I'm a fairly attractive, charismatic, and sociable guy in my mid-20's blah blah blah... The point is when it's all said and done, I look at "neckbeards" and the typically describable "weird" both on this site and elsewhere and I'm super jealous. They all have, like, real actual friends.

That's something I totally lack. I have zero friends outside of work. I never talk to any of my work friends outside of work. I drive by awkward little groups of people with furry caps on or tails hanging from their belt loop and I get really envious. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on social interaction, yet those guys and gals still have a larger social network than me.

I don't know if this is the right place to put this. I never post. Though I've lurked on and off for about 10 years. Feel free to openly mock me.

It's really easy to make friends with those people, OP. Just never say anything mean to them or criticize them or gossip about people because they're huge babies about doing fun stuff like that.

Why do you want friends, why not just one friend. I personally have gotten more out of 1on1 interactions, occasionally 3 people.

Seriously would take one friend. I have my brother, who is awesome and cool. But is autistic and not great at empathy. Also lives an hour away.

Just walk up to people you think are cool and assume you relate to them in some way, its not hard unless everyone around you is a total nob

Im actually terrible, or uninterested in making new friends, never meet anyone i see eye to eye with, but im good at talking to strangers. Its easy. Strangers are up for almost any conversation if you do it right

The trick is to tell them something, dont ask them something, dont put em on the spot. Not talking about picking up chicks , just shooting the poo poo on the street and/or being the crazy guy.

Nothing better than sharing some random laugh with a stranger and walking off and not seeing them again.

No, like, I totally have that poo poo down. I'm not socially introverted or anything. It's the "phone a friend on a Friday night to see if he wants to grab a drink" type of friendship that I don't have. I'm lacking that tight circle of friends that I feel is really sorta common with everyone I see/meet.

Yea im just saying stuff. Good luck, i have no idea about that, youll figure it out. Just be a cool guy thats down for hanging out. This is making me think of that onion article "area man is somehow bad at hanging out". That isn't you is it?? (Was this meant to be an advice thread? I dont even know)
