I went through a "fake it till you make it" phase once

I like being alone. I find no one interesting anymore enough to approach them, if I did I'd just be pretending to be interested about them. I have no problems socially.

some people find it the other way around which I find weird as fuck. I can't constantly keep a happy face

I much prefer being alone and sometimes with friends

The less people you chill with the less drama.

I do think almost all people enjoy having people that they enjoy and get along with to be around. Focing yourself on people that you don't like is toxic and draining AF. I would rather be alone.

As you get older it's hard to keep friends because you have work, college, children, marriages, family members, etc. You really lose touch. I wouldn't worry too much if you don't have many friends.

I find it difficult to see anyone nowadays.

Normies have symbiotic friendships. As long as keeping a friend raises their social value they will keep the friend and pretend to act nicely towards them. However, if they ever get the chance to exchange the "friend" for something greater, they will take it, for they are not truly friends and feel no loyalty towards eachother.

I have 2 friends that I made in middle school and that's it. I can talk about cool autistic shit with them all the time and they'll have equally interesting content to share with me. We're 25 now, they have jobs in the trades, while I'm struggling to find work in engineering, so I see them a whole lot less nowadays. But at the same time, while I take any opportunity to hang out with them, I still enjoy being by myself too. When I'm alone I get to work on my hobbies, work on improving myself by working out and studying new things, and so on. Even on days like this, just comfy to browse the chins and do nothing at all.

"Fake it till you make it" is arguably even worse advice than "just be yourself". I'd rather have friends with the same autistic interests than a bunch of normies who's idea of fun is to get blackout drunk on a weekend bender downtown only to deal with a 3 day hangover at their deadend job. Granted I haven't found any new friends since middle school, but honestly I'm content with hanging out with them and only them.

I went out for dinner with a friend for the first time in 2 months a couple days ago. I kept putting him off but realized I wouldn't be able to have pleasant interactions with him at school if I didn't respond to his texts. I hate maintaining relationships with people, why don't they understand that I just want to stay home and play video games?

Because that's not how making friends works senpai. If the moment you meet someone you fake your entire character it obviously will be unpleasant, that is precisely why you have to stick to those with whom you're most comfortable. Also, could you tell me more details about what you faked exactly and why?

Why would you even do that? The whole point of a friend is that you get along with them, enjoy their company, and have some shit in common with them. "fake it till you make it" I'd say more applies to job hunting in the sense that you lie about your qualifications and pretend to know things until you make it to a place where you want to be. That doesn't really translate for friends because having friends doesn't get you paid, it just gives you emotional comfort.

>they just have them because they're that afraid of the loner stigma?
That's what I've been thinking since forever
