playing sports or doing drugs are the number one ways to get friends. each fosters a sort of brotherhood. either that or maybe be a nerd and everyone thinks ur a nerd and u got spirit of shared suffering with other nerds lol.

after that, with girls, it's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCYwcObxl78

i'd focus more on getting friends before the girl-variant, fwiw


That's my main focus right now, I agree, I'm just not really having success with either.

I don't really think I have a problem with girls specifically so much as people in general, they're just regular people and not worth anxiety and I know that much.

I think omitting that aspect would do wonders if it is something you do on the regular

rationality is fine. i mean some people are iffy around that but you do you, man. just make sure you're being concise. no one likes a windbag.


I generally only say what I think is 100% necessary so I really don't know how to be more concise.


well i dont know how you talk irl so i'm just giving general advice. maybe you're fine on that front.

Build your confidence up. Be funny. Be the leader. Look friendly and approachable. All of these are easier said than done but there are ways online and books on how to become all of these things.


dont do these things, being alpha is overrated especially if you're under 5'11.


Don't listen to Retti. You need these traits in order to live a fulfilled life

i mean i thought he had a gf so i would assume he is usually well composed and charismatic as long as he isn't asking for bee movie and chill or a portrait of our lord and savior jesus christ to be present when hes going in on his girl

Like I don't know why you always have to try and troll me, whether it's in games or outside.

just try to find commonality with people. and yeah i think nat said this before but a conversation goes two ways, and you should definitely be interested in what they have to say

I mean of course any time I make a thread or show any vulnerability whatsoever Calvin has to jump in and be condescending like always.

This is the first time I've admitted I need help. Can you stop or go somewhere else Calvin?

I'm not the worst socially but I'm really not the best and I'm looking to improve.

fair says

Try illegal drinking to loosen up


It makes me feel pretty dumb so I don't really like to drink, the few times I have I got very belligerent. (See: Me yelling at johnreid)

I'm pretty bad at scumhunting Retti so I don't think that would work.

mist says

tatami i love you man but if you talk irl how you post online (wallposts) then i think i see the problem.


I speak pretty similarly-I just try to get my thoughts across and be rational. I'm not like an emotionless zombie even online so I don't really see the problem with how I speak?


something something brevity something something soul of wit.
