Same, never had a friend irl or online. Normies invaded the internet years ago

hmmm, i am the odd man out…
i'm on a board with 290 million members…
i really have a fair group of followers and get bombarded with questions and opinions all the time …
IRL i am a loner; i simply can't stand the majority of people i meet…
its weird to say the least, the people i meet online are for the most part congenial and tolerable (except for "Twinkies)… its very odd; it took me many years to find a board where i felt at home…

i hate it when a normie who has no idea what it's like to be like this comes to this board and tells people to just improvemaxx bro
it really does feel like other people, even online cryptids, have some innate ability to socialize and start friendships, that we lack

>>220422 (OP)
>I f*g can't relate to people online, even in circles that are meant for "losers" and "outcasts", even if i like many people there and we can somewhat get along,
yeah I did this in college, only to find they were just as shallow as normal people trying to one-up each other. Even trying to socialize with the "nicer" ones, they end up avoiding you because of in-group gossip. The only friends I could make were with the biggest bullies in the group, who eventually bullied me out of it all together. Pretty much all of my family members met their spouse and friends in college, while I show up to thanksgiving alone and everyone walks on eggs shells like a retarded person is in their presence.

As for online friends that's a whole other bag. While I had to heavily censor myself in college, I enjoyed the anonymity of online of being myself and trying out new forms of speech. Being anonymous kinda prevents the whole online friends thing, but it does give me a sea to disappear in if I say or do something stupid. All the online communities I might have had friends with have largely died out due to lack of interest, lack of maintenance, or pirated content being struck down. And ever since Trump politics is such a heated topic no one can stay rational unless you are completely on their side of the political spectrum.

The exclusion I felt from online communities and playing games with other people always felt so much more painful and disappointing than from normie society. It's such a crushing feeling of loneliness.

I have recently been playing World of Warcraft classic and a couple of times random people grouped with me to do a quest. Even if they say nothing then just "thanks" it makes me so uncomfortable that it basically ruins the game

The Trump campaign used Israeli botfarms to crack the whip on any opposition. Conversation was never an option.

Image boards are on life support. Try someplace else like the fediverse. That's where I spend almost all my time anymore, visiting sites like this maybe once in a blue moon. I've found people there that I can truly consider friends; I can't say the same thing for image boards even after 15 years on them before jumping off the sinking ship.

>>220578
First time I hear of that place, can i get a quick rundown on it?

>>220579
Imagine thousands of tiny twitters, youtubes, soundclouds, etc. that all connect to one another and can post and send images and so on to each other as if it were one website. Each one is independently run and cultivates its own userbase and forum culture, yet can communicate with each other as easily as you can email somebody from gmail to somebody using hotmail. For example, you join one forum that's on the fediverse (such as poa.st) and you can communicate with people from any other fediverse instance. Well, not every – some instance admins will block other instances for having muh wayciss nadsees because that particular instance is run by a literal tranny. Just stay off the no-fun-allowed side of the fediverse and you'll be fine.

>>220581
I forgot to mention it's called the fediverse because the technical term for these sites communicating with each other is "federating" (as in being part of a federation) with each other.

>>220422 (OP)
Any time I try to join a chat these days like discord it seems like it's always young people trying to one up one another with shit memes from modern anime games.

>>220643
Those are gachaniggers. Brainfried coomer normalfags who post safe horny ai slop. Bunch of 60-80 IQ indians and southeast asians now populate the chans instead of suburban whites.

If you don't do any socialization activity (not even playing games) hardly you'll get any socialization.
chans aren't built to socialize.

>>220422 (OP)
Relinquish. Your wants are trying to get you into places still not fit for you, and that's quite similar to the status of failed normie. You are losing the stars because you cry over the vanished moon.

>>220422 (OP)
I talk to a single online friend and I barely talk to people irl
That same friend invited me to a server filled with other virgins and a few other autistics, it was hard at first because apparently I was a bit too autistic for them, we got along after a while but I was dying to feel more adequate someday
One day that dickead admin started to also fill it with succubi newcomers (don't ask me how the fuck he got the idea or how it worked) and it all went to shit because the virgins started to simp them over the smallest things
They were already porn addicts but for some reason watching them simp so openly felt awful, maybe I hated the fact succubi had it much easier just for being succubi, but I also saw it as a lack of common sense
I'm still here as an user but I haven't talked to them for a year, at times they contact my friend to check if I'm alive and saying they miss me, and we both pretend I'm too busy or something stupid like that, but deep inside I do it because I'm cruel and bitter
Thanks friend, I couldn't fit your little autism club and you didn't even notice, but you're still nice to me after all

>>220422 (OP)

a lot of it is loser/nerd culture getting co-opted by the mainstream, the deathnail was in 2020 when crabcore stuff became mainstream on tiktok; for some reason and made a lot of normies think its cool to be a loser for some stupid fucking reason, but as soon as you talk about being a loser its "lmao go to therapy or gym" (not saying gym is bad, its great, but its not some magical thing that'll fix all your issues like RETARDS like to pretend it is). it also doesnt help that trannies have taken an active role in a lot of the alt tech sphere and enjoy the idea of satanizing the spaces until theyre the most retarded hugbox grooming cult shit ever.

>>222230
You wanted yo use your loser façade to fit in and were punished accordingly. A truwiz does not even try such miseries.

