A glass of Kronenbourg

Heading to college soon and don't have much friends where I live because I switched schools when I was in middle school. Every day I'm just biding my time, I'm on the computer all day since I have literally nothing to do. It's soul crushing and lonely. It's not even like I don't have friends, they just all live really far away or have gfs and do more with them. I can't wait to get to the hell out of here and have social contact again. I hope I can make some friends, we'll see I guess.

>>39012912
>Here you go. Try to put yourself out there when you get to uni. If you're a disguised normie, you'll make normie friends, if you're a sperg, you'll make some sperg friends. If you take college seriously, you'll feel more confident, and make more friends.

that's the problem, old man. I focused on my classes too much last year and burned my social life as a result. I need to pump the brakes on going so tryhard and live the actual college experience

>>39012992
what's your advice? I was in a club last year and am joining another this year. I do meet people, there just aren't any that I want to be friends with. I am very picky with my friends but I keep em real close. I need to take a shotgun approach but don't know how.

>>39012992
>>39013061
I didn't even really start going on 4chan much less r9k until this summer. i've got friends but we are just really spaced out, some live abroad others live hours away. I've also been on a medication that's been making me more depressive and feelsy but I will be off it in about a month. I have only about 4 friends that I can hang out with where I live and they are always busy or vacationing. I don't have a job and that's a lot of the problem since my friends work.

In a sense though uni is my last chance to make friends since we are all moving on. I don't know how many of my hs friends I can/want to stay in touch with. I don't even know if I'm going to keep living in the U.S after college at this point, but that is years away. I'm not like super desperate to make friends or anything but I really hope I do. The cool thing is me and one of my only friends from where I live are going to the same college! I'm really happy, it's just depressing to sit here and constantly reflect on where I went wrong in life during the past 10 years to screw up so many good friendships.

It sucks to pass old friends and think about how we could have still have had a friendship had it not been for something stupid. We just outgrew each other and it makes me sad. A few of them were shitty people but most I just lost contact with after switching schools. It really feels isolating, I feel like an eccentric rich person who hasn't left the house in decades.

>>39012912
I know this feel all too well. Unfortunately in my case though, when I got to uni I didn't make any friends either. Now going to be a senior (or probably not since I'm changing majors) and the only friend I've made so far from uni is now graduated and working in Japan.

That brings me to my question: how the fuck can I make some friends this year? I changed my major because my old one was pretty worthless, and I need something that'll start a good career. My new major is something I'm more interested in, too, so maybe I'll make friends or even get a gf this time around.

>>39013208
Honestly I never had luck making friends in class. If you can get an internship or a job on campus, those are good ways to make friends. Also roommates if you're lucky enough to have cool ones.

>>39012728
When Jack first started this thread is what made me stay on r9k. I'm new as fuck and missed the 2011-2012 golden years of wall to wall greentext ACTUALLY original threads instead of normie, fag, and fembot threads that are instantly cancer upon discovering them. That's my feel I guess. I read screencaps of events from years ago. No one invited me to the robot party until it was over.

Fireball and coke I guess.

Honestly, just a cup of whatever tea you've got on hand.
I've fallen in love with a stranger - she's around my campus, we have loads of mutual friends, and she's breathtaking beyond words. I haven't felt this sort of infatuation in forever and I'm not sure if I should just wallow in it or even attempt to make anything happen.
It's a bittersweet feeling, falling for someone you've held a single, pseudo-real conversation with. But goddamn, was that conversation a thrill.

Give me a glass of your smoothest whiskey straight and some club soda for a chaser. Its been a long week at work, I'm at a major crossroads and none of my options are appealing,

Would she though? She's most certainly out of my league. Plus, I've only seen her when she comes into the bookstore I work at. She's come in a few times and we've exchanged basic pleasantries, but this last time we talked a little.
I just don't find it appropriate to use the advantage of my place of work as a tool for flirtation. I can't ask her out while I'm on the clock, that's wildly uncool. What if she's just being polite because I'm the only one in charge? What if I make her uncomfortable - get rejected and lose a customer for good? There are too many variables. Do I risk it, or just live in this fantasy?

hit me up with a corona. i don't care for beer but it's the only one i don't really mind drinking.

i started going on sertraline/zoloft (an ssri antidepressant) several weeks ago. i was thinking about an hero too much and not leaving the house much at all. the sudoku thoughts have since declined slightly and i don't get so riled up anymore that i throw shit around my room and think about the best way to end myself. there are side-effects, but i'm glad that i'm now able to interact with people without wanting to die.

this summer i've started lifting weights and working on how i dress. my deadlift is up 90 pounds from in may and i've put on 5 pounds or so of lean muscle, and i get alot of positive feedback now on /fa/ (for what it's worth). when i return to uni i plan to do a full-on blitz on my social habits and to take as many drugs as necessary (alcohol, phenibut, ashwaganda, xanax etc) to facilitate more social interaction.

i'm tired of being a fucking hermit. i hate this damn board and most of the bitter, cynical, vein, and pathetic human beings that inhabit it, and yet i sympathize and console with the struggles of being a man in 2017, 'dealing' with women and getting laid, choosing a vocation, dealing with mental illness and so on... i hope that one day i won't feel the need to be here anymore, but deep down i'm a fucked up fiend like the rest of you and resent myself immensely. no amount of lifting, CBT, reading, REM sleep, 'mindfulness', deep breathing exercises, fish oil, probiotics, SSRIs or any of that other claptrap feels like it will ever help me want to remain on earth. until then i keep lurking.

but i'm gonna try. i owe it to my family and to myself. i'm gonna get a good small friend group and a FUCKING GF this year.

i'll stick around and reply if anyone else wants to post.

and uuuuh... can i vape weed in here or do i need to go outside?

