All these years I'm not close to figuring normies out >First warm day of year >Walk out of class past the quad >Flooded with young men and women in revealing outfits just lying around and enjoying being normies in warm weather >Since i've always been legit afraid of this kind of thing I pretend I don't notice and walk to my dorm Like, how did they know to be there? What was different in their childhood that they aren't scared of this at all? And the most pressing question: What am I missing out on? From the age of 11, when I would dodge my parent's demands to go to middle school dances, to 20, i'm no closer to the answers
I am so confused, you're puzzled that people are sitting around on a warm day in weather-appropriate clothing?

sociable people. Because i'm not like them and they can smell it. If I were to walk into that grassy field and try to really do anything i'd probably get some weird stares like "who is this guy" They would be offended by my presence Thankfully if you just keep walking they leave you alone. It wasn't always like that. I've felt this way my whole life. Two years ago my dad told me to go to prom and I just couldn't. Called up my boss and asked him to let me work that night. Dad wasn't happy when I came home in work clothes but i'm less afraid of him than them

Oh no you don't fit in with people lying around enjoying the sun! Your life is over!
I bet if one of those "normies" joined your CS:GO game, you and your gamer friends would ostracize them for being a noob.
Luis Martinez
Csgo is a normie game
Oliver Miller
fucking HOW

I'm not a normie and I enjoy lying around with friends in the sun
You get anxious around people and they don't. When you talk to someone they notice how overly tense you get, that your answers are short cut and your voice tense, that you make nervous movements, that you can't hold eyecontact for shit or even actively avoid it, that you don't seek any interaction by yourself. Now they are nervous too around new people but it's more managable and the stress is something more positive in their mind. So they seek interaction, they don't move or talk as uncomfortable and they sometimes have eyecontact. If you're an utter sperg in first time social settings that's fine, normies sperg out like that too and it's more common then you think, but with more and more exposure to you and the new surrounding they loosen up. So everyone's new, everyone's sperging out, but then things settle. And there's one autist who just can't do that.

You know what's worse than this fantasy persecution of yours? In reality, you would be utterly ignored. Because you are nothing special. You are a normie.

To understand how to do this, how to socialise you have to build up an understanding of it. surrender yourself to the world and accept who you are and then build yourself up in this new way. GO out and start socializing, you will slowly gain the skill and begin to understand. socializing is not limited to words, its also body language and the actions you chose to execute.

which part friendo
William Howard
Good advice, can confirm. Socializing is only hard at first. Body language is huge though. Two people can walk into a room full of people without saying anything and the one with good body language will be spoken to first.

I would rather kms before leaving my detrimental comfort zone.

What you don't realize is that ALL of them in the quad were just as nervous as you, at the start.
The first ones out there hung around inside gathering up their courage in case everyone else thought they were weird for being there. The rest only went out after they saw the first ones there and figured they wouldn't seem freaks.
The point is that they ALL wavered and were afraid and finally took the chance. And the sociability you saw was everyone being relieved they hadn't made fools of themselves.
If you gathered up your nerve to sit out there, you'd be welcomed as "someone else to make me look less like a freak for being here"

how did you fuck grills off Jow Forums lmao

You're just overthinking everything like they're a different species or some shit.
They woke up, saw it was a nice day, got a text from a friend asking if they wanted to hang outside and take advantage of the weather, so they went outside. Because you don't have many warm days a lot of people did the same shit and now there's a lot of people outside.
Christian Wright
How do i get the friend?

Meet people in class, find clubs on campus, go to school events. You’ve basically got unlimited options as a college student.

This was before /soc/, but I also had luck in /soc/ threads
Also, Skype groups (you're friends with a girl or some shit for long enough and she might invite you into her Skype group)
But that was before Discord, so I think discord is your best bet for online pootang
I learned the hard way that almost all women online have at least moderate mental illness, so you have to deal with that.
I lost it to a fembot, but my most meaningful relationshits were not online.
You have to stand out from the online crowd: not send her dick pics within 5 mins of talking, keep the convo interesting ( no "hey what's up" or "hey hey" bullshit ) and not look like a basement dwelling weeb.
Omegle/chatroulette is probably the worst, never go there.
