I want a real best friend way more than a gf

[ØUROBOROS]

I never had a friend that I would call my brother and I probably never will my "friend" group rn consistent of 5 people 1 of them we see like once every 5 months and probably will never talk to us again so we are down to 4 the other one really doesn't like going out much and isn't close to us and the other other one just dislikes ne for some reason so I'm left with one guy that I would consider my friend and that guy is best friends with the guy that dislikes me so I'm basically left with no real friends we don't even talk often like once a week irl and never text and this is the most amount of "friends" That I have ever had. These day I spend all of my time indoors and when I go out I just go to the gym and the people that I talk to the most are you guys.

in a similar predicament

had a friend group of 4 people

one of them moved country few weeks ago and i can’t contact him anymore, the other 2 are just way too normie so it’s hard for me to connect properly

men are supposed to click like gel and just be best friends immediately, i don’t get why it’s so hard to find another dude who’s on my wavelength

A big reason for me not getting friends is that I have really shit social skills because I didn't play with a lot of kids growing up and when I started watching mostly western youtubers and media that basically cut me off from connecting with other kids because I have much to talk about with them and when I was in middle school I got a really crazy amount of acne that led to me kinda being bullied one time someone asked me if I was a burn victim at the bakery so I became quiter and my social skills didn't develop much and I became a bit anxious when talking to new people.

same exact position, nurture pill is truly brutal

unfortunately the only option we really have to solve this is to put ourselves out there. im getting pregab and hopefully meds soon to try fix it. i completely hate going outside because of the experiences i had growing up but there isn’t really a choice.


if you’re still around 16-23 there’s definitely time to improve and catch up to everyone else, cut your current friends off if they aren’t actually providing anything to you and try talk to new people you see frequently
