Real talk

Do any of you guys struggle to make friends? I know I do myself (tbh I don't have any ;-;) I've always tried to make friends but it never works out I'm not pushy or anything like that I'm more of a kind hearted person I love helping out people including elderly people. But when it comes down to talking to or hangin out with people my age (I'm 20) both male and female don't really talk to me even in group projects at college I'm typically pushed out even though I try my best to be a part of the conversations sometimes they don't inform me about meeting up to work and finish a project. But my point is do any of you guys also struggle with or use to struggle with this? If so what did you do to cope with it?

How I cope with it is by not really giving a shit about it. I don't really have friends in reality and it does get lonely a bit, but I just play games or something then I'm all happy unless I'm about to rage quit on a game or something comes up.

so-so. I think I'm a bit of an ass (even if people never say it). I try not to be when I can help it but.. meh. Offline I don't really interact with friends much. When I go out I mostly keep to myself, which obviously would make it hard to make friends. Used to have a few, some from school others from work. I'd like to think I'm better off. Most of my old friends were bad influences, my best friend from high school for example was constantly trying to convince me to take up stealing with him. Around here I don't even really care. I've had 200+ people send me friend requests but nearly none of them are what I'd call friends, haven't even spoken to most of em. I honestly don't expect anything from anyone here anyway. Every now and then I meet people that I talk with and somewhat get along with for a while. They say I'm interesting or nice or whatever but it usually doesn't last long. Sometimes our reply's get shorter and shorter over time till we run out of things to talk about, other times they just loose interest and stop responding. I try to never ignore any messages myself, even if it's from people I'm not crazy about talking to, not that I blame anyone for dropping our conversations, it happens. On other sites I hang out on I'm able to get along with people and fit in much better in comparison. Gotten to know more than a few pretty well over years. some I've known for like 5+ years. Even hung out with some that lived in the general area offline a few times. There more than a few would probably be insulted if I said they weren't my friends. I introduced one of them to this site once but they didn't stick around long, said this place was a joke.

@OP: I feel your pain. Chin up, all sorts of people will come in and out of your life. The reality is that people have more acquaintances than actual friends. If there's one person you consider as a true friend, then consider yourself blessed.

Yes. Absolutely. I have one close friend other than family in real life who I've known for several years and I'm content with that.

no, despite me not being social people tend to like me in real life. My main problem is having fun with them as I usually attract a niche group of friends that are opposites of myself. I just kind of float around among my group of friends and I'm like the akward guy that's accepted just because I guess.

Meh I take a while to warm up to people. I have been told I come off as stuck up when people first meet me, but that's not it at all. I'm observing them. If I don't think we have anything in common, I remain cordial or polite but never open up.
