    “2 real friends”?

    I’ve been at 0 real friends for so long that even the thought of socializing with anyone stresses me out.

    Real talk, how do you make (non-romantic) friends as an adult? I only have 3 close friends and all 3 of us are fucking 😐

      Hobbies is usually one way to talk to people who you may become friends with often.

        Too many people don’t invest into their interests and finding like-minded individuals. There are communities for everything

      “Real friends” as an adult means people you see more than once a year outside of work and family, who you can name and know the name of at least one of their kids.

      Be a regular at a theme night at some bars

      Maybe check out if there are any hacker spaces near you if you’re more into crafting and making things

      Get addicted to video games and party up with strangers

      Sounds like a fucking good time, but here is the plan: “when it comes 2 fucking, don’t fuck!”

    spot on

    what annoys me is that ostensibly there are people out there living the fucking dream, somehow. a fRiEnD gRouP and a house and a partner and a fulfilling job and they work out at 5am every morning and feel great.

    society must divide

      “I see in the fight club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables, slaves with white collars, advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of the history man, no purpose or place, we have no Great war, no Great depression, our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives, we’ve been all raised by television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars, but we won’t and we’re slowly learning that fact. and we’re very very pissed off.” -Tylor Durden

      I truly don’t understand how people have friend groups as adults. It was a pain in the ass to get my 6 friends (two separate groups of 3) together for my birthday with a month notice. One of those friends has a big friend group from high school and now that they’re all around 25 they’re starting to find out just how little opportunity there is to get 12 people together who all live in different places now, have partners, jobs, some even kids already.
