22 percent of millennials say they have “no friends”

>22 percent of millennials say they have “no friends”

>"Today, members of the millennial generation are ages 23 to 38. These ought to be prime years of careers taking off and starting families, before joints really begin to ache. Yet as a recent poll and some corresponding research indicate, there’s something missing for many in this generation: companionship."

>"A recent poll from YouGov, a polling firm and market research company, found that 30 percent of millennials say they feel lonely. This is the highest percentage of all the generations surveyed."

Also, please post your favourite Blink 182 song.

Has it been posted before? My bad.

One of the 22% reporting in. I basically talk to nobody outside of work and family. Well other than you bastards, of course.

Toxic and degenerate society!

Adam's Song.

I have no friends but strangely that's not even what I want.

A meaningful career and a qt wife and in the future some kids rank way above friends.

Why not? What happened to childhood friendships?

What if we've been taking the wrong approach with the video games = violence study?
What if its correct, but only because video games and other nerd activities lead to friendlessness and uselessness, which in turn results in a domino effect of everything wrong with the modern world.

What if I said I was a degenerate who voted for the right wing because I had hoped it would protect the country from people like me?

Do you expect to meet and woo a girl without having friends? From what I've heard girls tend to find it important that a guy has some kind of social circle.

People move for work or housing affordability.

You've posted it every day for a week now you jew

Not me. First time I saw this article.

Never thought I'd have to explain this but you're supposed to hang out with your friends in person

Future's brighter than i thought. I just hope Death Stranding doesn't fuck it up.

Sounds interesting, when does it come out?

Believes in the (((studies)))
Yes, good goyim

im probably in the top 5% of neetness on 4ch, i have spent the majority of the last 12 years or so alone in a bedroom, and most of a few years before that after hs - i worked at toys r us for 10 months and was layed off right at worst part of recession, never found another job - i looked again properly when things got better in about 2013 and on but then i started getting very ill with what turned out to be a severe chronic bowel disease (shit and bleed too much to work any normal job now), im surprisingly sane i think all things considered, i just hate how my doctor doesnt give a shit about my condition (due to steroids to control the bleeding my bones went to shit and ive developed a painful debilitating permanent spinal kyphosis deformity aswell)

i have no friends either, and no prospects or ways to make any irl, i have a couple close online friends and a small disco community of friends but thats it, i dont even have guildmates because ive been too ill the last 4 years to even play games, my poor mom is getting older and i cant help her much anymore because im too disabled, i cant even drive im totally reliant on her, i really feel like a massive failure sometimes

i think im a decent and interesting person but no one will ever know that

nothing but an empty painful existance

Of course I don't. Just giving my perspective.

Well good luck to you mate. Hope you meet someone.

Lol

Slaves didn't have friends either

I have 4 close irl friends. We never see each other irl. We only talk in discord and we play old school runescape all day every day. It's honestly depressing as shit but I can't find the motivation to change anything.

Feels bad man. Haven't had a friend in years. Literally nobody. So god damn lonely sometimes. A hug from even a stranger would probably have me burst into tears.

John B Calhoun called this back in the 70s

Some of this but I also drifted away from a lot of my childhood friends during the last 2-3 years of high school. I probably need to be on meds for social anxiety, just became a bit of a loner and shut in, don't feel like I fit in with folks and really put in the effort to foster close friendships

Oh well. Got a good job and am otherwise pretty normal, so can't complain too much

Why don't you have any friends, do you think?

and 78% said there twitter followers are there friends.
>i have 700,000 friends!!!!

Do you think those friends felt as if you'd abandoned them?

Possibly, but who knows. They still had each other and their other social circles, though.

I am 38 and I am not a millennial.

Good for nothing, piece of shit.

thanks multiculturalism

In college, I make an effort to try and befriend people with nofrens and group them together. I don't like talking in groups, so I just let them be once they finally have frens. I'll still be their friends and go out with them to get food/bowl but God talking in groups annoys me.
However, even I never go near people who seem... Off. People who pick at their skin or scratch themselves or make strange noises scare me. Not in fear of my life, but fear that they genuinely are a person who would make my life or others' lives worse with their shit.
I'm employed by my University to live with and help freshmen adjust to Uni, but God creeps are hard to deal with.

If you're able to go to work you probably don't need social anxiety meds. If you think you're normal now wait until you have a benzo dependence and see imaginary giant heads peaking at you from around corners during withdrawal. Take it from a 20 year druggie, stay the fuck away from anxiety meds, they should be reserved for people unable to function without them.

