I have no friends, my brother went away to school and ive drifted away from all my old homies. Am i destined to die alone and unloved or are there ways for lonely elderly men such as myself to form new friend groups?

I've been struggling with that for a long time now. I have almost no friends. I moved to Seattle and lost all of the friends back home, made new ones out there mostly through work, and then moved back and all of my previous friends were gone. I've tried Meetup.com but the groups are always a ways away from me.

really depends how much effort you want to extend. but yeah, basically, you done. Work is really the only place I meet new people. (Late 30s) ..I've avoided romantic relationships, because of the drama involved, I value my alone time, and it's just so much dang work. There is hope for you yet, though. get into a hobby that requires other people, maybe. what this guy said Colonel Cancer posted:Your ability to make friend atrophies by middle school, you are already alone, unloved and probably dead

Sounds dumb, but your really got to find friends Like join a book club, or rock climbing , or yoga thing Fitness focused is a good one because you can get two(three) birds with one stone , and it's outdoors. poo poo gets harder in your thirties because you have to put effort into it

Somebody once observed that the most ridiculous and unbelievable part of the Bible was that Jesus was 33 and had 12 friends. I think about that a lot.

I've made several friends off of here and even met one of them in rl so like, just value online friendships and if they're nearby meet up and hang out. Tho I've also made friends through my partner and I've had regular friends for years, even if they move away I still post dumb poo poo with them in Snapchat and Facebook groups and occasionally when we're able we hang out. I think partly you just have to either spend more time with friends online or accept that in adulthood those nonstop weekly hangs become more of a rarity unless you've got like, someone in your neighborhood who will swing by often.

Vox has run some great, heart-breaking articles on just how lonely Americans are. Here's a decent one with lots of links: https://www.vox.com/2020/5/11/21245087/america-loneliness-epidemic-coronavirus-pandemic-together Basically, you deserve to have friends and not be alone.

It is rough. Luckily I have a partner and a dog which helps a lot. But moving to Vegas destroyed my social life. I don't like the people here I'm actually planning to move back to either socal, where my parents and sister are and where I went to college, or norcal, where I grew up and still have a bunch of friends. Because I'm not confident in my ability, but more than that my desire, to make new friends so I'm going back to the classic hits

numberoneposter posted:join a run club Do this. Check out a local athletic shoe store or bike shop and they’ll tell you about bike/run clubs you can go to. Basically everyone there is also 30+ and looking to make friends. Pro-move: Offer to buy the first round of drinks when you get back to the bar/brewery you started from (they basically all start/end at breweries/bars) and don’t make a big deal about how much it costs.

if you're in your 30s and your life doesn't revolve around being married or divorced with kids, you need to focus on yourself. embrace loneliness, realize that everyone is alone, that friendship as most of us know it is an illusion. embrace death, embrace the darkness.

the trick is to already have one friend who is very social, then you meet all his new friends and become friends with some of them. if you don't already have that one friend then sorry OP ur doomed

You can buy friends on twitch.tv, OP. Each friend is a $5 monthly subscription. They'll even say your name out loud at least once each month!

Try sucking the poo poo out of some turds in public, people go nuts for that type of poo poo, soon you'll have people asking you for tips and tricks and the best turd sucking techniques over a nice dinner at the Outback Steakhouse.

I didn't intend it going in, but I've been online dating for a while, and now a lot of friends of mine are people I dated where we got along but a romantic relationship wasn't the right fit. When I host a poker game, it's like 50% women I've dated.
