I didn't.
I think everything is good. Everything!
Please don't be so close-minded.

>>3610474
I was almost at that point but about a year ago I decided to force myself into maintaining relationships.

>>3610478

Well. I had lots of friends in High School, but as soon as I graduated we moved to another city about an hour away via highway, and I don't drive so don't see them, and I don't have any friends here.

I'd have friends if they actually share the same hobbies as I am.

Too bad there's none like me.

I gave up all my contacts 2 years ago. Feels good man, people fucking suck and are annoying.

>>3610485
I constantly obsess over the times I sucked and was annoying.

I wish I had friends like Saten-san. ;_;

I still have a few friends. Can't play Dark Heresy, D&D, Space Hulk, and 40k alone, you know.

Well, I guess you could, but it'd be pretty fucking boring and pointless.

My friends were worthless, so I amputated them. 18 months ago.

I haven't had regular social contact with people my own age in 7 years or so. Basically since high school, and I didn't have any real friends then, either.

I still keep in contact with my elementary school and some of my high school friends.

Exactly the same as the OP, except there wasn't really an argument. I just told him his GPA is shit and he stopped talking to me to go study. Haven't seen him on AIM or spoken in a while now.

The only problem is I need his car to go grocery shopping. Goddammit...

/jp/ is my only friend.

;_;

I never made any friends since moving away for college a couple of years ago. I spoke with one of my high school friends on AIM somewhat regularly until he stopped logging on a few months ago.

I'm not sure if I've lost faith in 3D though. There are good people out there, they just aren't common and if I met one I probably wouldn't have the social skills to form a relationship with them.

Still have 2 friends I talk to on a regular basis

One of them only talks to me when he has something to say. One sided conversations. Can't even play a god damn game with him without him getting bored within 10 minutes

Other one talks to me mainly because we are playing Aion together. Though I'll probably quit soon. I want to read VNs, not grind in an mmo.

am I kawaii uguu~

>>3610823
oh ho~, why not whore ourselves?

I feel like my friends use me because I'm the only one that can drive. I'd like to one day just cut off all communication with them.

>>3610838
I'm 19 and those other people are are 20, 21, and 16.

>>3610538
Hey now, we're not all that bad.

>>3610474
I used to be in the same situation, then had an epiphany in which I realised life is too fucking short to be spent being a self pitying pathetic nerd, and manned the fuck up and got friends and a life, and I have never been happier.

>>3610849
I see it the other way around. Why should i have to spend time with people i hate, do things that i get told to, thinks things that i don't wnat to, have others tell me what they think is right?
Life is too fucking short, and i only have one life to life like I want and not someone else wants me to.

Never had friends in my entire life.

>>3610841

Holy shit, what the fuck is wrong with you people?

>>3610865
Proper grammar looks nice.

>>3610894
Shiiiiiit. I remember noticing that and being quire irked by it. I can't remember who I was with. People my age... at the unemployment place...?

I keep contact with some of my highschool friends, but thats about it, i have like, 2 good friends, some good ones, and the rest are quite generic... i mean, not really friends friends.. you could say, i kinda lost one of the best ones.

>>3610474
I did the moment I graduated.
Any strays that tried to get back into contact were immediately told to fuck off.

>>3610865
I FUCKING HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE USE "i" INSTEAD OF "I".

Furthermore, it's commonly used by normalfags who think poor English is, for some reason, acceptable on the Internet.

>>3610988
Drowning in irony is fine too.

/jp/ can't even do ronery threads properly anymore. Too many normalfags.

>>3611194
No one said anything anymore. Thread was already over.

3-4 years ago for local friends.
I don't regret it for even a single moment.
I have tried a couple times over the years to get in contact with females that I went to school with and they refuse to talk to me, I haven't even got a phone call since early 2008..... It was after I called a girl and she didn't pick up, she called back and thought I was someone else. She was my first kiss to top it off.
;_;

As for me it's been about 7 years. 3 if you count internet friends.
It doesn't get easier.

Still a little ronery left to be posted:
I only have my best friend who now lives some 200km away from me.

