Friendships don't actually exist

[disillusioned]

What are friendships, really? Willingness to share video games or watch some bullshit on TV? To get drunk together?

Face it. People just hang out with others as part of the social contract or to build connections. Nobody really gives a shit about other people.

friendship, a state of enduring affection, esteem, intimacy, and trust between two people. In all cultures, friendships are important relationships throughout a person’s life span.

Friendship is generally characterized by five defining features:

• 1. It is a dyadic relationship, meaning that it involves a series of interactions between two individuals known to each other.
• 2. It is recognized by both members of the relationship and is characterized by a bond or tie of reciprocated affection.
• 3. It is not obligatory; two individuals choose to form a friendship with each other. In Western societies, friendships are one of the least prescribed close relationships, with no formal duties or legal obligations to one another.
• 4. It is typically egalitarian in nature. Unlike parent-child relationships, for instance, each individual in a friendship has about the same amount of power or authority in the relationship.
• 5. It is almost always characterized by companionship and shared activities. In fact, one of the primary goals and motivations of friendship is companionship. In addition, adolescent and adult friendships often perform other functions, such as serving as sources of emotional support and providing opportunities for self-disclosure and intimacy.

Keep coping.

Past the age of 25 then yes, everything is based on utility (what value can they get out of you)

Before 25 especially teen years, you do have genuine friends who care.

When you're young, it's all about looks and status.

The transaction is still present.

Yes, that’s what friendship’s are. It’s about connection. It’s about giving and getting, washing each other’s hands, helping each other

I prefer to limit my interactions to tangible, productive subjects. STEM, bits of history, et cetera...critical thinking rather than shortsighted chats.

What is this Incel cope. A lot of y’all never grew up with friends and it shows.

As kids, friendship does exist, but as you get older, there is a hierarchy for respect in friend groups.
Usually the hierarchy is established based on appearance, not from best to least good looking but from most intimidating to least intimidating, both in appearance (muscles) and behaviour.

Outside of friend groups however, for one on one, true friendships do exist but are rare. You need common interests and mutual respect.

Yeah basic human function doesn't exist
It's not like we're social creatures or anything

Do you have any idea how many 'basic laws of human nature' have been artificially created by bluepill culture and brainwashing?

According to normies, 'love' (doesn't exist) is also a basic human need.

If you genuinely believe this its obvious you have no friends.

Male friendships are all about shared experiences, past college its hard to get those (no, being collegues at work doesnt count)

 

[Deleted member 18436]

Friendship is stemmed from what can you do for me. Hopefully in return it's mutual you each get value from the other. Not sure if it makes it selfish. In my spergy brain if i am someone's friend i am with them through thick and thin. Would they do that for me ? Only one way to find it. Artificially create circumstances that calls upon the other person for you to rely on them. If they bail then you know the strength of the relationship.

Also consider that people weigh up what they can get from you so even if they help you in those fake scenarios they are still looking for a bigger pay off.

 

[Deleted member 16110]

idk ab guys but it seems like girls have genuine friends

 

[disillusioned]

[Mastermind]

Friendships are more about shared hobbies, interests and agreeable behavior than actually being useful to your friends.

I know of people my same age who never contributed to anything, provided zero added value to other lives, but spent theirs surrounded by peers most of the time.
I dedicated much of my childhood helping others with my prodigy IT skills but no one ever felt nostalgic or thankful to me.

I was that scrawny, nerdy kid with a recessed mandible and a touchy temper.
I'm fairly sure that's reason why.

past a certain level of genetic similarity, friendship can be 100% legit and not transactional