In same boat. For me? Most left. Then I left. There were a couple of others I betrayed. Took their girls. I was young and weak, and they were all over me. It wasnt worth it. I regret it. It brings me great shame. I dont talk to them anymore. I vowed to get rich, that one day, I could mail them a large check, so that I might be able to forgive myself. Girls come and go from my life, but no friends outside of work. Except you bros. Dont lose your friends bros.

They all forgot me. I even had a girlfriend at one point. She couldn't even remember my name. Now I do nothing all day, just waiting to die. I don't need anything.

How many friends do you have?

all of them being dog moms

Thanks for making me feel good about myself, friends.

I did it twice to the same person who was my best friend. First time his gf broke up with him, and went for me. I took the opportunity. I was 13 at the time. After a couple years we started hanging out again, he forgave me, eventually gf left me after I went from weird but cool, and well traveled chadling to lefty pussy in high school. He got a new gf, who was my G/T teachers daughter, who had wanted me first, then started dating my best friend to get to me. I ignored it for years, always making sure he knew what she was doing, and he didnt seem to mind all that much. Then in college, she broke up with him. I had since regained my chadliness, lifting, eating right, doing better in school, and I told him not to worry and that we were gonna go out and get him some females. He told me that "he thought I was better than that" and stopped talking to me. Couldn't get through to him afterward. His ex called me up after finding out, and I just rolled with it. It was a shitty thing to do.

Just as long as you stay on your side, beaner.

I went to a very competitive high school and I was always halfway between wanting to succeed in high school and also being a nihilist and hanging out with the "bad" group.

The nerdy kids would throw you out of a plane if it meant they can get a .05 higher GPA when they applied to college. The nihilists, were, well nihilists and spent all their time doing drugs, going to parties or playing video games. Out of the 4-5 closest friends I made in this group, not a single one graduated the same high school. Obviously I saw there was no future hanging out with these guys and applied myself at a junior college.

Making friends after transferring to a very well known, semi-elite college wasn't meant to be either. One of my roommates in the first year was this very outgoing guy from England. He was a very friendly guy and I could have made plenty of friends through him. After a few days though, he felt homesick and moved back to his home country and never heard from him again. My other roommate was a guy from China whose English was very poor which made it hard to communicate let alone build a relationship. I never felt the drive to join any clubs and making friends in classes only work if you're extroverted or very smart, I was neither. A few years after graduation and not much has changed.

What are you eating? Give up wheat, barley & rye user if you've not already. And assume raw veg is a no? It is for me still. I got diagnosed with a bunch of shit and was on so many tablets in same timeframe as you. Doctors just don't care.
Prolly really need magnesium and vit d supplements at this stage, deffo take magnesium & try to get off as many meds as you can. I found mine were making me worse and exascerbating symptoms. If you can make a 15 min walk a day to build your stamina and strengthen back muscles (accident in 2011 left me with 3 slipped discs and some fused now) if you can build to three 15 mins a day thats something. Walking ll help your gut, too.


Try to meet a girl irl, even if you meet online first and be honest with her. It might take 4 years or more but you will find an improvement in your health. I had no energy til about last october when I cut gluten and the brain fogs just lifted. I even had a biopsy and not coeliac, it just helped. Before that my friend drove us 20 mins away to town and I fell asleep in her car on the way home. Husbands very understanding about my crap health. People will surprise you user, don't give up on yourself. If you drop a throwaway I'l get back to you if you fancy talking about anything

ded or lost touch

drugs are a hell of a drug

Just fucking lie. It doesn't matter anymore since women's standards are insanely retarded considering most of them have man-faces caked in makeup and are overweight.

Was this in the rustbelt region?

I sincerely hope you're on disability and getting a check from the government

What he needs is a job

A girl asked me to be her boyfriend over the phone (lol) when I was in high school and 3 other girls showed romantic interests before high school but I was too introverted to take charge in all situations.

Drugs are everywhere now, though my friend did die in the midwest

That's a funny way to spell "new york jews"

>retards still think this is like a videogame and netanyahu is the big boss

Judging by that user's post, he is either suffering a debilitating medical issue and can't get a job and is probably getting some form of welfare or he is delusional about his condition. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since he sounds like an honest lad.

Because the concept of friends doesn't exist outside high school.

>thinks the 0.00001% of the budget we send to Israel is why he's a miserable faggot

And Israel isn't even an ethnostate lol. 50% of it is larping russians and arabs. Jow Forums can be pretty silly sometimes.

Hi fren :)

>22 percent of millennials say they have “no friends”
confirmed from my side

Do you hope to have a girlfriend some day?

Most of these stories weird me out since, for whatever reason, other people have always approached me to be friendly. I've held two temporary jobs since the start of the year and there are always dudes in their 20s/30s who are like "hey man what's up you seem like a cool guy". It was like that in highschool and college too, people just "knew" me and would come up to me even though I was an autistic loner NEET.

