Coward

people that fake offline or dnd 24/7 are the biggest narcissists i know

I've been invisible for 550 days now.
I've forgotten how to talk to people in real time online.

same no one gives a shit what I do and I love it

why are you trying to win medals in the meaningless number go up olympics

set profile to offline

get a message

"Anon I know you're there."

Sorry fren. I'm not feeling social right now.

I just want to do my own thing and don't want people bothering me. I can also reply to messages whenever I want without friends assuming that I'm ignoring them. There is literally no benefit whatsoever to appearing online.

get on my level, plebs

get gaben to put a limit on game launch notifications if you want me to stop going offline

I never bother with the steam community stuff by why does the invisible toggle piss off some anons?

i do that so people stop seeing me constantly launch a game because I'm modding it

youtube.com/watch?v=jlYWg0u_D9k

They're clingy autists. Learned this the hard way like ten years ago when I added someone from here to play Sonic Racing.

attention whore

people actually leave on game joining notifs?

it's fun

invisible

You did not complete the game.

That's the white people status.

The people I'm obsessed with must be self-obseased

Imagine being forced to bother strangers in order to socialize, but those strangers aren't as retarded as you and choose to not share their online status that lets you know you can bother them

NOOOO I HAVE TO KNOW YOU'RE ONLINE AND PLAYING THIS GAME

Ummm.... Stalker much????

I click Offline instead.

my homie said he was going to japan for a week and a few weeks later I said "how was the trip" and he said "i didn't go" - he appeared offline the entire time tho, kek

just turn them off

t. narcissist

A friend group I left have been stalking me for 6 years, how do I escape

Actually the meta is now privating games before you boot them.

implying I have friends

abandon all your social accounts

couldn't be me

[In Game: Otoko Cross: Pretty Boys Klondike Solitaire]

Exist only as a category

YOU'RE OBSESSED WITH ME! PERSONALLY!

Yes, you are self obsessed

go live in the woods

EVERYONE CARES ABOUT ME I NEED TO BE ON DO NOT DISTURB MY LIFE IS EXTRMEELY IMPORTANT YOU MUST SEE THIS

the most unstable, drama-ridden people i know do this

you know when someone blocks you, they appear offline right? lmao. the people who seethe about this shit are always annoying sperg faggots with no social skills who can't take a hint. you're getting continuously blocked for being an obnoxious faggot.

waah waaah waah pay attention to meeee be available to meee noooo :(

be online in Steam all day long

not idle or away, actively using my computer all day just not playing games

zero people message me all day long while I'm online and free to chat with people

decide to start up some immersive story-driven single player game that needs my full rapt attention

the very SECOND that it loads...

Random Friend A: Hey!

Random Friend B: What's up, you busy?

Random Friend C invited you to [completely different game]

Random Friend D invited you to [game you haven't played in 2 years]

Random Friend E: Yo, check out this link!

Random Friend C: You see my invite? You gonna join???

It's fucking infuriating, honestly. It doesn't matter when I start up a game, no matter the time of day or night this is what happens without fail. No one thinks to message me or invite me to games until they see a pop-up that literally explicitly tells them I'm busy playing a single player game.

walk into social gathering wearing a sign that says DO NOT DISTURB ME

people think you're an aspie attention whore

wow shocker

Caring about the online status of someone else

Woman moment

Steam is not a social media.

Cry more failed normalfaggot, Steam is not a social platform for your self-felation. You couldn't hack it on twitter or facebook so you try on Steam instead, but nobody gives a fuck there either.

atleast your friends know youre alive now

playing single player games while happening to be online in the launcher that's required to play them is the same as walking into a social gathering

What?

I literally have 2 irl friends from uni on my list of steam friends. I have zero clue how people can just add randoms. Look at the extensive data showing how fucking faggy (literally) a lot of Anon Babble is and how unfunny and annoying they are and I'M wrong for not wanting to ever interact with them on any level other than the anonymous posting here? fuck that shit. I hate all of you, none of you would be good friends or even play video games in general.

he's a retarded bocchi poster. what other reason do you need?

709504257
709504289
Lol

Have you even used Steam before?? That's not how any of this shit works

was talking about discord dumbasses steam doesn't have dnd

Yeah I'm always online

enter a thread on Anon Babble about Steam

talk about Discord out of nowhere without specifying at all

WOW YOU DUMBASSES HOW DID YOU NOT READ MY FUCKING MIND

Autism.

NO UR AUTISTIC

gottem

Even then you're still wrong. DND is just for those who're in way too many servers and are way too lazy to sort their pingsThat said I do know someone who uses DND who is similar to what you describe.

you're wrong but i know people like that

k

why would I want my game library to act as a social media platform?

discord

agp ahh nigga

I hate appearing online!! I hate people know what I'm playing and when!! I hate when I decide to stop playing something with someone, and then play something else by myself, and they see and get offended!! Fuck you!!

Enclosed is a wojak. I drew it thinking of you and your post, of which I believe the quality to be low and the spirit to be foul. Thank you for your time.

Avoidant Personality Disorder

invisible on all social platforms

no actual friends just maintaining casual relationships that never get too personal

want more but also content with being alone because it is less stress on you mentally

Yeah, it's gamer time.

that pic

ur a fag

They're people that expect you to talk to them at a moment's whim and treat you like you're their personal therapist. Fuck them.

