Reflected on my life, no friends

>>18413198

everyone meets differently. some at classes, some at work, some at events, some just their neighbors, some randos on the bus. most people meet everyone in a bit of a different way which can make making friends a bit of a daunting task cuz its kinda like dating: if you go looking to date you don't generally have much luck.

but events and meetups are pretty solid as they at least have the premise of doing something.

most of my friends I met in different ways.

my best friend I met by asking him out on a date... he worked at yogurt stop, and i thought he was cute. turns out hes straight. so i said we could work together on a project together ( i write, he acts). and somehow three years later were best friends. he calls me for the stupidest shit and i love it. just today he called me just to say 'i had an epiphany, i want to work on more projects!' stupidest thing to call about but im just psyched that someone likes me so much that when they get a strong feeling they need to share it with me.

my other friend I met at a graveyard believe it or not. we went to a screening of nightmare on elmstreet they had at the cemetary. i forgot to bring a towel so asked if i could share his. he said sure. we both clearly loved horror so we hit it off. lots of fun.

my other friend i met through a project. i held casting for 12 roles, and he landed one of em and we just got along. he kept volunteering for more projects so i started writing better roles for him to make up for the shitty favor work he was doing me and along the way friendship just developed. when my dog died he came right over with beer and chinese food last wednesday.

that first friend i mentioned came over too with my favorite cookies.

y 4th friend is actually my boss. i just applied for a job and got hired and now hes like a dad to me. we've even gone to concerts together and its great. theres agap because of age so we dont hang out in the traditional sense but if he just isnt in the office often i love going over and just chilling at his place for afew hours and keeping him company (hes been out a lot lately because of surgeries).

then i have one online friend. we met via 4chan. i posted my phone number YEARS ago when i was drunk asking someone to tell me a story to help me fall asleep. he'd call me every week or so and just talk til i passed out. Three years later he asked me to be a groomsman at his wedding and i went. it was so weird but so cool. his wife was really cool about it. hes been calling me more since my dog died cuz i get a little lonely at night without her. right now were writing a horror movie together. its going great.

point im making here is that friends tend to all develop uniquely , and doing something that is supposed to be condusive to friendship doesn't always work out well. friends are more about how you match rather than how you meet. real friends are the kidn of people you could completely forget with some memory erasing machine, then meet agian the next day and just instantly be friends again. there is osmething intrinsic about our chemistry, kinda the opposite of romance which is baout hitting the right notes at the right time, and different from family which is just the luck of a draw.

considering how weird meeting all 5 of these people might've been i honestly believe I could have all my memories taken tomorrow and if i happened to bump into them by chance, we'd hit it off just the same.

i dont believe they will last forever, nothing gold can stay. but im enjoying them as much as I can while I can.

get a hobby. I've made a lot of my closest friends by attending local card/video game tournaments around the city.

Work too, always nice to get a few drinks with your coworkers after a long day.

i dont know if thats a good or bad thing, I havent seen any of his movies.

Go to a local party nearby. Be social, impress people, and do somethimg cool, and you'll be fine OP

Better yet, plan a party. Bring the people to you. After you hide all of your valuables. You're 25, and I'm guessing your mom's divorced, so she might want some fellowship with a young man. Tell your mom the plan and coordinate OP. No need to hide.

Don't focus on people. Focus on what you love doing, what you enjoy, what makes you feel good. Do that and you will meet some great friends. Also don't be a fag unless you are one.