I never have contact with anyone from my high school.
And the only person from my primary school I have contact with is my best friend.

Fuck yeah, living in a new city is awesome when you don't know anyone and nobody seems to give a fuck about you outside of the classroom.
Apart from the girl who lives across the hall. I'm a 22 year-old virgin, but I haven't lost all faith in 3D. Yet.

>>3611194
Why bitch by bumping the thread? This thread sucks.

Also, I just lost the only people I bothered calling friends a few days ago aside from all of you fags. I was stupid enough to be close friends with two people who ended up as a couple - one got annoyed with me and lied to the other and the other believed it simply cuz they are together. So I stopped talking to them, stupid fuckin' drama I want no part in, especially sense it was bullshit.

All I need is waifu anyway. Oh and Arc, because everyone needs a token black friend.

>>3611457
>everyone needs a token black friend.
In AMERICA, maybe.

I lost all of my elementary school friends when I went to Middle School.
In my second year of Middle School I finally got a friend, but after a year he suddenly started to ignore me (along with all our mutual friends).
So yeah, I just thought they weren't worth it to make it up with. I was so fucking lonely ;_;
Now I'm attending university and there are some people where I can 'hang out' with and talk to about generic shit.
I think it's pretty funny that most of them already counted as 'best friends I've had' after 3 days of knowing them.

>>3611457

Oh, so that's what that drama was about...

And I just gave them both rather expensive gifts a few days ago too.

>>3611500
Yeah...they are both being total pieces of shit. The one who believed it and was told it didn't even bother coming and talking to me about it, just cut me off out of nowhere and ignores/avoids me completely even if i text or anything.

So whatever. Fuckers.

Give me something nice too, bro. ಠ3ಠ

We were a group of four once. I decided to leave them because all of them already graduated.

;_;

>>3611515

Shows me for thinking he was a nice guy. And sure, if I see you around tomorrow, couldn't be fucked right now, to be honest. From what I've gathered about her she's rather easily led by him anyway, though, so its really no surprise that she'd act in such a way.

>>3611522
The interesting part is, it's the one who lied isn't him.

Don't bother mentioning it to them though - just ignore them like they did to me and cut them off without explanation.

>>3611578

What a twist! If they were both idiots then I guess I'll ignore them for a few weeks.

I'm sorry for being an ass to you the other day, you're a good friend.

>>3611587
dawwwwww you're a good friend too fagers, even if you do wear dresses. Lets stop bumping this with our homo lust for now though ;_;

>>3611595

Alright, I'll see you around later, then maybe we can talk about it in more detail.

>>3611605


Don't judge when you've only heard one side of the story though, ok?

I have four excellent friends and a few more decent acquaintances.

This is actually more than I ever had before. I'm really picky about my friends and make new ones slowly. But the ones I keep are truly the best.

>>3611625

I'd like to hear at least Currybutt's side of the story before I make a judgement.

>>3611578
!konH konH

>>3611639
Too bad that's not the way that fag feels about it.

>>3611639

Of course there's currybutt's side, but did you try talking to the other too? You seemed to consider them friends, so isn't it a bit too mean to just ignore them cause someone else says you should?

>>3611678

I'll listen to them after I've heard Currybutt privately.

>>3611678
>>3611625

samelavadama

>>3611692

wat?

I still have some friends and I intend to keep them for as long as possible.

Never loose faith in friends.

When I first started University 3 weeks ago, I noticed a huge divide between those who live in halls and those who live at home. Now I live at home and the hall people are generally alright, but they don't make any effort to befriend commuters. I decided to forget about those loosers who only care about getting drunk and partying and made an effort to befriend others in my situation. And it worked, I may only 5 friends in my course to hang out with, but I'm happy. My point is, no matter how difficult it may be to make friends you should never give up, their is always someone else in a similar situation to you. Its up to you to make an effort to find them.

Lost faith in finding a 3D relationship however as young women have very selfish unrealistic expectations and only care about themselves. I don't have time for their bullshit

>>3611918
>Never loose faith in friends
I agree. You should keep a tight leash on that shit.

This thread has left me very perplexed. What do you mean by "friend"?