Steam is a video game launcher, not a fucking social media platform. I've been invisible for the past 15 years.

wtf are you literally me? Only difference is that I’m an actual schizoid

I think people do this so no one can see that they are NEETs who do nothing but game all day

being ashamed of not being a wageslave

curious mental gymnastics

NEETs don’t exist

You can hide being in a game whilst still being online.

the more correct description is you do not want to be disturbed, but buying the videogame invited a social gathering into your house without you wanting to be a part of it so you lock the doors and close the blinds so they fuck off

thank you for agreeing with me

Open wide.

Being directly dependent on others, the truest freedom lol

What will NEETs do when their parents die?

wageslave rage

You're talking to a discord tranny

have a friend who has been doing this for 3 yrs straight

excuse is trying to avoid friends who he considers "problematic" or just doesn't want to talk to

he hasn't talked to these people in years since he always appears to be offline

tell him he should just cut them off if he's making this much of an effort to avoid them

"but anon, i don't want to make it seem that I'm cutting them off"

Why do some people even bother keeping a large friend group if they aren't going to interact with them at all like some social media platform? Is it just a numbers game to see who has the largest "friend" rock pile? Despite the fact that these "friends" are nothing but superficial? I usually remove any randoms I haven't talked to within a 6-12 month period, and usually keep irl friends who've I still keep in contact.

Yes, you are obsessed (with me)

Why are anons here hurt their male steam "friends" are avoiding them. seems kinda of gay and needy to me to make posts whining about it.

28

Try to think how to be more sociable

Realize a disturbing truth

I've forgotten how to make friends

*Toggles it on and off immediately*

I don't want to be bothered
Does that offend you in any way?

I've forgotten how to make friends

This is me except it's with making new friends, no one cares to my old mates and I'm okay with this

Shut up you dumb faggot. Just the fact that you posted what you did proves you can talk to people. Honestly you kind of piss me off, you're just pretending to be socially maladjusted.

I got tired of people messaging me when I was playing a game. "Oh you're playing THAT game?" or some variation. So fuck you, I'm using steam to play games not as a chat.

My lack of friends has really mentally damaged me. I haven't had a real friend since starting high school. That last friendship ended in 2006.

Ok anon, but why did you play THAT game?

Being online is nothing like being in the same room with another person.
If there was someone in here with me right now I wouldn't even have a tab open. I would just sit there awkwardly and hope they leave soon.
You don't get it... Sounds like you're a normalfag or some shit.

"the most unstable, drama-ridden people"

We're literally avoiding drama and conversations

Im 26, never had a job and still dependent on parents. I don't man sometimes life feels bleak, and sometimes i just feel nihilistic and happy that im not a wage slave.

Friends List (0 Online)

just get any job.

Yup I'm a normie with an actual retard family member that I have to wrangle, that's why I know you're just pretending. Get over yourself is the best advice I can give you.

You're 26 in 2025.
Don't beat yourself up. The vast majority of this fucking shit is NOT your fault. You're probably closer to the average than you think.

Boomers had EVERYTHING handed to them on a fucking silver platter.
You and me?
WE WERE FUCKING ROBBED.
So when the shooting starts, remember who the real enemy is.

My brother has autism, and not the funny kind.

We're not so different, you and I.

keeeeeeeeeek i'm 33 and my parents are still trying to string me around

literally doesnt matter tell those nigger to shut the fuck up wtf are they gonna do?? KICK YOU OUT??? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

talking over text anonymously is the same as talking to people over voice with your username attached to everything you say

these are nowhere near the same
I can take however long I feel like typing this post and if I end up saying something retarded, I can just close the thread and pretend it never happened. if a similar thing happened in discord I would be contemplating suicide and knowing I could never interact with those people ever again.

is your brother Andy ditch?

Everyone on my friends list are acquaintances I'd rather not get any closer to.

I don’t want to talk to you. You’re a fucking loser. I just want to play a video game. Fuck off.

My profile is private and I never login to that Friends crap

This
Fuck you faggots LOL

the only people who make threads like this are desperate for attention discord tranny NEETs who want to insta message someone the moment they come online and throw an emotional pissy fit if the person says they're busy and don't want to game. Prove me wrong.

Females should never be compared to males in terms of social exclusion. Women who choose to be alone are NOTHING like men who choose to be alone.
It's not the same at all.
Women who lable themselves as depressed or alone 100% are getting fucked by chad through dating profiles at LEAST twice a week.
And they choose that. They make a conscious decision to get fucked. Then they claim they're alone and don't have the chance to meet new people.
Never take a woman seriously. Female problems are not problems. They're just made up bullshit to get more attention without any consequence or accountability.
Only men can be considered truly burdened by problems externally.
Women will ALWAYS have more options than men, at all times, which makes their struggles internal, and they CHOOSE to lose because they're shameless.

DSM-IV

Like I'd ever even share my library, as if anybody I know will see me playing Axyn's adventure when it releases

Autism spectrum disorder. There may be great difficulty differentiating individuals with

schizoid personality disorder from those with milder forms of autism spectrum disorder,
which may be differentiated by more severely impaired social interaction and stereotyped
behaviors and interests.
You're not a schizoid, you're just autistic.

I can't

more severely impaired social interaction

I can interact with people. I just don't want to.

