own it made me realize the author went through the same things I did and I really wasn't that special. It's an odd feeling.t. NEETed from 19 to 23
>>214371271look, a self pity thread, sweet!!
>>214385834This seems like a Jewish philosophy to friendship.>>214386141Yeah. Same. The drunk jester was the only role I'd ever felt comfortable in though. Sober, im just like you. Maybe worse. A nuerotic irritable recluse with zero emotional control. Alcohol became a crutch and I turned into a fiend and went from the funny guy to the disgusting fall down alcoholic. Ive just never belonged.
I'm lonely sometimes but I'm also not an alcoholic. Alcohol is bad for you. Don't drink.
>>214382955this. no one can make you happy. to think otherwise is pure delusion.

Because most lonely people are also fucking boring, generic people. Ironically they call other people "normies", but most lonely men have the same narrow interests, the same basic opinions, and the same will to power. They're pathetic, boring people, that nobody would want to learn about.
>>214385128Making friends isn't an achievement.Having a girlfriend isn't an achievement.Tricking other people into liking you isn't an achievement.Actually finding good people to interact with might be just by sheer RNG required but it seems like a big waste of time to me.
>>214388042>Tricking other people into liking you isn't an achievement.The fact that you see it as "tricking other people" shows how dirty your soul really is.
>>214387021They would sooner die than work.And they should, the feds and their parents should stop supporting them and leave them to literally die while they bitch and moan about it but still refuse to get a job while on death's door.
>>214373143It's a vicious circle. If you have friends, they introduce you to more friends, they invite you to cool stuff, they teach you about interesting stuff, etc. If you don't have friends, no one's going to introduce you to friends and you won't have much to talk about because you aren't doing or learning as much interesting stuff. That's why it's important to make friends in school/college and maintain them. It's going to be much harder to make friends once you're out of that loop.
>>214388098No, it shows I've noticed how other people interact after decades of putting up with them. Anyone who goes on and on about the status or self-worth of having friends on 4chan is a desperate retarded gremlin who will sell their soul to be friends with one more pedophile because it means they "are someone", who will get 5 STDs willingly if a crackwhore offers to fuck them not because they're "just too masculine not to" but because it gives them the delusion of that sweet sweet validation and muh self-worthBut you will NEVER EVER EVER become self-aware, anything but that>>214388160The more time you spend online, the more interesting stuff you learn without even trying, over a certain IQ
>>214388205You've never really interacted with another human, and it shows. What a sad life you must live. An absolute waste of the time-limited experience we all get.
>>214388160not really.

>>214388160>If you have friends, they introduce you to more friends, they invite you to cool stuffI considered some people friends for 20+ years, they never introduced me to more friends, or invited me to "cool stuff".

>>214388160>you won't have much to talk about because you aren't doing or learning as much interesting stuffWhat the fuck? The opposite is my problem. I talk to potential new friends about>westermarck effect and inbreeding coefficients>pre-columbian colonization of america by phoenicians>dream symbolism and interpretation>historical genealogical connections between the rich and famous and its implications>the history and development of jazz and where the genre is headed in the future>critical analysis of jrpgs and how they've evolved since the 80s>the oeuvre of crispin hellion gloverand all they ever care about is dumb shit like tiesto/weeknd concerts, tarantino flicks, binge drinking, mmorpg dailies, the cheapest cuts of beef, and tiktok doomscrolling or whatever they call it. I would gain fucking nothing from them and they have the world to gain from me, yet I'm apparently the boring one?

>>214389819thank you for explaining to us that you don't understand what loneliness means.
>>214386469So what? Many people have taken far, far, far worse than that to a great life. Why couldn't you?
>>214373143Aristotle distinguishes between three types of friendship; those of pleasure, those of utility, and true friends. True friends are people who you genuinely care about and who genuinely care about you. It's not that guys have no friends, it's that we often come to the startling realization our long term friendships are really just friends of pleasure or utility. It's impossible to be very deep or open with friends like that because it's not pleasurable or beneficial for them. Sometimes you get duped into thinking you have a true friend because they come to you with their problems, but when you occasionally try to bring your problems to them, then they grow uncomfortable or distant. In that case, the true friend you thought you had was really just a friend of utility who wanted you to serve as their therapist. Most friendships are like this nowadays.
>>214373143I've moved to different cities for jobs. I've made acquaintances but no real friends
>>214371271I'm 29 and I'm single and I've basically never even really tried to date much. I've casually dated for up to 7 months but that's it. At this point I think I've been alone for so much of my life it just feels normal and having to share my life and compromise on every decision and be around someone all the time non stop just feels very weird and unnatural to me. But I'm still so lonely and I think if I stay down this path I'll ACK myself. Also at this point I only have one irl friend left that hangs out with my every few weeks. He's in an ltr now for a few years so now I'm just the loser that he pity hangs out with
>>21437314313 years give or take, though I've always had schizoid tendencies. I'll never comprehend how normalfags deal with other normalfaggot's emotional needs, It's absolutely exhausting.
>>214387519Mammonist, yes.
>>214390443Not you, though.
I recently dabbled in hanging out and having a new friend but honestly I am kind of over it. Friends are mostly a thing for teenage era. When you are growing up but not yet really a man so you band together for support. Then you eventually pair up with a woman and the friend thing falls away. So not really having friends as an adult is not that crazy.
