Using my taste in music to make friends

Bumping.

Would really appreciate some help.

You could go to shows and start talking to people. Alcohol and band shirts help with ice breaking. In theory. I'm speculating.

I don't drink at shows because I'm my own ride home, but shirts do seem to help. I've had people initiate conversation based on the shirt I was wearing but I can't ever adequately project my voice in large venues so conversation is hard.

In all likelihood, it won't help much. You can use that taste to make people respect your opinion on music, or help bond to someone with similar interests, but eclectic taste alone won't carry you. I mean, when you meet someone really involved in computers or another niche hobby, do you want to become immediate friends with them?

I don't have any friends myself, but I have learned that personality and "vibe" matters a lot more than interests. If you can develop your social skills until you're a really pleasant person to be around, friends should gravitate towards you.

I see your point.

I agree, actually. I created this thread after countless times being told that the key to making friends is being "interesting."

I didn't know exactly what "interesting" meant, but I assumed eclectic hobbies and tastes would at least help. I suppose not, though. Oh well.

I met all my friends by going to shows. They all turned out to be shitty and I completely cut them off after a decade and now just have no friends. It's so much easier that way. Family and lovers are what's important

But my family is really just my mom and a sister I can't connect or interact with and I have no lover.

Being interesting usually means being extoverted and engaging people via crazy hand gestures and rapid facial movements, could be talking about a sitcom or steve aoki

>>71478459
By being "interesting", I think they meant being entertaining to other people. You might have the ability to rattle off 50 good albums in some obscure subgenre, but a very small percent of people in the world would care to listen. A good exercise would be to keep a lookout for people you like, figuring out the traits that make them likable, and then being a bit more like that.

talk louder then?

I'll be your friend unty

How would we be friends, though?