It's pretty much exclusively female privilege to 'lose' and still win. Men don't get away with that shit unless they're working in their rich dad's company and fail upwards.

that's just the description of video games as a whole

LOOK GUYS LOOK AT THE CORNER OF YOUR MONITOR IM PLAYING BALATRO FOR THE 400TH TIME TODAY

Yeah I'm on invisible for your sake, not mine.

the real thing i don't get is why you all don't just clear out your friends list, once i realized i was doing the op image consistently i just unfriended them all, what's even the point of keeping them around?

Oh yeah. When I was trying to get mods working in a game once I was very unfortunately spamming 'X is now playing' to all my friends.

Thankfully I'm a friendless loser so I don't even have to do this.

does that GIF really need to be 3.6 MB?

On one hand, yeah.
But on the other how are you going to explain it to them if they try to reach out to you?
You just don't respond? Okay. You're a level of weird higher than most people and an asshole to top it off.
It's not like it costs you anything to let it remain the way it is. And nothing is stopping you, sure. But if you do that then you can't take it back easily.

I wouldn't want to.

It's your choice. Just don't bitch about it once you realize how alone you are on account of your own decisions.

Just unfriend them at this point. If they're the type to avoid confrontation then they're not worth the effort to hang out with.

The only good answer in this thread. At least you don't have to pretend like you're going to be bothered, like the rest of these fags ITT.

It's not like it costs you anything to let it remain the way it is

according to this thread, it an apparent constant mental abrasion and anxiety game of being found out. this is a massive cope, you clearly do not like these people and do not want to talk to them, rip it off

How else would you play your hentai games?

sorry im a shell of my former self

This is valid.

Just make them private and set your game activity to private, too.

Not good enough... Isolate yourself permanently. It's the only way to be sure.

want to play video games

open steam

multiple attention starved people immediately start talking to me

i just want to play video games, let me appear offline without judging me. you have discord if you want to chat with people, let me play vidya in peace

They're irl people I know mostly from work. I just come in these threads to post the schizoid girl that gets people mad.

Attention seeking gay retard thread like this where low functioning aspies scream about the attention they definitely receive and don't want

Reminded of my friend who genuinely just vanished back in January from literally everything with no warning

I wouldn't need to stay invisible if you weren't so goddamned needy

Are you mad because you cannot stalk me?
Good, I guess.

No. TF2 players are deranged I only play MvM

people are friendliest at their first meeting

no fucking way
no shit
what a groundbreaking discovery
and only schizoids do this? being polite and friendly to people when you first meet?

Get out of here stalker.

You cannot do what you don't want.

life insurance, gubbermint neetbux

If you mean you play MvM with some of your pals casually sure.
If you mean you play the worst shit Valve ever added to the game, TF2 crates that other people can prevent you from opening, then there's something wrong with you.

Kill myself

it's a storefront not a social media

I have never had a single Steam friend so it doesn't matter what I do with the status.

nobody gives a shit about this topic, this bait thread has been getting posted for years and it consists of

same OP bot bait

retards replying

OP and other shitposters continuing to bait with replies like "you're an autist/narcissist/jackass for not wanting to talk to your friend"

retards reply back with more shit about how it's the reverse

repeat ad nauseum

bump limit reached, thread archived

play duos with bro

bro fucking sucks

lose patience

"im tired bro im getting off we play tomorrow"

set as invisible

play with another friend

I do this to not annoy my friends actually

It's all so tiresome

spoiler

Same here, there's a decent chance we might have met each other, depending on the tour. 2C, mecha or GG?

welcome to 4cuck

The big cowards are the ones with the profile private

Same. Finally switched from Win7 and logging in for the first time set me to online. Total bullshit. I knew "upgrading" was a scam. I'm almost back up to 400 now at least.

I've been playing two cities since day one with a 4 years gap in 2014, so probably yes

What's your tour count anon? If you don't mind me asking.
Also ever met any of the legends of 2c? Herald, ABPOD? etc

exact same position bwo, all of the later zoomers have completely given up, does not look better for the younger ones either.

i haven't got a clue who 90% of my steam friends are at this stage. i only ever message 2 of them, who i used to know in real life. and thats maybe 2 or 3 times a year because they're busy with their children etc. i only started thinking about it because some autist messaged me a paragraph about how i ignore him before blocking me. he hadn't messaged me in like 2 and a half years. and i was only barely able to remember that we played monster hunter world together for like 3 matches.

listen, man. i'm troubleshooting a game i'm in the process of modding. you do not want to get 10 notifications in a row that i'm playing Skyrim or Baldur's Gate or Cyberpunk. i'll appear online again when i'm finished. lol

Im a 20 yr old zoomer, watch anime and read eroge all day. Cut off all friends and no socials, just a neet thats a bum. Only friends I have now is my family. I hate the rat race, why does it have to be this way. I wish all anons happiness and good luck in life. I dont think my generation or millennials are fucked, I think its just loser weirdos like us who are even if you hate the normal fags.

Just don't add anybody, even if you're online it literally doesn't matter.

I have never done this, but I've also never had the need to do this since no one's talked to me on Steam in 14 years anyway.

I just forget that I have discord and just feel weird talking to random people on the internet that I haven't met in person, it's nothing personal really I'm just weird

I have coworkers on my friendslist. When I call in sick I don't want them seeing me playing Clair Obscur.

