>text friend and see what he's doing >hanging out

>>38908169
After hoping for 12 years to finally get in a class where all others are nerds like me, now after a year in it i find myself often hanging out with chads and normies....

What is wrong with us, anon?

>>38908169
You stick behind the friend in a scenario like that. You don't necessarily need to socialize, shadowing just one friend is enough to make you look like you know what you're doing.

Also, don't interrupt people playing Tabletop games, that's fuckin' rude son

>>38908223
I guess it's the same, no matter where you go. You just need to know somebody that's already in it, and if you don't you're just fucked.

No matter where you go, you need social skills. And I guess I just don't have them.

>>38908223
You're a normie, that's what the problem is.

Practical advice for r9k feelers. There's tons of dank youtube videos on this stuff

>nofap
Constant masturbation messes with the dopamine levels in your head making you depressed and not want to do anything. The longer you dont fap/look at porn/think about porn the happier/productive you will be
>Sugar and carbs
These also mess up your dopamine, although not as much as masturbation. They mainly make you tired, sleep longer and brain fog. So switch a no carb diet
>20 minutes hard exercise
Getting your heart rate really high for 10-20 minutes makes your body use up all the chemicals in your brain to do with anxiety. Do this at the start of the day.
those guys were dicks. they saw you as an easy target becuase you would have looked awkward
you wont look so awkward after doing this stuff

>>38908717
I don't drink soda and I rarely ever have sugar from other sources. And I already jog/run every other day a week.

Besides, it's not like I'm gonna see them again. Even if I do, their first impression will be set in stone. I basically can't go back in that store again, ever.

But I get it now. With this and the /b/ meetup thing that happened 2 days ago, I get it. I'm an outcast in every sense of the word. No one will take me in. At least I know what to prepare myself for now.

>>38908777
Having no friends aint so bad
kind of freeing in a way, more time to do other stuff

>>38908854
Yeah, looks like I'll just have to deal with it. I've got a few hundred games to keep me company, and at the moment, all the free time in the world.
I'll convince myself I'm better off alone eventually.

>>38908893
>hundred games
probaably better to do something ontructive so you dont find yourself in a hole
Building some skill that makes you money, or fitness or something

>>38908919
I wouldn't know where to start. What do you do?

>>38908933
I try to make phone apps for money
I work out so i can be better at skiing

>>38908994
I've tried coding before, but it just got overwhelming and I wasn't very good at it.

>>38909016
https://www.codecademy.com/

Fantastic website, interactive, code on the website, takes you through step by step

Do the javascript course. You can use javascript with the Unity engine to make anything


Or maybe you have some other skill that you enjoy and can make money with

>>38909050
I probably do, I'm just in such a bad mood nothing comes to mind right now.

Thanks for the link at least anon, I'll try my hand at it. Maybe I'll get it this time... I hope.

>>38908258
>>38908289
problem is, i see that the social skills of the other nerds are even more weak than mine, and even the chads and normies ask me why i don't hang out with the nerds, after all, i'm as weird as them

>>38908854
>more time to do other stuff
Do you even know where you are?

>>38909203
I think he meant stuff not involving normie stuff. And yeah, I'd agree. Leaving out social time means I can play or watch or do whatever as much as I want. It's not like my applications are getting me a job anytime soon...

>>38908223
>>38908223
nerd groups are actually incredibly judgemental and mean as opposed to normies and that is the sad truth. I always thought they should be accepting towards weird people (they're all weird themselves, right?), but it's more like that they're weird in a particular, very specific way and if you're any other kind of weird, you're fucking done, they won't even look at you. don't waste your time with tabletop gamers, nothing good awaits you there

>>38909050
Thanks for the link, anon

>>38909178
I think it's better I don't have anyone above me as a friend. They can't goad me into doing things I'm clearly not capable of handling.

>>38909228
Today, I learnt as much.

My friend has a whole bunch of Warhammer figures and he's been trying to get me to build my own army but I just haven't been interested. Tonight I thought I'd watch a bit and see what the atmosphere of the game is like. Wow, was it toxic.

And it wasn't even the only thing going on at the event. Another group was watching Rick and Morty and the one next to them was watching an action movie. Got the same cold shoulder at those groups too.

Tonight, I learnt my place.

>walk up to stare at random peoples game without any sense for timing or any knowledge on what they are playing
>"why is that guy just standing there staring at us?" "dunno man just ignore him maybe he will go away"
Find a tabletop game you like, learn about it, see when they are playing that game at the local shop, sign up to play, introduce yourself, have civil conversation with the opposing player and understand they are neckies and will banter
After game you may comment on how your own deck, army, etc worked in the game how it didn't work, ask them for tips on improving on your deck/army etc if they ask then give tips, don't give them tips/info they didn't ask for they are very caring of their favorite decks/armies etc
They have played that deck / army if you see a glaring weakness in it they 95% sure have noticed it themselves but have some nostalgia to that build, just let them keep their Wilson deck and focus on your own deck
Keep going to play the games and eventually you'll become a recognized face there, as long as you aren't a complete asshole they will ease you in as part of the group, do not drag your normies / outsider friends there with you, that is sure way to get yourself shut out
Don't bum their dew, chips, cigarettes etc that's some normie shit to pull, if you like to snack bring your own snacks, do not mess up the place with cheeto dust or spilling drinks, if you spill a drink ask if anyone has anything to clean it with and offer to clean it yourself with a thanks to the guy getting you the paper to clean it with
Good manners go long way, you don't have to brown nose them you just need to be civil, mind your manners and give it time, you can't expect bunch of people who are very secluded to suddenly accept you in even if you're "one of their kind", they all have their own circles and to get in you need to show that you are interested in the same shit they are, you know about the shit you're interested in and aren't a asshole

>>38909317
What do you mean? I wasn't a jerk at all through the night. I even asked if I could watch before I sat down to. I paid for my drink and a snack (they still had the register open). And I tried watching as quietly as I could while still wanting to chat.
And isn't banter for the people you already know? You don't just shit-talk people you just met.

