Maybe I'm overgeneralizing you guys, but how come you complain about being so lonely, but never initiate anything? Or even seem to try?
If you're reading this J, talk to me on steam.

because he has social anxiety. impossible for normies to understand i know

So I should leave him in his apartment to do nothing? When he's not in his bubble hes a cool guy, and I don't find myself intimidating in the least.

he doesnt wanna go outside he doesnt feel comfortable at all and he wont "snap out of his bubble" suddenly if he joins you at a party
he has mental issues and he has to work it out himself or get help from a pro
>So I should leave him in his apartment to do nothing?
i dont know you or the guy u r talking about but yea probably. he obviously doesnt wanna go outside so stop pressuring him he prolly feels awful for that movie or whatever john wick is i dont pay attention to normie shit he didnt join
just talk to him sometimes on steam and be nice, dont invite him to [normie gathering] he will hate it

So is that the cycle here?
I'm going to come off rude but its like you people want friends, don't try, complain about loneliness, and then get upset when people move on.
>>35157158
Is that really all I can do? I don't think of my friends as being too normie, we're all nerds.
It just seems like a sad life to supply yourself materialistically by playing videogames and watching anime, but not wanting to build relationships with people. Though I'm one for loose interpretation of life, this just seems wrong.
>>35156769
No, we want to be different people.
We want to be the type of man that can be genuinely respected and/or loved, we don't want pity.
>>35157317
Wow, you really don't understand what social anxiety is like do you?
ITT: normie who doesn't know what social anxiety is visits /r9k/ for the first time
>>35156769
>Do you peeps actually want friends?
FUCK no. I think my only actual friend in the world is my dad, and I like it that way. I think we keep each other from suicidal loneliness.
