I Have No Friends

I was like this last year bro.
But here's the thing about the "waiting it out" philosophy:
When you look back at your high school days, do you really want to view them as wasted five years of life with no fun? Atleast TRY to make something out of it, that way you can't hold it against yourself later in life. I was scared that I would.
So basically, I just picked out the coolest kids with the most friends(they happen to be twins) and I made them laugh alot. They eventually started inviting me out with them, and I met a TON of new people threw them, and even though these two guys aren't cool to me... I have so many connections that I wouldn't have if I hadn't played them.
These days I'm renowoned as the funny kid again. Anyone who hears my name knows me. I don't have many cool friends at school, but it doesn't matter, because they've all seen me on weekends with the huge groups of guys/girls I'm with.

I'm glad I made the transition. I really don't think its made my life better, but atleast now, I won't be able to regret not having a blast in my early days. I'm meeting new people and getting into harmless trouble. Being the cliche teenager. Truth is, I'd rather break rules now, when its socially acceptable, then to realize when I'm 30 that I never really lived, but then most courts will be harder on me if I decide to do something stupid.

 

I don't even remember any of my HS life.... bits and pieces.. but nothing about it overall was worth remembering

 

thats a good song....

 

I kinda feel the same , I have like 4 friends and arent very close to them, and in class im just like meh....But lots of people at my school are fucking dumbasses anyway.

 

What's your name on SL?

 

I love you guys. I have always said I didn't really care if I had friends or not, but it still made me miserable. Seriously I just felt different today. I read every post. For the most part, you didnt say how to get friends, but you said to be comfotable with your isolation. That just gave me a whole different attitude. I just felt more happy I guess, more active. I ddnt feel like a mope-around. Now I would be totally fine saying I have no friends to someone who asked something in that nature.
As far as findig someone "cool" and making them laugh, and one of the reasons I cant mingle with anyone well is because I'm a terrible conversation starter and continuer for that matter.
Another great advice was to learn about myself during this period.
It's really not all that bad.

 

^ Good for you man.
Remember that everyone has bad days or gets stuck in a rut here and there....
There are some days I have to look at the sky and the sun and just be happy I am alive and sane....

 

well gee, i guess that depends on whether or not you're a stalker Xue Sheng

you seem ok. my SL is Favrielle Magic.

we should all get on SL together, and throw awesome avatar parties of stonyness.

 

SL?

 

Second-life.


I believe its like, simulated reality.

Never played it, but I've seen it on TV.

 

its a nifty thing to get involved in. you download it (its free, no monthly fees) and you rape the free stuff first. you can get a job (the most lucrative is talented escorting, IMO) you buy thing, and you can design/ sell things. if you want Linden Dollars (L$) now, you can purchase them. the exchange rate usually hovers at about L$250 per US dollar. the best part is, if you know your scripting and create a worthy product, you can make L$ and exchange it into real money.

I highly recommend it. the live music is fantastic too. Prankster Isle hosts all kinds of concerts, and theres a 420 open mic night at Mason's barn. its fun, its free, and it helps to kill some time. when i have some L$ built up im going to design my dream house in SL, take screenshots, and have my plan all set up.

 

Can you link me to the download site? Sounds interesting

when you sign up you pick a generic avatar, then you can customize to you heart's content. you may have to play around with your graphics or settings. our graphics card is about 2 years past its prime, and it still works for SL, unless the computer has been on for awhile.

 

awesome... i bookmarked it.. i'll check it whenever i get a chance

 

yeah i tried that out on my terrible computer and I ran miles into an ocean and couldnt get out.
Macbook Pro should come in any day now!

 

theres a survey thing you can sign up for once you are a month old. i made L$1200 for a focus group the other day, and i think it was L$250- 500 just for signing up. they don't pop up all the time, but its 15- 30 minutes and free money.
when you get set up, hit the search button on the bottom toolbar, the people tab and punch in favrielle. i think theres only 4 or 5 with my name, and im pretty sure one of those other ones is mine, but i don't remember my password
anyway send me an IM so i can add you as a friend.

 

I tried that site after seeing it on the office a while ago and it really sucked...

 

I've had times of intense loneliness and times with plenty of friends. most friends expire and don't put in due effort to keep up the 'ship.

one time in high school I ate 4 zolofts and was really sociable for a week. I easily talked to ppl and remained friends at least for that semester. don't eat 4 zolofts. I puked and diarrhead but the rest was cool

 

my "friend"(i use the term litely cuz i only have 2 or 3 real friends if that) ate 3 2mg kpins before school he was fucked up

 

Get a job. Thats a great way to meet new people.