It should be around 1800 (4 accounts) and I've never heard of them

Grim

1800 total tours

never heard of herald11 or abpod

Interesting.. Wonder what kind of mvmlobby comments you have, if any. I'm about the same total tour count wise, 3 accounts. (My main, badge deleter alt and my repeater alt)

You are 20 nigger, talk to me when you are 30+ then you might be cooked.

Sometimes i wonder if i ever truly knew how

I know a nigga who went back to school at 37 and became a neuro surgeon at 45ish, you all are dumb niggers and have no concept of time. Its probably truly over if you are 55+ anything before that is just you are a dumb nigger.

Get a fucking life you clingy stalker faggot

Punch a nazi, kill yourself fascist. The world hates you.

who knows? one thing for certain is that you will still be a wagie

How much you guys wanna bet OP is a leftie with a mental disorder

Punch a commie, kill yourself wokoid. The world hates you.

if you're going invisible that means you have friends on steam in which it is a social media platform

all of them either studying, working, or simply their pcs shat the bed

kinda comfy, not gonna lie, but it bums me that i finally have a decent pc and they pretty much stopped using steam. at least i can still hang out with them outside the funne big internet box

2012+13

having online "friends"

playing multiplayer goyslop

lel

I've been addicted to a multiplayer online battle arena game for the past few years.. It has gotten really bad the last couple months. Met a really cool dude in one of my games. We added each other on Steam, and eventually started playing together while in Discord voice chat in his server. We played together nearly every day for about two weeks. Some days we would play upwards of 8 hours. I got to a point where I really, really needed to address my addiction and try and get off the game. He and I queued up a game.. it was bad.. I abandoned the game and said "I'm done. I'm sorry man." I left the Discord voice chat, removed him from Discord friends list, removed him from Steam friends list and uninstalled the game. I'm sorry Michael. You were a cool dude... but I just have to do this for my own mental well being.

Even though I've removed him from my friends list he still sends me messages asking if I want to queue on Steam.

People don't need to know I'm online at 3am in the morning playing DOAXV. Everyone knows I'm just jerking off. I don't need to a literal status to let people know what I'm doing

I don't want to seem like THAT much of a neet degenerate when I log in to game at 8 am for 8h

i'm 30 and can relate to where you're at. it sucks that shit hasn't really gotten any better since i was your age, either. it's mad discouraging and is part of why i'm still a stay-at-home NEET. housing isn't more affordable, groceries aren't more affordable, gas and utilities, job hunting, dating–none of it is getting any better.

in gamified terms, it's been a bad patch for 10 years. i keep waiting for a good update to start playing, but a good update does not appear to be coming. so sooner or later i'm gonna have to leap of faith into this garbage and eat the damage/uncertainty i've been trying to avoid anyway. don't feel bad about losing touch with your peers, though. most of them will move hundreds if not thousands of miles away from you in the coming years anyway and you would've lost touch regardless.

DOAXV

You can actually achieve orgasm to that game? Damn.

woah you're so enlightened bro omg

you clearly didn't watch it till the end...

i do this because i actually get stalked

literally me but I'm extremely interested in sex

bipolar spastic has absolute melty when the current target of his obsession decides they had enough and takes a break

people who don't want attention are the biggest attention seekers of them all!

sometimes i just want to be left alone, iv got a short social battery and the only way it recharges if I'm alone and don't talk to anyone for like 3 days sometimes it gets bad enough that I want to be alone for like 3 to 6 months.
it has nothing to do with being a coward or a narcissist i just want to be alone

people who don't want attention are the biggest attention seekers of them all!

He said attention seeking by inconveniencing the people who he claims as his "friends" assuming these people exist in the first place

And will take this personally and not as the more general statement that can be applied to any of the mentally ill weirdos here

I stay online all the time because no one is going to message me anyway.

online 24/7

notifications off for when a friend joins a game

ignore messages if don't feel like talking

the only way to play

So fuck you, I'm using steam to play games not as a chat

why do you have friends on steam then if you don't want to chat?

I can't empathize with you if you use a Master Shake pic Anon

I just dont want to bother people with notifications of what I'm playing. I really hate how anytime timmy starts playing noita I have to be notified about it in the corner of my screen
Especially when they're opening and closing the game over and over for some reason like modding or troubleshooting

i'm actually the gold medal carrier for the meaningless number olympics, i'm also too indecisive and shy to remove people i already added.

If they don't like they can turn their notifications off. not my problem

Same. I get messaged once or twice a day on Steam and usually just ignore it. Feels good.

this, if you're not avpd or schizoid you're a normalfag

everything is a disorder now

I would like shove a normal distribution trough psychologists throats

doesn't play goyslop

Are your games kosher, Chaim?

My steam doesn't even log me in when I start it. I have to manually sign in and even then it sets me as invisible. I've already filtered out all the obnoxious faggots who stalk my profile I refuse to entertain any more of you freaks. I'm so fucking sick of genuine homos it's unreal.

Humans are highly social animals and if you go out of your way to avoid social contact then it's absolutely a

disorder (n): an abnormal physical or mental condition

Always have everything except my name and pic set to private

Started gaming with my buddies at work

They say to add them on steam and change the settings so we can figure out what we can play together

I have shitloads of normal games, but also a good assortment of porn games

I know I can set shit like Karyn’s Prison to private or whatever, but I don’t fully know how the settings work and I’m paranoid that they would still see them

Oh you silly kids. Why have a huge list of friends if you don't want to talk to anyone? Just delete them and play your games.

