there's an epidemic of lonely men like us who have little to no friends in their mid twenties to mid fourties.

earlier this year i even reached out to my old high school buddies i havent spoken to in 5+ years. we met up, had coffee, really fun chat. then after that they never struck up conversation on whatsapp or discord. I tried to chat a few times but they're just busy/not interested. maybe I'm just too much of a miserable loser to endure

I'm mid twenties and I just stopped wanting to hangout with my friends because they go on these trips and I never get invited, and the only time I'm around is when I hit them up. Also just poor friends in general, though I play wow with a couple of them lately and it's a good time. I don't mind anymore desu I'll find new friends and I'll /makeit/ too. It's important to remember people come and go at all stages of life, just keep moving and meeting people and living in the moment.

Turn that to your advantage. Find a group of friends that allign to your interests/goals in life.

I didn't have friends from 2013-2019. Didn't call/text anyone besides relatives, dentist, utility companies, pizza company. I was a quintessential NEET.

In 2020, I took advantage of the lockdowns to find people in an industry I was interested in. Now we're starting a few projects together in that field, and if things go as planned, I'll be retired very shortly.

We're taking advantage of the SPAC trend to leverage up a portfolio of real estate, that ultimately we will collect fees on. Interest has been huge, but we're still working out the deals with our lawyers.

that's the way it's been for every generation of white men. if you're not a degenerate (drunk, philanderer, usurer, thief etc) you get deeper into your self and family and only keep maintenance contact with the people who affect your life. historically that was other local families with whom you traded or did business, and the social rituals that you undertook with them were a tool to maintain bonds, assure collective safety and wealth, keep women happy, and propagate life skills through example to younger generations.

friendship in the modern sense is perverse and degenerate and antithetical to above because propagandists from all over the world define the parameters of your social situation and much of the collective social value that you create is funneled into politicized min/max algorithms managed by datacenters instead of, say, quaint town squares built by the craftsmen of a region solely for their collective benefit

I don't know what you people expect out of life. When I was young my fantasy was never having a lot of friends.

Bullshit. White men used to go out for drinks with their friends all the time and white women would hold social events with other women in the community. You didn't necessarily keep up with friends from high school but there was a 90% chance the friends you made in childhood would be your friends until you died. The modern world pushes people apart. Spending 5 hours with your buddy getting drunk and playing video games jamming out all night on a weekend slowly turns into spending an hour with him at a bar.

Yeah I tried to quit 4chan several times and I just end up using various obscure forums or comment sections of blogs/portals and eventually come back. It's not that I lack friendship, I have a few really close friends.
It's just that nothing really beats the freedom and meritocracy of anonymous imageboard posting where everything withers out eventually. Even the most memorable screencapped posts will be forgotten. But all that matters is what you hold in your memory and your heart. And despite it maybe sounding cringe, 4chan is very dear to me. And how could it not be, when it's already my 10th year on here, a decade of enganging with frens I would not trade for anything else in this world.

In our spare time we're doing things with family, working on the house or doing other chores. Frankly I wouldn't want it any other way.

Yesterday spent some time with a guy who already has two kids to separate women, just had a third to another and he was already talking about leaving her, getting a new "bachelor pad" and getting on the piss with his mates.

You’re bang-on with contemporary friendship and the family firms you’re describing did exist, but they were anomalies on an historical scale - people imitate the model now (Indian immigrants often lead very business-driven lives, for example) because it can generate enormous wealth, but for most of human history almost everyone has dedicated the majority of their free time to leisure activities - that wasn’t something we got handed by the industrial revolution. People have always liked to drink, dance, participate in religious festivals, etc. The success of the English model was predicated upon creating situations of artificial dependency on the family firm - through, for example, the enclosure movement, which cut off access to resources held in common by privatizing them. When you take that away, people are usually far more concerned with leisure and activities which influence social status. There are gradients to levels of productivity across and within populations, but nothing even comes close to the alienation introduced by the English model.

Give yourself a break fren.

Maybe we're all here because we like it, and it isn't actually that bad and escaping clown world is preferable. It's no different to kids who spend a lot of time playing fortnight or minecraft, sure too much of it isn't healthy, but they do enjoy it. NEETs spending 8 hours a day here are going to have a problems, but excess of most things isn't healthy. Try and cut down, but why should you totally eliminate things you enjoy altogether?

You unironically choose one of the best, funniest and highest IQ boards on the entire site. Don't worry man, even if you got friends, a wife, a good job, you'll come back; they always coom back

Im suicidal and cry everyday. I wish my friends would talk to me and ask me how I am and actually care. I hope one of my coins makes it because after my mom dies, I won't have a reason to wake up in the morning.

You need a killer dose of DMT or Ayahuasca. It'll give you a path outside

Look at this graph. I think the most common cause of loneliness here is because we expect life to be a social as before college, while also not moving in a right direction career and relationship wise. Because most of us are neets or incels.

I think it's essential to living a good life to grow up after college and to build a fulfilling career. You will need it because it will become your new social playground, like the one you used to have in school. The place where your peers hang out.

Ha! I'm going to make it and then BUY my own friends! With girls, and alcohol! In fact, forget the friends.
