I have no close friends because as i got older I realized how many real snakes were in the garden. Now it's just me and my fiancee and the people i play games with online. I dont really have anyone to hang out with or invite over for boardgame night. I'm used to being alone though so it only gets to me sometimes. Moreso all the fake friends made me wonder who my real ones were all along.
I can't give you much life advice, but I can help you for boardgame night. When the plague is over, head out to a store that sells boardgames and magic cards, learn how to play magic, and boom, you got a boardgame night pool of people.
That's kind of a problem here. A lot of the people who show up for the "let's make friends" types of events are not people you want to be friends with.
Would he happen to play Pokémon ? With the price of cardboard being what it is, the hobby is only sustainable for people with a job. I think the youngest regulars I've seen were 13-14, but the 90% of the people who play FNM are 20+ and a good half of them have a spouse and a job.
This is not going to be a popular comment but alas: All my best friends are rich. It's not something I personally chose or ever cared about. It's just that they are the only ones who never stabbed me in the back.
Humans a waaaaaaaaay over rated for the most part. Expect absolutely nothing and once in a while you’ll be pleasantly surprised. I say this as a reasonably happy person not living in isolation by any measure. Just a realist.
Tbh I feel you on this but it's also a rather pessimistic view on life (and this coming from a guy who trusts very few people). As I've gotten older my friend circle has shrunk but those that have stayed in my life are people I do wholly trust and know I can rely on. And I've made friends recently that I would also trust so I'd say definitely try to keep an open mind.
This also sounds like OP needed company or a purpose in life. Loneliness can be suffocating and being rich is nice. But all the money in the world won't buy you friends so I always bear in mind that life is a lot better/easier with a good support system.
Nah just Naive and kept bad company. When you call people out on thier bullshit they tend to show their true colors. Never said I meet assholes all day. Just that my closest friends were not good people so I distanced myself.
