Venting friendless

[qwert3948]

i feel like everytime i try to get closer to the people close to me i suddenly loose all social skills i have (if i do have any at all..)
it feels like i'm an alien trying to infiltrate humans lol

How do i even begin to make friends? is it just too late for me now? xd

multiple times people have tried to befriend me first but i would get overwhelmed and shut down and wouldn't be able to talk to them, so they would leave me alone. i want to scream

same here it's tough as rocks to make a friend. Online it's kinda easy but not really a friendship is it? getting a friend is a whole mission itself. Actually talking and doing the stuff needed to get a friend is even harder. Maintaining that friendship will also probably be tough. Ive given up a long time ago.

BR - Brasil? Para mim o caminho (tortuoso) é se incluir num grupo de pessoas online e ao longo do tempo ir construindo a possibilidade de se encontrar pessoalmente. É difícil, mas acho que é isso. Introvertidos como eu e você não se dão muito bem com a ideia de ir para um bar sozinho e se enturmar lá, por exemplo. Quais são seus hobbies? Você gosta de anime ou só de Lain?

P.S. tudo isso fica mais fácil se você morar numa capital.

woah, thank you for the translation. i don't think anyone has done that for me before.

i like anime and gaming and drawing and lots of other stuff.. it's not like any of these involve super niche things but i feel like most people i talk to look at me like i'm insane if i mention some of them. specially music. i've thought about getting into more popular things before so it would be easier to make friends even, but none of it matters in the end if i have no social skills.

It's not a translation, I'm from Brasil as well — I'm sorry, I couldn't make that really clear.

I don't have any friends either, so I know exactly how you feel.

I totally relate. Keep trying. I would suggest community service or a work environment with lots of people around your age. Regular exposure to people with some common interests is often the formula to foster friendship. Also, once you make a few friends it becomes much much easier to make more. It is normal for it to be hard to make friends when you have none, then once you make a few it gets exponentially easier. It's just the way it is. I say this as someone who has had lots of friends at some times, even verging on "popularity" and no friends at others. Many people are in your situation. Examples of community service where you interact with people:

food bank, cleaning environment (planting trees etc), working in a shelter: examples of jobs with lots of interaction: large retail environment, hotel or hostel, touristy jobs with many workers.

I hope it works out for you.

If you are both from brazil maybe you should be friends. Brazil isn't that big is it?