I guess that's why I'm considering military->fully paid grad school now that I've wasted my 20s futilely attempting to become a bureaucrat and failing because those jobs pretty much only hire black wahmen now.

that sucks

materialism and interest based contacts. people only contact each other when it's in their own interest

>literally me

No I think the 10 trillion dollars that went to bailouts for kike bankers at places like Goldman Sachs while kikes running auto companies continued to gut the economy are why my life sucks

>unironically defending loans taken out that you have to pay for which have only benefited the .1%

Hi, fren

Of course good lad. I'm the same person who said I would want a career and a wife with kids much more than some "friends".

But honestly I'd skip through all that dating BS and go straight to marriage. Not interested in the tinder culture, even in the off chance I'd be successful at it.

>still thinks the kikes own the banking industry
>not WASPs giving each other insider trading tips in country clubs
The whole "blame the kikes" thing they shilled really did wonders.

user, I'll join the others in encouraging you to give a ketogenic diet a try. The carbohydrates cause leaky gut syndrome and chronic inflammation which smashes your joints and causes asthma. You may not able to get 100% of your health back, but I'll bet you can recover far more than you think. Give it a go for six weeks and see how you feel.
Once you're on track with fixing that, start showering every day and leaving the house. Small steps, man. I'm assuming you're still relatively young. decades lie ahead of you and that that is a long, long time to be lonely. Plus you'll cheer your mum right up when you start living life as it is meant to be enjoyed.

It was 17 trillion, all given to jew-run banks.

Well, it's not too bad. The worst part was my senior year of high school where I literally had nowhere to hang out during lunch period.

I'm also thinking about going the military route but not sure what's in demand that's not STEM as I've never been good at science and math. I scored pretty high on the ASVAB, but those were questions 13 year olds would have no trouble with. After having an office job for a couple years, doing some recon stuff with my mates in the desert sounds very appealing.

>still thinks WASPs own the media
>not kikes who constantly trash white people
The whole "blame white men" thing they spilled really did wonders.

>jew run banks
>because CEOs during varying intervals were Jewish
You don't know shit how these companies work, do you?

And there it is. More of the same "woe is me the world is out to get me and nobody likes me because of a global conspiracy to hate white people!" It's not that, you're just not as great as you think you are. Stop thinking Jow Forums is an accurate reflection of societal paradigms.

NO ONE CARES

FRIENDS ARE FOR FAGGOTS AND WOMEN

MUH LONLINESS

GO OUT AND GET LAID INCEL

See what's interesting is that i have a good amount of acquaintances from school or work but desu i feel close with an anonymous group of people. Perhaps a testament to how much i think human interaction is tiring.

This. I was about to say, you can bet the reality is MUCH higher than 22 percent. Probably in the fucking 90 percent range

Serious answer? Alienation of social interaction from personal physical encounters to virtual interactrion through text and screen. This is coupled with the growth of population and transient nature of one's place of dwelling. Tight-knit communities have collapsed as a mode of socail interaction for most people and very few can call upon such a thing. Subsequent meetings in person are treated instrumentally as they become more and more one-off and the tendency to use personal encounters as opportunities for personal gain grows as you don't feel the perssure or negative effects that come from having to show your face to the same people again.

Despite the high tech-savvy nature of our generation, our focus on communication technology is crippling almost a fifth of people in their ability to form meaningful bonds with others. This alienation is both creating instability and is crippling the economy as both creative and productive people can fall prey to social isolation and little is done to address it.

The worst aspect of it is the self-inflicted nature of this isolation, which, ironically, is reinforced by lack of interest from others and isolation of potential friends from one another through use of virtual media.

WASP influence and power has declined severely post war dumbass. There's a good reason why kikes are marrying into every remaining successful WASP clan as well.

Except that's just not true. It's still the same old money hiding there.

Then you're dumber than I thought.

Army always needs people. Regardless, legal, Intel, finance.

Lol. Sorry fren, you're the only dumb one here. First you blame white men, just like the media told you. Then you go for the ad hom after throwing your exact argument back at you. You accuse me of self pity, a very woman like insult. Then when I say that cant even be true, since I'm not white, you insult my intelligence for not believing what the Jews in the media told me. Quite the pilpul. You see it all the time in court. Very familiar with it.

>blame white men
Never once did that. I blame whale-tier wealthy people of all types. In my city it's Indians who control the entire healthcare network. I'm not stupid enough to interpret that as "Indians control the world." Catch my drift? Leave your crying about pilpul to threads where you know you're not able to grasp the concept. This is simple enough you don't need to fall back on that.
