Yes but it requires motivation and the ability to put aside your self-loathing for an hour or two and actually go outside.

Just get a hobby which involves being around other people.

Yes but it's really hard. I pretty much only make new friends from work now and they never feel like "real" friends.

Go to a bar and be socialble you spaz. If you have even a shred of social underatanding youll be fine.

Yes. It's actually pretty easy, far easier than getting a girlfriend.

I find this hard to do. If I go to a social event alone with the goal of making friends I judge myself really badly, even worse. I keep telling myself 'lol you're a fucking faggot you're pathetic everyone thinks you're a faggot' etc.

Visit a therapist

Wouldn't normies think a guy who turns up alone to social things is pretty pathetic though?

You might start with inability to socialize but that also might lead to deeper things which causes it.

what if I dont have a shred of cultural understanding?

Possible? Yes. Probable? Not too much.

I mean you're pretty much making it worse on yourself if you're already bad at socializing and then set things to hard mode by going to a social event alone which will pretty much alienate you even more from people you could be friends with

Maybe I could socialise better if I wasn't so shitty to myself in my head. I'm just terrified of looking desperate.

True friends are found in strange places if at all. Don't expect that your online acquaintances or co-workers would ever go out of their way to help you. A true friend is a rarity

>I'm just terrified of looking desperate.
So you're afraid of rejection or what other might think of you?

Both really. But I know if people see you're desperate rejection is likely as well as ridicule

>tfw any attempt at socializing at work is seen as me "annoying people"
>tfw have no face for this

get a Boomer Hobby like Model Railroading or Fishing.
Model Railroading is comfy as shit.

yeah, nobody likes tryhards.

why would you want friends

I'm not a schizoid. I need to socialise or I go crazy