I didnt do this until i had a friend that puts me on blast whatever im doing. Annoying ass zoomers

Damn, I hope that it's nothing serious and they turn up soon anon. I had a friend who I always used to help mod games unknowingly drop out of existence 3 yrs ago. I try not to worry and imagine that he doing okay, but it doesn't help that I was his only friend in HS so I'm never sure.

What a reddit thing to say

Humans are overrated. You can get rid of 90% of them.

nooo people will know i'm a neet

nooo people will i'm playing porn games to jerk off

nooo people will get to much notifications because i'm modding a game and i don't want to bother them

kek what a bunch a retarded reddit cucks
Why do you all care about any of this? if you're so ashamed about what you're doing, you probably shouldn't do it anyway or do it on something else than steam. However, people don't give a shit about what you do with your free time anons, you're not that important and if the 20 notifications in a row they receive because you're modding skyrim bother them, they can turn it off, it's not your problem.

nooo people will talk to me

no they won't, stop lying faggots

Whenever I’m not sure about somebody I remember from school or whatever, I just google “Anon McAnon obituary” and more often than I’d like that returns a result.

Tfw cute girl I was friends with in high school just died from an OD like a month ago

Within the few years before that her mother, sister, and brother had died the same way, and she was the last one left

Sorry but odds are he's gone. People are dropping dead left and right now.

always online

notifications on, never miss when friend hops in

reply instantly even if mid-game

the true bro experience

It's one of two things.

People scared of friends seeing them goon to hentai slop. (no one cares bub)

People who think they're too good to (let people see them) play games. "Haha I'm an adult guys"

Any elevated response to my post automatically slots you into one of these categories.

Remember when Steam had the "Looking to Play" status? They should reintroduce that, but allow you to also select which game(s) you want to play with friends as well as specify other details.

Yeah. I really hate all this pop-psy shit. It's worse than ever these days.

I do this because I don't want people knowing I'm playing games during work hours.

Ok. So what?

For me it's offline. The system where other people can stalk you should never have existed in first place. Same for smartphone's bullshit

Some guy left me a comment on my profile page saying "+ one rep" after i trolled a bit in Obliviin remaster steam threads.
What does that mean?

I have friends who are really fucking insecure. If I start playing with them I can't stop until I go to bed or they lose their shit. It's easier this way

Actual bot and you cheat
Genuine retard that doesn't know that SteamRep both shut down and hasn't used +Rep comments as metric for measuring players (Because cheat clients use everyone's account to spam that shit on people's profiles that cheat, it's a whole botnet)
Person trying to frame you as a cheater because they got mad.

What the fuck?

t. tiktok zoomzoom who just learned the word narcissist

Memes are a hell of a thing.
But in all likelihood, they probably just though what you said was neat, assuming the two things are related.

Steam friends aren't real. Doesn't matter if you're invisible, most people who add me these days don't even know how to say hi, apparently

i would never

go on discord and log in

deliberately set your status to DO NOT DISTURB ME I AM BUSY OK??? and set it to a big red circle DO NOT TALK TO ME I AM IMPORTANT

retard moment

log in

WHOAAAAAAA ANON HELP ME WITH THIS GAME CO-OP BRO DUDDEEE *pogface*

unfriend him

If I want to be social I'll open discord. None of my homies ever appear online on steam either.

I only use discord to find Honey Select mods.

This is the new antisocial meta.

No one will ever know about my 16 hour Factorio sessions.

entire thread complaining about people trying to interact with the people they added on steam...to interact with

i hate hate hate you just say you don't want to play don't leave me on read or de-add me or go invisible you're the worst

if I say that you'll probably kill yourself
I'm doing you a favor.

Your punishment for buying G%

have 0 steam friends

random sends me a friend request

I ignore it

real life person wants to add me on steam

I tell them I don't play much games or just old single player stuff, never give them my steam id

Why do you care though? Just find someone else to bother until they're visible. Better yet, remove them if what they're doing bothers you so much

Needy faggots like you are genuinely the reason I do this. I'm not going to tiptoe around your feelings because I don't feel like talking to you or playing games with anyone.

tfw no needy steam bf to ghost

life is unfair

should never have allowed to stalk me in first place.

never post my best friend Nick ever again

hate

The fact that you have such strong feelings over something so insignificant is exactly why nobody wants to tell you they don't feel like doing something with you. Grow up

Playing with irl friends

They notice I'm offline while playing

Now they think I'm popular or something

log in

HEY YO ANO-

quickly log out

log back in

ANO-

quickly log out

repeat

have you tried reaching out to him

Thats nothing

because i added you to play with YOU not to be an annoying friend collector what's the point of adding people if you don't interact with them
you don't have to tiptoe just say you don't want to play right now instead of ignoring me for 2 weeks and then going offline for a month that's way worse than being needy

what's your HRT regimen?

Vanished from literally everything

Just make two steam accounts.

Yes, buy the same game twice.

COACH PRIMATE

he doesn't create a steam family so he can share his games with alts

Pathetic

This.
It's a small price to pay for privacy.
Make sure you buy Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Oblivion Remastered on your second Steam account, too. You wouldn't want to miss the experience of playing those games with your newfound privacy!

playing mmo solo

accidentally make party

other person shows up

freak out and close the game

Is it true that game is for either, kids or elitist faggots?