I have a small group of friends. They apparently like me, as they call me to come hang out occasionally. If not for that, I would have no friends. We normally just get together and talk, but many of them seem to be becoming more concerned with GETTIN PUSSY, which I cannot relate to at all, so I don't know how much longer it will last, at least in its current state. I talk to one person in college, but I don't consider him a friend. I don't like any of the other people in my classes and I refuse to socialize with them. Fortunately I don't live there so I am spared from any extra contact. Sometimes I'd like to just cut everyone off, but I doubt the first group I mentioned would leave me alone if I tried.

I did, however, cut off all of my friends from high school. Two of them called me a few nights ago around 2AM. They were drunk and proceeded to tell me how they were going to drive to my house and make noise outside until I would go hang out with them. I hung up on them and they never came, thankfully.

>>3610474
"Problem, Kuroko?"

>>3611918
>Lost faith in finding a 3D relationship however as young women have very selfish unrealistic expectations and only care about themselves. I don't have time for their bullshit

That's a pretty good opinion to have Anon. I've noticed college-aged girls are quite often amazingly fickle and self absorbed. If getting into a relationship isn't on your priority list, wait until you leave college and can date as an adult.
And I'm telling you all this as a femanon.

>>3612210
>femanon

Reported. Get out.

Hell I don't even know how to make friends.

How would you go around making friends? Do you approach people and say "Hi I'm <name>, can we be friends?" Talk about the weather?

>>3612226
Depends. What is your current situation? Are you in school, employed, a shut-in, etc.?

>>3612218

>>3612210
>femanon
/a/ called, they want you back. Do us a favor and never return.

>>3612226
Small talk. Take it easy, for example after a class you casually (and naturally) drop a comment like "Geez, what a boring class", with some luck someone next to you will reply "Yeah" or something. Now you can proceed to talk about shit related to the university and such.

>>3612245
Another method would be to (provided that you are absent one day) to ask someone about what happened the day you were absent. People do this all of the time and it would be an easy conversation starter.

>>3612243
But I don't go to /a/, Anonymous. I just want to talk about VNs and shit around in danmaku playan threads with you.

>>3612263
>But I don't go to /a/

Maybe you should start.

>>>/a/

>>3612231
Well currently I'm a shut-in but I'll resume college next year cause my parents are urging me to.

>>3612289
MMO it is then. You can also make friends over playing online grindan' games. DON'T go asking people "Will you be my friend?" or creepy shit like that, just have fun and later drop the idea of an offline meeting.

>>3612289
This >>3612305
Or these >>3612245 >>3612253

I'm in a new city, and having a sort of difficult time finding new friends. I'm gradually finding out that what I considered to be a normal level of intelligence back home is actually SUPR SMART U GAIZ

which means I consider most of the people with whom I interact on a daily basis to be incredible idiots.

>>3612316
Maybe you should stop being a pretentious asshole to begin with.

>>3612226
>"Hi I'm <name>, can we be friends?"

You don't do this. You just become friends. It will happen naturally. For example.

1) Go to class
2) Introduce yourself to the people next to you
3) Class over
4) Ask them to go lunch and stuff

>>3612324
One more thing to add.

Don't even bring up the animu, touhou or VN shit unless they bring in up first. Nobody would want to know about how Naruto and Sasuke kill the most awesome power Ninja or some shit. Try to blend in and stay low profile most of the time.

>>3612345
You know, that's exactly what I find weird about hiding powerlevels. I mean... if you don't show at least a bit of yours, how do you expect to find people with similar tastes?

Same thing for the other part as well. If they don't show at least a bit of their powerlevel, you're never going to know if they like stuff you like.

>>3612324
>>3612308
The one thing I'm really worried about is that I'm older than everyone else by 4-6 years. They'll just see me as the old guy.

My classmates in HS already finished college while I'll be still in my 1st year if I resume.

