Honestly you seem to be a douche who is rather full of himself. Maybe elitist, maybe stuck up, whatever. Even the way you phrase your post expresses that. You'd like people from the board...buuuut they talk basketball more than they play it so obviously you can't be friends. You can't "fake laugh"? Lighten the **** up. Fake it even. You'll be surprised how quickly you'll loosen up and the fake might become real. People don't get your humor or you're just too witty...because nothing screams original humor like running a 5 year old that's what she said joke into the ground. I know types like you. I used to be like you. But I grew up and realized that making friends is easy if you have the opportunities, and it sounds like you do. You're expecting to make a connection with some dude and hit it off right away and be bffs. Just like women, you do have to fake it a little. Laugh. Shoot the ****. People aren't going to go out of their way to be your friend, especially if you act at all in real life the way you do here. Actually put forth effort if it doesn't come naturally.
Huh? Dude, I was posting a saying I heard, not calling you an *******.....LOL.... What I meant was that the problem is not other people it is your standards, loosen em up a bit and realize that being a good friend means listening to things you don't give two hoots about, but you listen and converse about them because your FRIEND does care.... The ******* story was meant to be funny.....and lead you to introspection.... I am sorry you don't like me......I will try harder in the future. DD
Lower your standards, like others have said. You shouldn't look for friends that are a mirror of yourself, that's boring. Find someone that's much different from you to hang out with, you might find yourself enjoying/experiencing things you would not have before. As for being fake to draw them, I don't think that's necessary. Just be yourself, and if that doesn't work, fluff them a bit to get them to like you.
How do I go from that to being able to talk about anything? Where is the line drawn? When is it appropriate to talk about say the meaning of life with a dude? Maybe I have a chick soul inside my testosterone filled mind and body.
You seem very negative toward people in general, or easily find reasons not to talk to them or not care to make friends with them. You say that you don't like to pretend to be interested in what people have to say or like...but are you even attempting it? Doesn't seem like you'll make many friends just expecting them to come to you and not care if you are interested in them.
Swoly-D begs to differ sir! I've seen him say something and follow it up with that's what she said. It really shouldn't be allowed.
I'm not letting you just shrug it off. Your quote was unnecessary. If I had a friend to care about then yes I would listen and comment when appropriate, but I don't so what you said offended me because I am really wondering why I don't have any close friends(the point of this thread) . I analyze everything and come to conclusions quickly. I'm sorry if I don't like to be called an ******* in jest. The snide comment about I'll try harder in the future is a weak way to brush me off.
Look, the comment was made to make you THINK that perhaps the reason you are having this issue is ...well....YOU !!! Nothing more.....I did not call you an *******, nor would I ever......just open up a bit, meet more people and see what happens. You can always go back to your sullen self...... But you don't like me anyway.....so......pfffft...oh and I am shrugging it off whether you let me or not....so there...... DD
Your opinion is of familiarness. It's weird seeing somebody who can be completely honest and not dodge shame or embarrassment huh? You can take me at my word or take what I write and not have to wonder what I'm thinking. On the other hand, I could be obscure in what I write and take the I am the bigger man approach. The latter is especially common.
You are incredibly full of yourself -- and for very little reason that I can see. I wouldn't want to be your friend either.
Quit back tracking DD you don't know how open my mind is lol. How can you make the assumption that I can make without information? I'm not sullen, I am mere product of my environment. I observe more than I talk. Positive thoughts permeate my mind. What comes out of our mouths shouldn't be censored. Imagine how enlightened we could be if everybody just said what was on their mind. Harsh as these situations may be I think it should be our next step in evolution.
It might just be the word "imagine," but this reads a little bit like a rough draft of an ultimately-scrapped John Lennon song to me!
I try too hard I don't try enough what is it? I like you Moes. You're witty and you call people out. I am envious of your intelligence. Is that honest? How about if I said I had a 6 inch dick and feel self-conscious about it because the rest of my body excluding my teeth and the fact that I am 5'8" is pretty desirable in a scientific sense(symmetry colored eyes etc.). Is that trying too hard? Probably, but I'm serious about finding real good friends because I feel a hole in my soul right now.
