I keep hearing that normies make friends by forming bonds in

>>38366817
common interests, you will bond over that and form conenctions

Reel ppl suck. Go to the trap boards and make alot of friends. Ohhhh wait that doesnt exist irl

>>38366817
You have to go out and do stuff. It's only weird the first time you do it - after that you'll at least have acquaintances and it grows from there. Whatever your interests, there are people meeting somewhere to meet like minded individuals. Keep in mind that everyone is there to meet new people, that's the whole point of clubs and interest groups.

>>38366817
Do something that forces you to be in contact with the same people on a regular basis.

Does the methods in that book actually work? I too am shit at making bonds and would like to improve.

>Does the methods in that book actually work?

Yes, yes it is really good and it works. But it is not really about making friends. Just how to deal with people, resolving conflict. It is worth getting it.

>step 1: be a normie, chad or stacy
>step 2: don't be a robot

That book is the perfect manual of how to be a little bitch 101

No it teaches you that you can't win an argument. We see it all the time in politics. People stuck in echo chambers, making fun of the other side. Not willing or able to see their point of view.

Aka don't speak up and agree with them so you can appear pretentious and nice to people

What is the other option? Making people angry and not gain anything but enemies?

The book will have you looking like a doormat that assumes what people want and uses people's names too much. Personally, I liked Question-Based Selling a lot more because it doesn't try to be a self-help book.

I made a few important friends just by volunteering at a tutoring center as a concrete suggestion.

>Making people angry and not gain anything but enemies?

Yeah because being a little bitch and agreeing with everything what they say is the better option despite the fact that most people aren't that stupid and will call you out for being a phony

Exactly.

>>38368526
Agreed. It teaches you to be a manipulative shithead who changes his opinion/viewpoints/personality in order to bond with other people.
It's a load of shit. I'd rather 'just b myself'. Yeah I can be a bit of an asshole, but it's preferable compared to some fake ass beta like Dale Carnegie.

> But people leave their city, state, country even. And still they manage to form connections and friendships from the start, as adults.
They usually have a job that forces them to interact with others, and even normies can get deepressed and isolated in those situations (even if it's not comparable to incelibacy).

What about people who bond with their neighbors or cashiers who work at a store they visit often? I've lived in the same building for 7 years now and the closest I got is saying "hello" to a few people from the building.

If you visit a restaurant a lot and give big tips, they'll know you by name. If you buy a lot of parts from a certain auto store, they'll know you by name. If you have kids, the neighbors will know you by name.