>>39013777
no I haven't! that sounds comfy af. do I need special cider or will "bottom shelf" suffice?

it was a nice start to the day.

She isn't a hoe.
>fucking captcha

Creamy liquor is disgusting. Khalua or Baileys, no need. A hot tottie isn't something sold at most bars, I don't think. Grab any kind of cider you enjoy, add any kind of cinnamon whiskey, and even a stick of cinnamon to make it fancy. Ta-dah, love.

there are lots of bright and hilarious kids who post here, but i feel that our disinclination towards social interaction often produces really toxic results in our personalities. like viewing the entire world as being divided between robots and chads and refusing to interact with the outside world. or the wacky sexual shit you see on here. it's almost impossible to develop into a good person if you don't do well socially, or at least find a niche.

Well of course, there's toxic people all over the place. My point is that we're more than people think we are.

I've run into plenty of dirty shit on this website, particularly this board, since I'm not quite as in deep as most anons and thus tend to disagree with the dominant cynical attitude that permeates it.

On the other hand, I've had better social interactions here than most other websites or even some conversations in real life, like these threads. On the rare occasion the anons chill the fuck out, it works well.

Can't go wrong with adding some sour citrus to any whiskey drink.

Bloody Mary please, I have work in the morning.

My boyfriend of 8 months broke up with me yesterday. He told me that he has depression issues that popped up again which makes him not even leave his house or answer his phone. After a week I had to drag him out and set things straight because after all my frantic texts, once a day he'd say something like "I just don't feel good."

He told me he doesn't know how long he'll be like this, months, and that I deserve someone who won't do what he is. I begged and told him I'll support him but he left.

I'm just heart broken senpai. After years of getting over my first boyfriend this happens? Why? :( I'm not sure if that's just his depression speaking and he'll come back to me some day. He claims he's on meds and seeing a doctor, maybe it'll be soon. Until then I deleted/threw out everything he gave me except one thing: a little zebra plushie he won for me at the fair. I have bad dreams easily and I clutch that thing for dear life until j feel better. I just can't part with it. Should I keep it?

It's been 2 years and I still miss her. She was a cunt, and made my life shit, and none of my friends liked her at all.
But God damn it I'm drunk and no other hole since then has been half as good as her. I've fucked a bunch since then, I've dated nicer girls, I've even abstained from women.
I'm not disillusioned - I know I'm never going to see her again and I know she's probably got another dude and I know, especially, we're never meant to be together but fuck.
I miss her.

I'm the one who pulls the trigger.

To make things short, I've had my fair share of issues and recently I've started to work on them, I've been going to the gym and therapy, trying really hard with him to actually talk and open up about stuff I've never talked to anyone about and listen to what he says
I just don't feel like anythings working no matter how hard I try, I feel like I'm just not meant to be with people but I want something, I want love and I want a family but I just can't seem to make those things function
I don't know what my next step should be and I'm worried I won't have a next step, that I'm trapped where I am

Gin tonic if you'd be so kind.

My dad's been really pushing me to go back to school (21 years young) and not get into the electrical trade. I dont think he understands the sheer amount of money it all is. Carrying just a couple hundred dollars of a level credit balance is stressful enough, but he talks about taking massive loans like it's a romantic thing.

Guess poverty just dulls the wit. All I care about is making money and not having to deal with shitty people too much.

Fireball and Dr. Pepper, Barman.

No major problems I'm not already figuring out on my own, but y'all might like this.

I've known this girl for a while and we have a decent platonic friendship that we're both well-aware I'd like to be something more. I've asked her out a couple times and it never really amounted to much. Last night I said something about it on an anonymous "confession" type place linked to Snapchat. We ended up talking for a bit, and caught up, and then (after the conversation had reached a natural stopping point) I said something along the lines of "So, I really want to make out and grab your ass under the stars but I have no idea how to say that without sounding like a creep". No response.

Today, on the same anonymous confession thing, she sends me this. Coincidentally, I also am probably gonna end up running into her at a party I'm going to.

H-Hey here I am again. The bar closed right about when I came in last time.

Rum & coke please

I don't like myself and I'm a 97 IQ certified autist with no idea what I want in life.
I follow others thinking what they want is what I want, and end up getting hopeful and getting abused by them (usually me being a retard and lending people money they never give me back)

I feel like everyone is living their life, doing what they want or trying to achieve that, and I'm standing on the sideline not knowing what way to go
