I can't even make online friends I'm such a fucking failure

I'll be your online friend OP. Unless of course you are actually a terrible person.

Other people are pure hell either way, either you completely hang on the drip of their sparse attention or they overwhelm you to the point it being annoying instead of fulfilling you. Atleast when I'm alone I don't have to go through mental torture

Sounds like we live in a hell of our own making.

I must be a very boring person. Even my attempts at shitposting don't arise any feelings or (you)s

I see it more like purgatory, it's not a good feeling but only seldom does it overflow into outright malevolent territory

I've got a lot of online friends, many are female and it's not sexual. People love me for some reason and even people on Jow Forums ask to be my friend I feel kind of bad ignoring them. A lot of these people I have known from back when I browsed forums. You should be each others friends, I don't know why people like me I'm such a loser but I guess I make people smile or something.

i'm starting to distance myself from my online friends just like I did my irl friends. how does anyone maintain relationships? how is it even possible? i feel like it has to be a latent skill i just wasn't born with

why do I even get my hopes up anymore

I'm speaking for myself here but I don't want to make more online friends because I already have a few I've known for years and devoting time and energy on another person out of the blue is too much.

i added you, im jun

What kind of purgatory have I created for myself still thinking fondly of you as my soul mate? Understanding and accepting that we are both flawed and wanting to ease your suffering?

I used to make online friends but they were all on phpbb forums. I tried with discord but it's just not the same, also a lot of people on discord are just really underage who I have nothing in common with

I want to save you, really wish I could. Take care please user

I have a number of people on my friendslist but I haven't actively talked to most of them in years. I'm too afraid to take the final step and delete them though. Somewhere like thrice a year maybe we catch up and talk about nothing for like 5 minutes until the conversation dies because neither of us can keep it going.

I can't really make friends at all. It feels weird. I've stopped trying now, of course, but even when people start a conversation with me it feels distant and impersonal. I'm not sure what I do wrong. Am I just boring? I don't spout memes or rant about my interests, and I try to spend more than half the time talking about them. I just act like myself but cut down on personal stuff and keep the edgy or weird things I think to myself.

To be honest, I wish people would just call me out on the social missteps I make. I feel too anxious that I'll unknowingly fuck something up to seriously engage in any form of interaction anymore.

>contributing
How can I do this? I feel like I waste peoples' time when I talk to them, and I assume this is part of it. How do I make people enjoy speaking or being with me?

I misunderstood what you were feeling and the burden you were shouldering. I always found you engaging and pleasant. I enjoyed every second I spent with you.

whats ur discord id, ill be your friend :)

Perhaps it's your body language. You said that you feel most interactions as distant and impersonal, and whether you like it or not, you are unconciously transmitting that coldness through your body.

There are thousands of "micro-gestures" ocurring in any interaction at any given time, and most of them are outside of our control. People notice them subconsciously. Therefore, if you transmit negative things (and you will if you are in a bad mood) you are going to produce a negative internal response in your interlocutor. Especily in the case of transmitting distance and disconnectoon, people are going to feel like you are not interested at all in them, that you are dead inside or maybe a psychopath.

Personally, I try to deceive myself into feeling well befora any important interactions. Try loving-kindness meditation and/or use visualization.

I hope this can make better your social life.