I KNOW THAT'S YOU TODD YOU MOTHERFUCKER I'M NOT BUYING YOUR GAMES AGAIN

Well if it says offline then clearly I'm not available so find something else to do.
I added you to play with you when we're both available, not waste time in steam chat every time I log in.
Just unfriend your crush already. Your issue is clearly with someone in particular and agonizing over them like this isn't good for you

Why don't these stalkers get stalked on by other stalkers? Am I their only friend or something?

such a good unknown, anonymous merchart. never misses an opportunity

You left out the third group of people who play VRChat, the pedophiles.
I wrote out a post replying to him but your reply is actually better than mine while getting the same point across, thanks.

just stop playing all those homosexual games

New Vegas remastered when?

they are preying on essex posters

Least autistic Bocchi the tranime poster

I used to do that when I was younger and did Steam based erp. Then I grew up nigga, lmao.

What games are they even trying to make you play?

s*cial ones

from the looks of this thread, they're asking to play NEET hand hydraulics, co-op edition.

That's do not disturb, retard. What about setting yourself to appear offline as a whole is attention seeking?

Thinking you're so important that everyone is constantly watching what you're doing

"I've always wanted privacy.........."

Never had issues with it before invisible was an option

"We never talk..."

Cant react to what they're playing or if they're even fucking offline

ONLY neet losers set to offline, literally. Nobody else I know however busy they are or aren't do it

No, you lost the places you went to make friends. Gaming is matchmaking with strangers you'll never see again in a game without all-chat.

Discord is 90% group chats and nobody makes friends in group chats. Adding anyone personally from a group chat is weird and implies you're gonna leave the group chat.

At this point talking to strangers in a game that reply means you're both abnormal weirdos who do that in the first place

same way a minority of a minority actually post on leddit or twitter

Bro, there is no game about this. You stand around and talk. Ask yourself what kind of person would enjoy this? And it's not like idling in second life in the background: You are 100% occupied physically to afk and wait for things to happen

ONLY neet losers set to offline, literally. Nobody else I know however busy they are or aren't do it

What website do you think you're on, tourist?

Anon Babble is my secret club where everyone is like me

they still can see you had been playing

what's the point? you either put your profile as private or don't bother.

what kind of pedophiles are we talking here, the based ones or the tranny ones?

i had been invisible for years and i finally went online again a month or two ago
nobody has messaged me but everyone on my friends list now knows how much of a no-life i am

sorry todd, i don't have any of those games on my main steam account either

it used to be like that, yes

AVP is a fake term made by oversocialized insects (women) and academics in order to ostracize people who just want to be left alone, so that these insects and academics can feel superior

It has literally never been like that, much to the repeated embarrassment of newfags

online all the time

in the last year have only had one friend that commented a meme to me, talked about life, and then went back to not talking to anyone

only people I regularly text or message is family and old roommates

The simple life of a single player enjoyer.

Last week I had Steam on Online for the first time in ages, and one of my friends started talking to me. Except it wasn't my friend, it was some Chinese guy I'd never talked to before, and I had to use Google Translate for everything he said. He wanted me to join his csgo match and vote for the Chinese team, whatever the fuck that means.
So either one of my old friends sold or lost their Steam account, or Steam let some random chink bastard into my friend list without my permission.
That's plenty enough reason for me.

You enjoying Oblivion best buddy?

me rn

tfw your friend forgots to go online and talks to you while invisible revealing he could be online literally any time

I'm not going to post my exact number since I think some people in this thread are also in my friends list but I am approaching almost 2 years offline, and that's actually offline and not just invisible.

let me spam you while i try to get skyrim sex mods to work properly. kek
turning off when youre and your hours in game is nigger faggot shit, worse than going invisible

i do it because i dont want to be disturbed by irl friends

the second im online someone will message me
i just want to unwind after work

I thought so too until I wanted to play games while avoiding an overbearing irl friend who called me like ten times

I have 8 steam friends but I never talk to them after having added them like 8 years ago when I played a fighting game.

That would drive me insane.

one day you will fuck up and my offline number will become higher than yours

You'd think so, but I've always had trouble getting into Elder Scrolls games. My wife loves them, so I watch her play and that's always nice, but other than that, I can probably count the hours I've played on both hands. Need to keep playing stuff in my backlog anyways.

Well I hope you find something you enjoy, talk at you later!

Yeah I don't want to be bothered while wrangling Source.
Fuck you gonna do about it?

reddit meme

I'm playing Black Desert mainly, it's an MMO with a lot of afk time spent in the game. Leaving your character fishing for 12 hour in a row is something people do. I had to go invisible on discord because the app also shows how long you run a game, and I was tired of having the same discussion with my idiot friends.

haha you are still playing bdo for only 12 hours today

I'm literally not playing, it's minimized to tray to the point I forgot it's still running

haha you are addicted, 12 hours per day is not normal

I'm literally not playing...

It's so tiresome...

Nah that's a really common phishing thing.

you can turn that off in discord you stupid tranny

whining about wrongthink like you're on reddit

calls other people reddit

nya

discord

Sorry brah not gonna do an erp paypig goon sesh with you.

I did, until that useless piece of software did an update and reset everything, and I had the same conversation again. I have turned everything off but still appear online.

i don't do this because no one wants to talk me anyway. however my game activity is going to be forever private because discord's caught me red handed playing some sus shit.

Yes. Cope.

It's insane that you have to spell it out like this. The lack of self awareness is comical.

