I kinda wish I had friends I could banter with.

I prefer echo chambers and hugboxes personally

>>132147
Interesting

>>132146
pro tip: just make friends

>>132152
I've never considered that option before

Looks like we have a new schizo

Why is it never a vaporwave summer, why does it always have to be a shut-in, no sea, no fancy drinks, no shrimp salad nor chill smokes summer…

You don’t have to rigidly adhere to dogma. All of science, philosophy, and even religion is about using things as a basis and expanding from it. You can create your own hyper feminist version of Buddhism if you need to. The mormons did far sillier modifications to Christianity and somehow they’re taken seriously. The Jews would say the same of Christianity or Islam. At any rate just please try to help yourself. When you’re tortured by your own perspective and want the pain to stop the only thing you can do is look outside.

Don’t talk about yourself like that

i have a genuine interest in medicine but fuck if i'm actually going to be able to whole-heartedly study it in the future lol. i was a depressed retard in hs and never studied and didn't care about my grades and never applied to any good colleges because of it, so i've been working through this pharm tech program for the past few months but i'm legitimately scared it's not going to get my anywhere. i'm almost 6 weeks away from being done and i just have a pit in my stomach that i've wasted all this time and money for books and getting my license and taking the tests and going on an externship only to bum around for months or years because i can't get hired anywhere. it's ultimately my end game to move the fuck out and into institutional pharmacy for better pay and to get my foot in the door for real education about medicine, but given my track record with school i feel like that's just a pipe dream. sigh.

I'm a recent grad in Microbiology and had similar fears to you. I was a really shitty student in both high school and college, like 2.7 GPA shitty. Despite that I got into a healthcare career that pays well enough and encompasses my interests because I had work experience on campus that was somewhat related and they asked for a degree instead of my transcripts. Now I'm doing fairly well at my job. I know it's a college student thread, but just wanted to post so folks like you know to not give up. All that matters is having that degree and taking on work and volunteer opportunities in the life sciences departments of your school. I'm not even sure if the latter is required but it definitely helps.

I'm not accusing you. It could be true (anything can happen) but there's no reason to think that yet, and if they jumped to that conclusion assuming you provided little detail, then they're not worth listening to.

And yeah by I meant they're projecting their dynamics of keeping sore losers around.

>>132119
>Its just weird that theyre all doing great romantically (well most of them some have shitty bfs but oh well) while Im just left by myself
if people have the social skills and looks to find a boyfriend, they will do so. socialisation can only be taught to a certain point, and you haven't even asked for their help. why would they be thinking about your love life, and how is it weird that they have more success than you? are you even trying at all

>I feel hurt, besides I also want a bf experience.
they won't miraculously find you a bf, you're the only one who knows what you want, and it's your job to try. they can't carry you through your love life. the most you could even ask is for help with outfits, texting back, flirting & hangouts with scrotes that they know. it takes quite a bit of mutual involvement, and naturally, most people don't jump to do it without being asked

>>132120
socialising isn't your strong point? that explains the not-dating thing, much easier than the possibility of sabotage. but yes, we can't write off the chance of sabotage entirely, even if a lack of social skills could be a more obvious answer.

yes, they could be keeping you as an autistic jester (if you're asking about whether or not that's real, it is.) but it's tiring to keep around an autist just for this reason though, and there are generally more glaring signs that people pity you rather than like your company (ignoring what you say, speaking over you, friends breaking off into smaller groups where you're not included, forgetting what you've told them, etc)

>they basically said that my friends think that I am romantically incompetent or they want to have a "poor, sore loser around"
you didn't question them further about whether your friends said or implied these things directly behind your back? what are they basing these assumptions on? putting up with an unsociable autist just for an ego boost isn't as likely as your friends simply not knowing how to help you or breach the topic, for example.

Try taking small steps. Say "Good Morning" to people. Act friendly and ask people how their day is going. Give complements and smile regularly.

>>98698
Have you tried getting online friends?
It might help.

>>98682
>why not just socialize with actual normies if that does it for you?
I have tried and it doesn't seem to work except for one friend that I know since school. but I can't be needy and bother her all the time.

When I was in elementary school me and my classmates used to sneak into the kindergarten nearby through a hole in the fence. We were trying to move stealthily around the playground, looking for places to hide. That was pretty fun.

That sounds awesome. I miss hide and go seek

I remember some of my earliest experiences with the internet was download ROMs and emulators (SNES, Sega, NES). Learning how to get these programs to work was foundational to my interest in computers, software, as well as my IT skills which us millenials supposedly have.

>>132077
lol this reminds me of the first time I tried getting into Pokémon when I was 9. There was a disclaimer on the rom download page like “if you do not own this game you must delete this file within 24 hours” and I actually considered taking it seriously

Honestly I'm tempted to, I can't get out of bed until 4pm some days. I don't know what to do, I can't find a job, I owe my mom hundreds of dollars of money for her credit card bill because she lets me use it to buy food which just screams to me I'm gonna be in debt later in life. I guess it's less I've given up and more I just don't know what to do
