What did you do to get the friends you now have?

[DefunctTheory]

You got rid of your friend because he was boring and uncool? Seriously?

What a shitty friend you are.

Anyway, how did I get my friends...

...

Lewd sexual comments, I guess.

No idea. Seriusly, all I know is that I am friends with them, I don't remember how it went really.

i have a wide variety of friends, from the perma-fried stoners to the basement 24/7 gamers just from being able not to find fault with anything in people. You smoke whatever. your gay whatever makes you happy. Plus I always try to only bring up topics that would interest the people around me. Like not bringing up video games with people I party with or not bringing up biking when taking to my gaming buddies. And the only people who don't like me are the ones that have found fault with me, not saying everybody is a friend just that not a lot of people find a reason to hate me.

Let's see.

I have work friends, badminton club friends and my family...that pretty much covers my social life. Given that I do bar work, and get along with pretty much everyone, it adds up to a hell of a lot of people that I converse with regularly.

But the truth is, I can count the people I've had truly meaningful connections with on one hand, and I see none of them on any kind of a regular basis, they all moved to fulfill their job ambitions, etc.

I'm not complaining exactly. I'm just quite guarded and introverted, and social-interaction wears me out very quickly. So when my established friends left, I found myself unwilling to start again.

So I'm kinda a loner now. I'm not lonely, or even upset or unsettled by my lifestyle. But I'm definitly not moving forward. I'm disillusioned, aspirationless, and it's really hard to break out of.

/tangent.

You're replacing i with !, somehow managed to separate 'un' from 'cool,' and, in addition, you're replacing s with $.

You, sir, are the annoying, uncool one.

But, I suppose I'll have to take your word on it.

...

Oh! I got some friends through mutual contempt, too.

And smoking!

Different places really.

Some are from school, some are from work, some from college, my local pub, people I meet on nights out partying, friends of friends who become friends.

I tend to be somewhat socially awkward/nervous, I make lame jokes and usually say the wrong thing, but people tend to stick around. I wont question it too much, heh.

By sitting quietly in the corner and letting the shadows form little shapes... till someone walked up asked for help and we ended up talking about how cool (insert thing) was for an hour and got to add a new number to my phone.

How do i get friends? By avoiding people, ironically.

 

[HerrBobo]

Ermmmm, by talking to them.

By beging my self.

I'm really funny!

 

[Wapox]

I meet them, we talk, we seperate, we get back together, my friends are my lovers that way I guess they're the ones that come back for more of me

 

[Plurralbles]

in elementary school One of my friends decided to give me reasons to be his friend becasue I hated him for a while. We've been friends ever since.

Through him i've gained quite a few friends.

Then through the girls across the hall, engineering scholars, and my roommate, I've gained even more.

Basically, I get friends through others influences.

 

[TheTim]

I met my close friends back when i was 5 and started kindergarden, and it got better from there, through them i met all my other friends.

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

Friends, what friends, I don't have friends, I have minions.





But seriously, my best friend, now my boyfriend of six years, I met on the internet, then in person.
Other friends, I met in school

Preview your posts and check your spelling and punctuation, and you can swear in moderation here as long as your not being offensive or hostile, so censoring "shit" is unnecessary, especially if it's still legible (**** would get your point across as well). Anyway, you asked an interesting question so that's why I'm here.

I have quite obvious contempt for "small talk" so not easily, especially if the person I'm talking to is irritating, shallow or boring. Assuming they're non of those things, I be myself. If that doesn't confused and scare them, we tend to end up being friends. I get pretty intense very quickly because I have no interest in sharing monotonous observations.

If I'm stuck with that person I suppose I put more effort into easing into the relationship if only for the sake of making my life easier. I haven't made many significant friends this way though, they've all been exposed to my eccentricities early and reciprocated well.

Not to say I'm loud or abrasive, I just tend to find people get confused when the first thing they hear from me is something about the possibility of human parthenogenesis that quickly ends up becoming a quip about Metal Gear Solid's "Les Enfants Terribles".

Most of my friends share these quirks.

I lived in the same dorm as them, now my entire hall is a band of brothers.

 

[iDoom46]

I have fallen ass-backwards into every friendship I have. I have no clue how it happened. Frankly, I'm surprised I even have any friends!
