My dad cried to me

He cried to me.
he was crying about 'having no friends'
he turns 50 in 4 weeks.
he was sobbing into my shoulder. me. mine. someone who works 6 nights a week (12hrs each) and he was crying _to me_ about having no friends.
I feel fucking sick.

do you live in his house ?
if yes you have no right to complain

Jesus that's sad. What the fuck's wrong with you OP?

Crying about you not having friends? Something very similar to this situation happened to me once, but I didn't know what to do or say.

Mom did the same and cried about bullying. Those are some real fucking feels, it involves a lot of stuff, I wonder where I'll be when I'm her age

I dont think by sick he meant complaining but sick at the human condition or something like that.

i do, but im in the process of moving out
what do you mean? i comforted him, i invited him out for 'drinks' on my night off, but i saw in him something that i see in my future. and i just felt sick.

What if I've tried to move out in grandpas inhereted car but dad claims he'd report it stolen if I did so (since its still under his name)? And when I ask what he would plan on using it for, he says he'd sell it? And then he complains and insults me further for shit since I'm living under his roof? (Not OP)

I had to move back in with my dad because he was so lonely. I lived alone for 3 years, but my mom divorced him and took my sisters with her. It's sad, but now I'll definitely never get laid since nobody wants a guy living with his dad.

so its genetic?

Well, he's only human. He's probably pretty lonely.

theres no doubt about it at this point. idk how he managed to land my mum/

same thing happened to me op. my uncle cried in my arms and i instantly felt something inside me snap, like the last bit of love i had for him just completely disappeared. i can't even take him seriously now. he's so fucking pathetic it makes me sick.

i dont see him as pathetic. but it instantly made me go low-inhib. i know it might not seem like much but i was walking down the street and a man was staring at me (like they always do. idk why). i screamed at him "What the fuck are you looking at?!, and he put his head down. I said "yeah, head down, lad, priiiiiiiick", and I felt like I had balls like baked potatos.

>my uncle cried in my arms and i instantly felt something inside me snap, like the last bit of love i had for him just completely disappeared. i can't even take him seriously now. he's so fucking pathetic it makes me sick.
The fuck is wrong with you?

He's just young. They don't really view their relatives as human beings and still hold onto their childlike perception.

yeah, i think i understand that sort of behavior better now. i've just been hitting weights and trying to ignore my cold anger. i realize that i truly have no one but myself.

Wait so is OP the one with zero friends? Or is it the father?
If OP, just fake having friends. Go out for extended stretches doing fuck all and come back slightly drink acting like you did something social.
If the father, I have no clue. Just try and comfort him OP. His life's clearly at a low point. Maybe you could try and help him out? But I have no clue how one could even try to establish a social life at 50.

we both have no friends.

you would feel the same if you grew up being subtly manipulated by your family and ignoring your own needs to satisfy them every minute of every day, only to find out years later that it never mattered and you were just placating a bunch of narcissistic, selfish crybabies.

How?

Origindfn

Knowing that you yourselves know what being friendless is like, do you think its acceptable to cry for this? If not whats an acceptable time to cry? My vote goes to parents/sons deaths

idk mate i havent had any friends since i start college. he never went but i guess he was much the same.

Damn OP the feels are real. Be more of a friend to your pops my dude. That's fucked up. He obviously trusts you if he's a grown man willing to bring down the macho facade we all carry amd open up to you. Be there for him man

tell the old man to join a hobby club or go to a local bar on a regular schedule.

satan trips say dont do this op. remember what happened each time you tried rejoining society and making friends? well why would it be different with your dad
