  • Making new friends is tough.
     OP - March 09, 2010, 04:07 AM
    This sucks balls. I lost almost all of my non-muslim friends, lost pretty much all of my Muslim "friends" and now I'm trying my best to meet new people but they are just so fucking rude. I mean for some reason they just don't like me and want me around them, and while the Muslims I knew were not really "friends" atleast i could go to them if I had a problem, even if their advice was crappy. They would invite me to places and I will admit it made me feel like I have a sense of belonging. But trying to make new friends all over is fucking difficult. I know this post is retarded, but how did you guys do it? I mean I talk to new people every day but its just not working Cry

    You gotta get involved in things. Take classes in whatever interests you or whatever would help your career. Drama classes are usually quite a bonding experience. Join a gym and take the classes. Learn to skate, Join a bowling league. Join a club, Learn to ride a motorcycle. Take up sailing. hunting. Whatever. Just get out and do stuff that other people do and you'll meet people.

    I think the solution is not to care about making friends. People don't like being around individuals who seem needy or emotional.

    I found a guy I like to shag and captured him, and now I don't really care about friends because I'm too busy getting laid. He has plenty of friends I can steal if I need to, though.

    Ha! You wanna hear some funny shit? A few months ago after an organizing campaign I was out drinking with the new union members at a victory party. I was saying some shit and banging my fist on the table and one of my new union sisters says "Conan! What is good in life?" I say "What?". She repeats, "I said, Conan, what is good in life?". I say "I don't fuckin know" and she quotes Conan's answer from the clip you posted above. Yeah, I never seen the movie, so fuckin sue me.

    Friendship is always nice. But seriously, things change in life. I used to have lots of friends back in Calgary. But after I apostate, graduated and moved out for work friends slowly drifted apart. Now aside from online contact I can't say I have many friends. Mostly just aquaintances. And I don't mind it a bit. I tend to base my life around specific goals and keep myself busy with hobbies and other.. 'interests' to really bother about having any 'real' friends. And frankly, in the modern era, your average young person can do a lot of moving around for jobs and what not and temporal aquaintances are more the norm than real true friends.

    And the worst thing you can do is "look" for friends. That gives off needy vibes and is reflective of the attitude of a follower. That means you will naturally not attract much friendship if other guys sense you are weak or emotionally fragile. Being a douchebag works with both women and general friends because it tends to put up a flag that says "i'm my own person, suck my cock" and that tends to win people over. I think..

    Actually.. just ignore everything I said. I'm a terrible life advisor.

    I feel almost the same. After I left Islam, almost all of my friends are gone. and the reason why I am here on this site a lot (at times) is because this is like my escapism, I know I am fucking corny laugh it up. But I have many acquaintances but I can tell by talking to people that they don't like me, and I try to be cool and collected. I often try to just work hard in school and do some other personal hobbies, and by personal hobbies I don't mean masturbating Cheesy

    How can you tell by talking to people that they don't like you? Sometimes we often paint our own paranoias and insecurities onto others. I highly doubt people would just not like you for no reason.

    Friends are overrated. I tend to ditch people the minute I don't have to see them everyday. High school friends, university friends, former jobs' friends. I don't hear of them anymore, nor am I interested in getting in touch. I currently hang out with my coworkers of two years but I know that if I quit, I won't see them again (unless by chance).

    I think making new friends is alot harder as you get older, but you're not older yet so it's different.  Tongue

    I'm also with naerys on this one, friends are overrated.  If it wasn't for the fact that I need at least one party animal friend to ensure there is someone to party with, I would have no friends.  I like it that way, I do better in life that way too.

    People come with expectations, plus I have my own expectations, so far better to steer clear of people anyway.

    I have 2 really close female friends, that's my limit. Both are glorious let downs in their own way, seriously wonder why I bother sometimes.

    Fuck friends.  Cheesy

    It's probably because you are Canadian - ask Iblis.

    But seriously, making friends is easy - invite people over for a drink, spike their drinks, lock them in your dungeon, do with them as you please. Friends.

    No really - try hanging out with people that share your interests and just be yourself. You do want friends that like you for who you really are. You do come across as a pretty cool guy tbh therefore you should be fine.
