I Have a Really Hard Time Making Friends

Will it?

I was going off his post and what he presented as his problem - wasn’t making any assumptions about his area’s age/peer group.

Was listening to Henry Rollins on Joe Rogan’s podcast the other day - funny ass dude. I had no idea he has written 26 books. Anyway.

He said he likes having friends, and he is the type of friend who will drive 6 hours to bail you out of jail at 3 am after not seeing you for 6 months. Just don’t invite him over for dinner with the family or whatever, he straight up said he doesn’t know how to act in those situations and it makes him uncomfortable as hell. He does hang out at WIlliam Shatner’s place every fall for football games. Which is just about as surreal an image as I can imagine - Henry Rollins hanging out with William Shatner. Watching football no less.

Yes, yes it will. He lives there, and he’s stating his observation. It’s pretty straightforward.

You did make an assumption about his peer group. You assumed the partiers who he already said he can’t relate to may want to hang out and chill without partying. That’s an assumption.

Is it though?

I already explained this … I can’t help that you’re having a hard time with my explanation.

Have a good one.

Yes it is, because he literally sees the people who live near him, while you don’t see them. He’s given his analysis of their general perspective, but you refuse to accept what he said about people he’s seen and you haven’t seen.

I’m not having a hard time with your explanation, as if it’s beyond my comprehension or something. I’m saying your explanation is straight-up wrong.

As you said, have a good day.

Actually an accurate representation of my peers would be “everyone is on heroin”. Our city has the leading use of opiates, or did as of last year. So drinking is a pretty mild generalization.

Sorry to derail the thread dude!

Even when between Americans :joy:

For that exchange, anything more just ain’t worth the time and energy, and I reckon @polo77j feels the same.

Do you live in a rural area or big city? I’m from New York and making friends here is pretty easy. The population density makes it easy to find groups of people who are into the same things as you are. Making lifelong friends is different though, those are relationships you have to work to maintain.

Be funny, I don’t know of anyone that wouldn’t want to be around someone that makes them laugh.

Funny isn’t something you decide to be, it’s just something you are or aren’t, and un-funny people trying desperately to be funny are fucking annoying. This guy has random posts about asking his gf to lose weight, then ones about getting dumped (surprise), then ones about joining the police academy, then ones about partnering up with a friend and having $100K, then 2 years later one referring to himself as a “jobless bum”, it goes on and on. This is a 5 year troll job from a weird ass mofo.

Thanks for saving me some time trying to convince him not to be weird.

^ This, I waste enough time on forums, I may as well save some of it for making posts that are worthwhile.
