It is easy to make online friends, but genuine connection is the difficult part

It is easy to make online friends, but genuine connection is the difficult part.

Do your best, bocchi
You'll make irl friends soon

I don't think I've ever had a genuine connection with anyone in my life
I wish I could clone myself and be my own friend, then I could finally play all the multiplayer video games I never got to play with anyone else with someone who actually likes them and doesn't quit after losing one time

online

genuine connection

Get the fuck out of your house OP.

implying genuine connections happen irl

this is the autism thread
please stop spouting falsehoods

This is an easy conundrum to solve. Just probe your online friends to see if any of them live within driving distance, and offer to meet up irl.

Then, forge a genuine connection with them irl.

Worked for me. t. in a 5 year relationship with someone who started as an online friend

the worst part about being a loser is that your only options for friends are other losers, however, losers are incredibly selfish and disloyal people

are you gay

It's a good thing being aware of it tho.

i had way worse experiences with normalfags tbf, but yeah this is mental illness central and you end up with enablers for self destruction

I've met a few people loosely via Anon Babble. They were all surprisingly normal. The anime meet up through Meetup was nothing but faggots, trannies, and other LGBT obnoxious niggers.

I only ever seem to attract chuds and hags. It's a blessing and a curse.

no. something worse
public meetups are always full of annoying normies whether they're lgbt or not. that's why you're supposed limit it to online contacts that you're already acquainted with

I wish I could clone myself and be my own friend, then I could finally play all the multiplayer video games I never got to play

That's really stupid, considering you can just play single player games. People who play Baldur's Gate 3 don't even need friends, because the game gives you multiple characters. If you hate other people so much, then stop playing mutiplayer.

I don't hate other people, just like 99% of them
I'm desperately lonely and all I want is a dedicated vidya friend I can autism with without worrying about being ostracized

But I'd don't know the Anon Babble people, I just knew they browsed Anon Babble before I met them. As much as people want to say this is a cesspit of mental illness and deranged schizos, I've found the complete opposite. Anons are the only people I can immediately get along with.

I'm desperately lonely

I can't help you, because I don't even know what feels like. You're talking to someone who sat by themselves in school. If you're desperate for friends, then try Anon Babble instead of Anon Babble. I've spent time on Anon Babble and there's far less normalfags on that board.

you've already lost me.

I'm an autist, not a schizoid

What do you normally get ostracized for?
Are you looking for a friend a lover?

I forgot to add: I believe Anon Babble fosters a sense of self awareness that other websites don't, because they're echo chambers. In my opinion, the Anon Babble environment unironically makes people more normal.

*or lover

I can't be comfortable around anyone but other Anon Babble posters

Right, and I think the difference between us is that you're alone because people don't like you, whereas I'm alone because I want to be. I had lots of friends in life, but I actually prefer to be alone. That's why when someone said

I wish I could clone myself :)

I wondered "what the fuck is he talking about". If I was cloned, it would be two people sitting in silence. What would be the point of that? I don't even want another of myself.
I sit in silence and thought all day, and it's my preferred situation. Another person would just interrupt that. This game I'm playing can't even be played by two people.

I do drugs so I can stop being harassed by my own incessant thoughts and compulsions (I also have really bad OCD)

I remember hanging out in vent with the same small group of online friends in the vanilla and burning crusade era of WoW, nothing will be like that ever again. And that's a good thing.

It seems like I was right in my assessment. You didn't choose to be the way you are, but it won't stop people fearing you for being different. That's what being a normalfag is; they can't help but hate you because you're not like them. It's like nature trying to destroy you because you're not meant to exist. I'm not meant to exist either, because I'm not sure what the point of a hermit is.

My friends list is made up only of people I know in real life with maybe an exception or two of guys I have played video games with for the past 15 years.
Every time someone adds me I end up deleting them the next day.

I have to assume that people like me (schizoids) survive because they avoided everyone, and that's the evolutionary advantage of being a loner. If I don't live in the town, and the town is attacked, do I not survive? I outlasted everyone who used to be on this website, so there's definitely something good about my personality type.

I think this is a selection bias thing. The only Anons who would want to go to a meetup are relatively normal ones, but on the other hand, Meetup has the opposite problem, it has the dating app problem where the only people who need to resort to a dedicated meetup platform are people who are insufferable to meet up with.
You're mostly mostly right about this but I'd disagree with the end. Anons ARE more self-aware compared to other websites. But I don't think they're more normal. Actually I'd argue this makes them less normal. Normies don't have a single shred of self-awareness in their psyche. They're like walking flesh golems who are totally incapable of reflecting on their own thoughts and actions. That's why they fit in more in echo chambers.

I've been trying to trade my knowledge of how to become a sizable enough youtuber in the vidya game space to live comfortably as a NEET for years and no one's ever taken me up on my offer or meets my criteria.