The friend who invited me said everyone was welcome. I took that as an opportunity to learn about the game some more and maybe have some fun. I didn't know I'd feel so alone.

>>38908169
>It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

Nerds, normies chads.. They can all be douches.

>>38908169
>2 normies come up and ask "Who the fuck are you?"
>start comparing me to obscure actors, basically insulting me

Jesus, how do you people manage to run into such nasty fuckwits.

Pro-tip: Never go back.

>>38909515
No idea. One of them was a girl, she looked perpetually annoyed and like the kind of girl that hangs out with the rest of the group just for something to do. The other one was almost nerdy but he had a pretty clean face, no beard or anything and was pretty fit. They both looked like they were going to a concert rather than an all-nighter game event.

One of them basically said I look like "every 90s hipster and nerd stereotype mixed with Sheldon from Big Bang Theory." The other guy said i look like less attractive Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

>>38909583
>unironically watches the big bang theory
i would not let people like that get to you

>>38909396
Well you went there once and you expect the secluded people to pat your back and start chatting with you, they aren't normies they are neckies, takes time to get accepted into any circle among them
Where was the friend who invited you to come with you at? If you got invited by him why didn't he introduce you to the people he already knows?

Just ask to watch, and bear with the awkwardness a bit if you're really interested in the game it shouldn't bother you enough for you to leave
Unless they ask you to leave them alone, then give them privacy

>>38909610
Well, you'd think, right? I wasn't thinking clearly though. That's the first thing I heard out of this event, as soon as I approached my friend talking to these two. He didn't say anything to them and I just told my friend I was gonna go inside. They sorta shrugged and kept talking shit. Friend didn't come in after me except when I was about to leave.

>>38909689
He didn't. Not really. All I knew is that he knew the two fucksticks outside, and maybe one person inside he told me to go talk to.
I don't think I really wanted to get into it at all.

You're right, I was expecting too much. I blew it.

>>38909734
>get invited by normie friend
>"hey man i know (a guy) on the inside, go talk to him he'll hook you up"
Your chances would have been better had you gone in alone, also you're a failed normie

>>38909771
>1% is better than 0%
Well, mathematically you're right.
Failed normie? What?

>>38909228
I actually even tried to become friends with some of them at first, but we all saw that i wasn't one of them.
In the first week i talked to the tomboy girl in the class because we had the same way home. She ingores me now.

>>38909583
>One of them basically said I look like "every 90s hipster and nerd stereotype mixed with Sheldon from Big Bang Theory." The other guy said i look like less attractive Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Fucking hell. I feel for you man, you just wanted to have some fun and instead you end up having a run in with two nasty, pathetic pieces of shit. Hurling insults at a stranger is anti-social and abnormal behaviour. You did absolutely nothing wrong. I would find a different hobby if I was you. Nothing worse than sitting with people who want nothing more than to continually project their imagined sense of superiority onto you.

>>38909266
>toxic
is this bait? you sound like an entitled roastie. do you go to /a/ and go
>uhh hi guys i'm wondering what's a good anime xD i'm new to this! *holds up spork*
either you've already got an interest in anime and thus are able to partake in conversations or you should lurk and absorb the culture and knowledge. instead you went in with the expectation of being spoonfed like a princess and were sorely disappointed. if you don't have a pair of tits that's even more ridiculous, at least then you could have offered something they don't already have.

>>38909881
Because sitting there and just watching COMPLETELY silently would have been a better option.

Fucking hell, dude. I wanted to be out for once, and talk with people for a little. Everyone feels that impulse once in a while. But okay, I guess I can admit when I'm wrong. I shouldn't have gone in the first place.

>>38909918
you should have done some kind of research instead of showing up and expecting to be taught like it's a school or something instead of a social gathering of people who are already interested in things. find a social gathering where people are interested in the things YOU are interested in. unless you have no interests and really are some disgusting vapid roastie.

>>38909957
You're right. I'm sorry I didn't learn more about it.

It's okay, at least I won't make this mistake again.

>>38909881
>or you should lurk and absorb the culture and knowledge.
That's what he tried to do.
>>38909957
>you should have done some kind of research instead of showing up and expecting to be taught like it's a school or something
Researching everything before a social event is autistic. There is absolutely nothing wrong with turning up to find out what it was all about. He did that, and it wasn't for him, so he can move on. That's life.

>>38910027
what he went to was a social event for autists. if you want to blend in among autists you're going to have to do some autistic shit if you aren't naturally inclined to that sort of autism already. but yes, this obviously wasn't meant to be.
>That's what he tried to do.
and no he said he left after 20 minutes when people weren't falling all over themselves to be his friend. obviously he didn't have any actual interest in what was going on he just wanted to make small talk in which case he went to the wrong place.
