Making friends is hard in 2024

its not entitled to want friends. this can be a good place to meet people to talk to. online at least. lucky if they live nearby. welcome to SW :)

Even worse is when you make your friends hard 😐

Society has become superficial and real friends in made of bones, skin, blood and a few other important and useful body parts have progressively lost their importance.

Today, friends are made of binary codes, of 0s and 1s and you find those "friends" on social media. They are only available when you turn your smartphone or PC on and disappear as soon as you turn it off again. Those are the more convenient friends because they don't have to listen to your problems, they don't hold you when you need them, they don't look into your eyes and smile when you need emotional support.

Those "friends" are created by social media. They go as quickly as they came. It does not take 9 months of hard labor to create one, it does not need a lifetime of dedication to know them and to be able to trust them.

Yes, finding those true friends you can rely on when you need them have become a dying species, even though the world population has hit the 8 billion mark now...

Your methods are old school. People have no leisure time as they used to. As the current generation we are facing the worst of divide and rule policy of the past, and we are bearing the fruit now. Each one of us have developed inhibitions in meeting people in public. Most are too sensitive these days and just don't tolerate a bit of overture from any stranger. The text messaging world has also narrowed people's mind from conversations. Everyone expect things to happen fast.

So only sites like these can help in making friends as you can develop an online relationship. And most females expect the males to come forward and approach. But that world is gone. So you too need to initiate conversations.

I completely agree. It seems like noone excepts anyone else for who they are anymore so its draining trying to figure out who is chil

That's exactly how I feel. I don't know if this is just the nature of adult life sadly. Martial arts classes have been good for that but it's only for an hour.

People in my work are nice but it doesn't leave the building if you get me and I don't have much in common. Tbh my hobbies atm are kicking people, watching Crunchyroll and videogames so 🤷😂

Same here. The only person I’d consider a friend that I met in the last 2 years was by happenstance. We both enjoyed playing the same online game in the same clan together and naturally a friendship blossomed that spilled into rl.

I felt this way for so long until get this - I joined the furry community and now my needs are starting to get met. Not saying become a furry, just know that you might you might belong in a smaller, more niche crowd.

You're being too entitled 😡

If you are lonely or don't have friends it is because you are not generating enough value for others. That's all it means and nothing more or less.

It's nice to have friends to talk to and do things with

It's cool that you like anime, any you particularly like from the last few seasons?

Why do you find it so hard you don’t look a bad looking person. I’m sure you will make friends

We are very busy in this harsh times when we struggle to keep living with harsh schedules. It's like we're slaves. Also covid started it...

Do you have kids?

Dunno. Still trying to fingure out how the used up ones run outa swoop and what used em up.

What is entitled about that? Seems fine to me.

That’s been difficult since 1978 as far as I recall 🤷‍♂️

I tried friending you on here 👋
