I have a beautiful wife and kids, that was easy. Friends though, people are just to sensitive these days. --- PSN Gamertag - Isiot_X | |

XeonexFlash posted... Lol, all the friends I had/have are bungholes, I don't think I ever had a single true-friend besides my mom but that doesn't count. if this was facebook i would 'like' your post lol | |
I agree with Tigerex. And yes this topic is sad. That being said I'm in the same boat as TC. Some people are just screwed. I can't even tell you half the dark thoughts that swirl through my mind. Some of us are not meant to be accepted, at least not by civilised folks. I died in spirit a long time ago. Now everyday I just go through the motions, waiting for the real death. My games are my only companions. --- "He's dead! I love him.... Oh he's breathing.... Loser!" | |
I have got one friend and many acquaintances. Yeah I can go and have fun with my acquaintances but I know that they are too selfish and lazy to be real friends. I do think that it is unhealthy to be alone and have no friends, even if you just have acquaintances at least you can get out even if it is just once a month to have a different kind of fun compared to games. --- Buy a PC so you can have tomorrow's technology with yesterday's games, today! | |
LimblessQuasar posted... squon8888 posted...And ive tried getting new friends, all i have to say waste of time and way too much effort. Friends are overrated as hell and most people are phoney or flakes anyways. Making friends today is 100x more difficult than it was 10yrs ago and its ridiculous the effort it takes just to find real people. Communication goes both ways, if theyre not gonna make any effort in getting back to you, theyre not worth my time. People are busy, lives change all the time, but i dont care how busy you are...you make an effort to keep in touch with people if you are legit. Most i met are just phoneys.. When I was heavily networking, I met a ton of people everyday, from all sorts of fields. But for the most part 99% of people ive met and known in the past 10years, you talk to for a day, couple days, maybe a week, whatever....and never hear from them ever again. You try to get back in touch with them, fire them off an email, and nothing. These are not friends. Theyre phoneys. So I stopped going cause i saw no point in wasting my time with people who jsut want to mingle for a couple hours, then never again. I mean whats the point? Why bother? I still get email reminders with upcoming meets in the many groups im in, but ill take a look at them, the time and date, location, cost, whos going, how many are going. Itll cross my mind for a few seconds about going, then ill be quickly reminded just why I havent gone to a single one since Dec 2010, and then i laugh and shake my head in disgust cause i know just going by my experiences its a total waste of time. | |

Now everyday I just go through the motions, waiting for the real death. My games are my only companions. I'm glad you do, and I understand your situation. I had social anxiety for quite a while and it just popped up out of no where. Before that happened, I used to try to keep people from wanting to be my friends (not trying to brag, but when you're confident as a guy, people just want to be around you). But after I suddenly developed social anxiety I think people could smell it some how and little by little friendships started dropping; but a lot of that was my fault too, I didn't answer calls when people would call me to hang out. Now, I'm not completely my old self, but I'm definitely not in the "alone" zone anymore. I wish the tc and the others who feel like outcasts to feel better and look for help if they ever find the courage. and btw, I'm older than you tc, so just you know I'm not some teenager trying to give you life advises. --- i5 760 @ 3.8ghz / 4GB DDR3 Ripjaws / GTX 460 SLI @ 800/2000 / Cooler Master GX 750W PSU / Cooler Master Advance II case / Acer 22 1680x1050 / Windows 7 64 | |
tigerex777 posted... squon8888 posted...I admit, when I lost my friends and they moved away, thats when I bought consoles and got back into gaming. I have no friends, no social life, its been this way for the past 6 years and I use gaming in substitution of friends. Instead of going out with friends on the weekend, I stay home and play games. Im sure im not the only on here. Yes Im a loner, but finding real friends are a lot harder than it really should be. Im 31, ive been through it all, ive seen it all, through the good crowds, bad crowds, known people of all sorts, from all different moons and planets. Ive seen it all. It is much different than 10 years ago, people mind their own business these days, they go to work, home, school, sleep. They keep to themselves. They dont give a damn about give or take friendships. They just wanna go about their day and not be bothered. Thats why i stopped trying. I mean why if it was just a waste of time and money? |