>>3612359
After my first class in university we went to grab something to eat with a few people (more or less what >>3612324 said).
There was one girl who immediately started talking about how she loved Japan and how she's trying to learn japanese and what kinds of anime she watches.
She pulled the whole conversation to herself, and I pretended to not recognize any of the terms she used.
However, everyone got pretty annoyed by her attitude (typical gaiafag).
People probably won't care if you have some sort of powerlevel, but my god, don't start bragging about it and don't try to bring it up in every conversation.
Some of those friends now know I have some interest in shit like touhou and vns (or 'japanese tentacle rape pics', when they joke about it when we're alone). Just don't try to randomly bring it up and go on and on and on about it.

>>3612359
Just suppress your powerlevel. That's what normalfags do, and the last thing you want is people thinking you are weird, because then they definitely don't want to associate themselves with you. It's kind of like talking to a naked man in a public park.

Also, if you didn't realise this contradiction yet, then welcome to adult life. You hide your real personality and a lot about you in public and only few, if any, people know your true self. These few people could be your family and very close friends and maybe your spouse.

>>3611457
Implying /jp/ is your friend.

Found a girl who called me "optimusprimecool", fell in love, will ask her out soon.

>>3612449
>fell in love
That sounds painful. You should get yourself checked out.

>>3612476
Yeah, didn't fall in love for years. Sex with feelings should be fine for some variation, so I'll stick with it for a while. Won't stop me from fapping to 2D though, hurr durr.

>>3612449
>fell in love
That hurts, bro.

I don't think I've ever fallen in love.
Though some scenes in Tsukihime when Akiha started talking to me made me blush.
Made me feel pretty silly, actually.

>>3612534
Show me.

Its been maybe two years. I just stopped talking to him. He was the last RL friend I had. I had another friend before that but the bitch backstabbed me. I was on really terms with her friend but after awhile we stopped talking.

>>3612575
Fascinating.

>how long ago did you lose your last ever friend
Exactly one month and 25 days ago. At least I thought he was one.

>>3610894

Welcome to my life

>>3610964

I was gonna say that this might be a troll but then I realized that these people exist and they know about 4chan.

>>3612393

Heck, you're one of the lucky ones if that just describes your adult life and not your childhood too.

I wish I had friends...

>>3614909
They are overrated.

What are you talking about? I have many friends.

I still talk to my best friend from highschool regularly after all these years. He's the only though. I've talked to a few people I've known for over 5 years from MMOs once in awhile, but I don't know them personally.

I have plenty of friends, ask me anything.

I'd want a happy-go-lucky friend who's into dark sci-fi etc. (not just sci-fi but other subculture stuff too) and is a weeaboo.

All I've found is metalheads, Sailor Moon fangirls and spaceship model fanatics that are 30 and nearly completely bald.

>>3614971
Why is that picture so hot?

>>3614993
I had a peer in highschool who was nearly completely bald at 14.

>>3615014

Hey I'm balding too, I was just drawing a stereotype.

>>3615026
I was just casually relating one of my experiences with people.

How do you baldies deal with your baldness? Do you try a combover to hide the bald? Did you just shave it all off to get it over with? Why are you so bald?

I've got so many friends its not that funny anymoar

>>3615061
I have an extremely thick head of hair. If I could donate some to bald people to thin it out I would be happy. Shits not so fun to groom.

I don't know why, but nobody wants to be my friend.
I swear, I go to their parties, talk to them like I care about whatever shit they have to say, give them stuff and help them out. But nobody does the same back to me.

I don't know what it is, but I think a lot of young people these days are just don't know how to interact with people. Nowadays what constitutes as a friend is someone you send texts to or someone on your buddy list on Facebook.

Friends aren't worth shit anymore.

>>3615381
No, friends never meant anything. Though these days the role of family and relatives is diminishing making people more isolated.
You are just thinking about idealized friends that no one ever has had. Maybe you'll realize that people are shit and trying to "connect" with other people is just bullshit and only relations you can have with people are superficial.

I still IM my best friend from high school whenever he's online.

I still talk to my high school friends when I see them on campus.

I have / have made a friend in every class I have this semester. Most of them have the same major so we have multiple classes together.

In total I have about 10 friends I see/talk to on a bidaily basis.