I think online socialization went to shit when people realized there's nothing particularly special about the people you talk to, they're the same as the people in your hometown more or less with maybe some cultural differences. that and online socialization became a way to earn money through "building a community" and so now you have to navigate every interaction with a huge list of rules hanging over your head, as enforced by egotistical power tripping tronned out moderators who are just itching to come down on you like a ton of bricks.

fuck people I don't need 'em. if you ain't helping me make money, helping me enrich my life somehow, then you can fuck right off cause I'm fine with my singleplayer experience.

I sometimes appear offline because my irl friends will ask me to play some coop/fotm/multiplayer pvp sloppa. Sometimes I'll play with them. I love them but there are times I just want to play my single player strategy games in peace.

all the spergs who got mad at this

consider the following: your status doesn't matter because you don't know who is on the other end and what they're doing. people and the world just don't exist anymore when they're not right in front of my face you know what I'm saying?

aye

Same (or rather it's automatically offline til I click online). I don't need to see them either. Sometimes I just wanna play a game.

it definitely telegraph that you're at least a little insecure about how much time you spend playing and/or what you choose to play.

i have like probably 40k hours and have never done it so yeah it seems like a shame thing

I don't see the issue with fake offline. I won't play armchair psychologist with people if they're not online. I have friends that stay invisible and they still reach out to me so it bothers me none.

dnd 24/7

Yeah I don't get it either, I can see that.

Technology flattened everything. To the detriment of genuine human connection as everyone lost their identity in cyberspace, where you don't have a physical body. You're nobody.

have ruined every single friendship I’ve ever made

just befriended another Anon Babble anon

been chatting with him on discord for roughly six months now

had a couple minor spergouts but he’s still stuck around so far

I’m terrified of the very likely possibility that I’ll ruin another one. I don’t know what I have exactly but I think it’s some sort of minor BPD or manic depression. How do I make sure this guy and I remain friends for life?

suck his dick off

I think you should seek therapy

tell him you're prone to difficult episodes and you do value him and want to stay friends with him regardless of what you do, if you've already sperged out he already understands. the most important thing in these situations is communication...

Well I think more to the point actual human communities don't exist online anymore.
Having no body doesn't make you nobody, you're more than simply your flesh.

I instantly block and delete. Otherwise if i just delete there is usally butthurt involved. Them trying to add me back,message me back or write on my profile. If you're hiding from me i wont be your friend anymore. I will also do the same if you insult me in any way, if you ignore 1 of my messages, if you say you're going to play but then give some excuse, If you havent played with me recently. You're not my friend then. I will forget about you in like 1 hour. Maybe 1-2 days at most. It will be like you never existed. I can recall ive done it to lots of people. But i cant recall anything about those people. You're not my friends.

last online 651 days ago

friends: 1

based until you said you remove someone for ignoring 1 message, that's kinda silly nonnie

Online

Friends: 66

I have been going around to steam forums and discord to look for people to play with. I dont want to have a discord account but its impossible otherwise to find people to play some games with.
Now heres my problem. Everyone you meet on discord is a anti-social faggot. 90% offline mode faggots that will ghost you instead of removing you even after asking if you want to play. Even if you do play if you turn down 1 invite you will be ghosted. Discord faggots are so fucking pathetic that they wont remove you. They will just sit in offline mode and pretend like they cant see your message

i have 140 friends and i consider maybe 3 of them friends, and i don't think i would ask for actual genuine help from any of them

People scared of friends seeing them goon to hentai slop. (no one cares bub)

if I see you playing NTRannie games I will call you a faggot and unfriend u

Because when you have steam friends you naturally want to play games with them. Now the problem with offline is that you never know when they're online and therefore you can never initiate a invite to play. If you dont want to play then put steam on "busy". Simple as that

I never let my friendships progress enough for me to ruin them

Some guy i never became friends with that i met like 1 time in real life and he knew my steam profile, commented on it after it had been private for several years and i unprivated it for like 10 minutes.

tfw when I ghosted my group on December

Except for like 4 irl friends I regularly talk to, the rest of my steam friends are just randoms from a bunch of games. Not that I ever appear offline but I don't even remember where I met these other people. They don't talk to me.

Im only keeping a few friends around so i can play a specific few games that noone else plays. After im bored with it they will all be gone from my friends list. We are both using eachother to some degree

confessing. im sorry i went offline and partially ghosted you bros. its just that you kept talking about personal matters irl and, in a good way, you were all normies while I ended up being a fuckup neet with nothing going for them. I simply didnt belong in the group anymore feeling very out of place and embarrassed when real life ordeals were brought up.

OP friends then continually harasses and badgers people to play shit they don't want to play

is surprised then angry when he starts getting ghosted

Your own fault for being a psycho.

Funnily enough, I did that just yesterday. I had another sperg out and just let it all out basically. Told him I’m an awful human being but I desperately need him to be my friend, as selfish and manipulative as that sounds. He didn’t block me so I guess it worked out.
I can’t help myself. I want friends. I want to be close to someone. Even if I’m destined to ruin all my friendships, I want to keep trying

so long as you're communicating with him, even if it does end up falling through, you at least did your part. it's your job as a bpddemon to be open with your friends so they know you don't actually hate them.

No fag, I will not spend my time with you playing some random game you found, only to abandon it within 2 days. Let me play Total War: Warhammer III in peace.