I'm looking for gaming bros to troll video games with. Pic related. I can cure your inceldom and give you keys to be a youtuber neet. All I ask is friendship. White straight American naturally born 18-49 year old Men only who don't smoke/drink/do drugs or have tatts and only if you make under 35k a year and never went to college allowed.

Answer some questions first:

1) What video games do you play or want to play?
2) Do you already have people to play video games with?
3) Do you like trolling in video games?
4) How much do you make per year and what is your job?
5) Ever been to college, or want to go to college?
6) Do you tryhard in video games?
7) Are you part of any gaming clans or guilds?
8) Do you smoke, do drugs, drink, or have tattoos?

On the other side of the spectrum, there's "Aw yeah I made some online friends for relaxing and talking about games with" turning into anon either trauma dumping or getting too clingy

Thanks for this cringe, but you'll never have anyone comply because you've turned friendship into a job interview. Why would anyone answer your questions?

That didn't really answer my second question though.
Are you looking for a fren or a lover?
Do you wanna chat using steam or discord?
Do you wanna chat or game more?

Genuine connection is not possible online because you present a curated image yourself to people who are also presenting curated images of themselves. Go outside and make real friends.

this is pretty funny

I mean if they want an easy way to get pussy or become a youtuber then why wouldn't they?

If this opportunity presented itself in my earlier years I'd have jumped at it.

The questions are necessary as I don't want to have my time wasted, or waste someone elses time, trying to make a friendship that won't work long-term.

if they want an easy way to get pussy or become a youtuber then why wouldn't they?

If you didn't have autism, you'd understand that nobody in this thread wants either of these things. You're better off looking in dedicated blogposting threads that happen on Anon Babble all the time. Do you know what I'm talking about? The ones that start with

PLAYAN

DRINKIN

WATCHAN

and so on. Those people love talking about themselves, but I've never posted in them one time.

Hey, I too am schizoid and go out of my way to be alone even though ai have friends.
I also have friends I haven’t seen in 10+ years.

Are you happy? My life is fine, even if it's just waking up and sitting at my computer. This is basically the life I wanted.

What do you consider a genuine connection?

Hey let's be friends :)

You sound pathetic. People don't like pathetic people. People like competent people. Societies are a living organism and try to evolve by isolating pathetic people so that they rot alone. Don't be pathetic.

I guess the wagie NPC's are too happy being goyim for shecklestein and not having any free time to vidya game all day.

Yeah. Now I kinda am forced to socially interact every day because I got a 9-to-5 job that expects me to do shit, but I would do just fine keeping to myself. There’s the occasional moment where the regret rolls in but that is just how I have always been.

video game board?

You're definitely a schizoid. A schizoid can get along with people fine, and others even like them, but they just like being alone. Nobody has to pretend when they're alone, and that's why it's comfortable.

Psychology is completely made up by people who think the slightest deviation from extroverted normalfag constitutes mental illness.

I've never loved anyone...

I'm not sure if I agree with you. If I look up "schizoid" online, then it describes me really well. Maybe psychology is just a study of human behaviour, and the potential causes of how people form different personalities.

I want to connect my cock to your boipucci

Because it's described as a "disorder", everything deviating from 100 IQ absolute normalfag extroverts is considered a disorder. The description may be accurate, but psychologists offer precisely zero rationale for why it's classified as a disorder of the mind, especially when such diagnoses go on to clarify that schizoids are perfectly functional in society, even if they don't like it very much.

In any case, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone on this site that doesn't fit that description.

you'd be hard pressed to find anyone on this site that doesn't fit that description.

If that's true, then why don't I like anyone on the website? There are people who talk about their girlfriends, wives, kids, and I've never had a female friend. Are you saying I'm the same as those people? We have nothing in common.
If everyone on the site was the same, then everyone would be friends. I'd really like to hear your explanation for why they're not.

Schizoids have no reason to like each other just because they have similarities.

I've met people that I liked, and it just wasn't anyone on this website. I like smart people, and moral people, and there aren't any here. The truth is that this site is mostly normalfags. Please go speak to them instead of me. I don't even have a second thread open.

If you didn't like the people here at least a little, you wouldn't be posting.

I like the people like me, and there's very few of them. You are not one of them. You're replying to me because I'm a lot smarter than you, but I won't speak to you. Go post in another thread now. The rest of the board is missing for me.

You replied to me first you retard.

Try to find your post, and keep in mind the rest of the board was auto filtered. My other tab is the front page.

that one friend online you have fun playing games with but he's trying to get closer than you'd like

It is easy to make online friends

Literally fucking impossible. I haven’t managed to make an online friend since the Xbox 360 days

Fucking kill me. I need more bocchi in my life