1. Open this image.
2. Save it as 4chan.cmd
3. Open the file you saved.
4. ???
5. Shit bricks.

K5JF7

>>3615445
I had a friend like that.
But then the truth I forcefully blinded from myself was forced into sight.
He was a furry.
It's safe to assume I broke all ties after this was forced back into my sight.

I've started to talk more in general and more people actively talk to me now.

I guess my sullen mood was more visible/effective than I thought it was and when I remove it people can act more freely around me. I guess I could try to be less sullen but it goes against my nature.

I don't have any friends, but I do chat with a couple of people in my classes every couple of days. Guess that satisfies me more than enough, but it would be nice to have someone to talk to.

Always have you /jp/ ;_;

>>3615603
If only it actually worked like that.

>>3615445

"Idealized" or not, when I do things for people I expect them to do something back.

Oddly enough, strangers act more friendly to me than my own friends. Especially elders.

You ever see an elder's face when you don't properly thank them or act politely? They get fucking pissed. Values are changing. Probably not for the best.

>>3615714
I alway act politely around others even if they don't deserve it. And what do I get in exchange?
Fucking Nothing.
Pisses me off to no end.

>>3615726

Tell me about it. That's the reason I started acting like nobody else is around when in public (as far as etiquette is concerned.) Be a self centered prick, the rest of society has earned it.

> I had some people I knew but we never hung out, when I left I just dropped all contact except for one guy who i eventually had a argument with. pig disgusting 3d

FFFFF it's my life story...

>>3615766
It's amusing how much of a hypocrite Anon can be.

Due to DRAMA I pretty much completely cut off contact with all of my high school friends immediately after graduation.

I had better friends in college, but I was still the loner type who required someone to pull me around to do anything social. So after graduation, I slowly lost touch.

Now I just keep in touch with one of my friends from college to play a weekly game online. We don't particularly chat outside of that.

I don't have any regrets, this is just my natural state that I have settled into. It finally feels right.

I'm still in contact with my college friends, since the four of us clicked together instantly. They know I have absolutely no interest in relationships and are perfectly fine with it.

My friends from high-school? I haven't talked to them since I left.

I don't have any social life or any real friends, and I haven't had any for a long time. Although those that are associated with me through class and whatnot don't have a problem with me at all.

I just think that I'm the only good person in the world and that everyone else is bad. Top that off with my asocial, schizoid nature and you get one person who is completely isolated outside of the work/school setting and is an ultimate narcissist. If no one else is going to love you, all you have is yourself, and you also feel that no one else is worthy of your love.

I feel sad and pity each one of you.

>>3615766
What the fuck man? How can you expect anyone to be polite when you're a prick?

Personally I act polite and try really hard to ignore the lack of reaction, because the couple of times someone responds is just so fulfilling.

No friends since I moved from my hometown in the summer of 2000 in the middle of high school. I'm now 25 and working.

The people I work with are hollow, empty shells of human beings living monotonous domestic lives and have trivial relationships with their friends and spouses, rife with internal politics and useless bickering and shit-talking which I overhear constantly. Trying to carry on stupid office smalltalk with them is a lonelier and more depressing experience than hiding at home.

>>3615381
>Nowadays what constitutes as a friend is someone you send texts to or someone on your buddy list on Facebook.
Fucking disgusting, isn't it?

I don't think the problem is times changing, rather it's people aging. Everyone's best friends were from their childhood because the friends you had as a kid were fucking awesome.

Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't give two tugs of a dead dog's cock about making any friends. I wish I was a shota again, THAT'S my problem.

Talked to maybe 3 or so people in High School but lost all contact with them after graduation. I now I have 2 internet friends who I talk to about anime and video games. They also read /jp/, it's going to be weird if they find this

I actually had about 5 friends I did stuff with for 4-5 years after highschool. 2 best friends moved, 3 other "friends" I decided are pieces of shit and I want nothing to do with them. I don't like friends anyways, I am introverted and hate human interaction. Internet friends and talking to the friends that moved on the other hand, good.

Only had 1 friend as a kid. At high school she started to make a lot of new friends and I became more and more withdrawn.