I can't maintain any sense of identity for more than a month or two. I've made so many accounts on twitter and discord and steam only to nuke them weeks later. I'm usually well liked but if I get along with someone I become fucking obsessed with them and if someone slights me I hold on to the grudge forever. Recently I had a meltdown and changed up all of my information again and some guy followed me and readded me like "what the fuck dude? Why are you ignoring everyone". I blocked him because I saw him reply to a tweet made by a girl who disrespected me last November and the association is so strong that I hate him as well to some extent.

I’ll try my best. Thanks, anon

this sounds like you never really trust anyone, whether you've been hurt before or not you're never going to really be comfortable around friends if you refuse to trust them. it also makes you neurotic, as per your post...

Ghosting is woman behaviour. Why are you such a sissy that you cant even handle to remove someone or say no?

you have brain damage

Also I'm just very boring and don't have much going on to talk about and I don't wanna be flirty the whole time

can't maintain any sense of identity for more than a month

changed up all of my information again

some guy followed me

Sounds like you have shit tier Opsec for someone so self conscious about """identities""""

Most of the damage was done by trusting people.

eh shut it nigger and kill yourself I don't fucking care.

it's been years, you have to learn to forgive people

wife material

I love modding my games, this usually results in me launching the game 20 times in the span of a minute to test things out
I've been on the receiving end of some retard launching a game on Steam over and over so I'm just being considerate to my friends

You're thinking of schizoids. AvP is about being alone while desperately wanting connections, but not being able to get said connections because you are insecure/ in your head too much.

you have to learn to bend over and get fucked in the ass

Only someone who wants to fuck me in the ass would say this

login

friend pesters me

always tell him I'm busy playing this other game or force him to play my game

That's all there is to it.

When the time comes and you finally kill yourself at least don't make it messy for your family

People that accuse others of narcissism constantly are extremely narcissistic

Pretty much this

wow thisis literally me!

I have 0 friends in my friend list and i do this
come at me

I don't have one!

Try being someone worth talking to next time, faggot

Mentally ill people project their insecurities onto other people, who would've thought.

So like you're doing right now?

It's literally because of one obsessed harpy of a "friend".
Still hung out with him but it turned out he's a fucking asswipe retard faggot so now I'm ghosting his ass, only problem is he started to bother me on my phone number and he actually has my address too, so I just pray to jesus that he'll just move on and leave me the hell alone.

Internet friends aren't real friends especially the social-reject/failed human ones.

remove friend

Internet friends aren't real friends

OP and the rest of the Anon Babbleisters aint gonna like this one

I simply don't want to hear or see chat notifications while i'm immersing in a game.

especially the social-reject/failed human ones.

These are honestly some of the most annoying parasites I've had the displeasure of meeting. It's vindicating when learning a few people I ghosted were literal subhuman garbage given their browsing habits.

be me, join some group of wotagei dancers at uni

guy there introduces me to his anime friend group

cool group of weebs, cute girl who cosplays in the group

group hangs out at girl’s house often watching anime or love live concerts

go to miku concert together, go to theme park, there’s a guy in the group who’s really into cars and lets me drive his tuned subaru at night

girl is kindest person i’ve met, checks up on me because i’m a bit awkward and introverted

hit by crippling depression the following years, girl asks me on LINE if i’m ok and where i went

don’t respond but every fiber of my being is screaming at me to hang out with them but I owe- thinking it’s been too long and i’ll look like a creepy freak suddenly chatting in the group again

see the message from a notification but don’t actually open it so it appears unread

8 years later still haven’t opened LINE because of this

Am i hopeless anons, is it too late to tell her what happened

you need to move on

I don't play competitive games. Leave me the fuck alone.

thinking it’s been too long and i’ll look like a creepy freak suddenly chatting in the group again

I know that feel

when people are exhibiting narccistic behavior (everyone is thinking about me all the time i should use dnd 24/7) they are going to get called narcissists

I was being ignored for months by all my "friends" (I don't consider them friends anymore) and never getting invited to games, lobbies, new chats, etc. when they used to try to get me into those things so I just ghosted all of them to see if any of them would care or notice. It's been like several years now and not one of them have tried to reach out to me.
To be fair I was definitely an annoying sperg back then but it really sucks to find out that you're "that guy" that no one wants to keep around. I haven't had any friends since, both real-life and on the internet, and have totally forgotten how to make friends or socialize beyond acquaintances. I've lied to my parents about not being a friendless loser but I'm pretty sure they saw straight through me.

I get the feeling I know who you are, haven't talked to you in years now but lol

I did this with my family

post stupid shit

get mocked

u mad bro??

Cringe.

I started ghosting him barely a week ago so I'm probably not who you think I am.

If you were in the military IK who you are if not I don't

Because for whatever reason I have natural charisma and that causes people to constantly talk to me and invite me to shit
But I'm also mentally ill to the point of being obsessively empathic and aware of how everyone feels and thinks to the minute details
I know when someone is reaching out to me they seek validation above all so it all becomes formulaic; I know what I need to say and how I need to act, I'm painfully aware of the tone you need from me and the exact words I need to say to cheer you up
This in turn also means I know how to ruin people, which is somehow a worse feeling because if you're an asshole to me I have to hold back from pressing the one button I know will destroy your life
And so I can only exist as what people think I am, not as what I truly am
It's all so predictable and boring I rather be alone