>>220422 (OP)
I used to have people I talk to online for most of my youth. Never really had friends IRL at the time.
Mostly on teamspeak servers /xfire related to some at the time niche games, s4 league, early league s1-s3/4, cod classic and MMOs like Metin2.
Now in hindsight it always only worked because I was really good at these games, since I spent 12+ hours daily, so randoms would flock to me like some kind of micro-celebrity that they would always want to play with however lame that sounds.
Never felt like it at the time, maybe my memories are just tainted by hindsight. Non of those people would have ever talked to me if not for that.

I have one friend I talk to, basically only through chat who I met through college and we basically dropped out. The only reason I even have 1 is because of random chance and we happened to have very similar mindsets.

There are no places for people like me anymore. I'm 29 and honestly everything I enjoyed has turned mainstream, card games… anime and game forums were so different, safe havens for the likes of me.
Nowadays even if I somehow manage to enjoy a modern show, manga or game I actively avoid online discussions of it. "normies" enjoy them wrong, however retarded that sounds and it taints my experience if I realize.
That aforementioned micro-celebrity thing has been turned into reality through youtube for many of them, influencers and whatnot who shape the online landscape filled with NPCs who have downloaded their opinions on things from hour long "video essays".
It's beyond insane. Thousands of uncreative soulless golems churn out "content" trying to leech that success in the name of capital and clout from the few remaining works of art.

Even here I often read some really odd things clearly coming from someone at least a decade younger. Older people must have felt the same about me back then I guess.
I feel like if you are in your 30s or around that, you too experienced a period of great, yet fast transformation of the world.
Sometimes I feel like I escaped an insane asylum looking at what is normal today.

Maybe it's arrogance. Maybe I'm a bitter retard. I just can't even fathom interacting with the youth in any meaningful way even though way back when, age differences didn't mean shit for online friend groups.
The few I do interact with in the workplace now seem alien to me.
Not even in the sense of a normie compared to a wizard, but even compared to the normies I'm used to, the youth today feels like a different species.

All in all, I miss having people to talk to in chats and forums and such. Being anonymous has it's pros. It's comforting in a way.
But even the way I am I would like to have one or two more people to interact with.
The issue is I barely do anything anymore and social interactions need an excuse at the very least, some shared interest that carries it on. So that's that.

It feels like normies have taken everything I ever enjoyed and skinned them wearing them as badges, titles, temporary identities to larp as some quirky skinwalkers.
The creatives tailor their creations to them because money. There is nothing left.

>>222305
There is a difference in mindset. These people entered new spaces expecting (/demanding) those in them to adjust themselves and the space to them. They succeeded with that.
Back in the days before smartphones you adapted to the culture of the hobby or group you joined.

As I don't take part in much of anything anymore the only people I'm offending are people here at most.
If you feel so then proceed to gatekeep in whichever way you can lest I twist this site into something beyond your recognition.

We should be free to live however we please, alone or in the company of others. I have bad experiences with people overstepping boundaries and trying to set me up inside a social group I want nothing to do with. It actually pisses me off that Normies are so self-centered that they think we ought to exist as accessories to their life. Stay alone, fellow wizzie!

I do not socialize on the Internet anymore because the Internet is no longer for socialization.

Globalization killed the World Wide Web. It literally destroyed the entire purpose of network system.

35% of India has Internet access, and look what they've fucking done to it in the span of a decade.
Half of users on Steam are Chinese, and they have no interest in assimilating with the rest of gamers.
Every single goddamn forum is infested with Brazilians, and the more of them come in the more you see their language.

This stuff adds up and eventually murders chances for socialization. I am on the Internet to talk to English-speaking people who hold the (relatively) same interests and cultural upbringing as me, and unless I waste away on Discord with depraved creeps or inculcate myself into normalfaggot humiliation rituals, I'm at a loss.

It does not help that imageboards are completely dead now, either.

>>222326

When I was young I avoided online interactions with my kind (Eastern Europe) as much as possible.
Only used English, while most used their nationality in their usernames just to gather into cliques and shit up spaces online.
I just knew that they were lower quality people in general.
It's hilarious and sad to see how the real third world has taken over, doing the exact same thing on a large enough scale that the English web is slowly becoming the minority.
They don't segregate themselves anymore, they just blatantly shit up spaces.

Not to get too political, but my nation was notorious for moving to London or England in general to take up low wage jobs, but never learn the language or really assimilate.
Now that the brown third worlders are doing this en-masse the same people are seething.

I have a hard time accepting this in general, not just online, but the numbers don't lie. Billions of people that I was never meant to interact with in life are now in my face.
Somehow they even have strong tribal ties and in-group preference that I and my "kind" never had and are actively hostile towards outsiders even more so than the normies used to be.
Crazy times we live in.

We can only hope we wont live long enough to be at their mercy as elders…
I lament my powerlessness as I see all the joys I managed to find for myself slowly get defaced and erased.

can't really bring myself to hate them. feels like they genuinely try to steer you in what they THINK is the right direction. as in what they guess will make you the most happy.

This guy has been doing this forever. He's a troll. Literally any time someone tries to suggest a wizard do good for himself, this dude or one of his TeamSpeak goonies tries to deny the advice and then he mocks it like this. He wants everyone on this board to be in a self-destructive depression spiral until they kill themselves, because he hates everyone here as much as he hates himself. It's seriously at the point where if someone said they want to build muscle, then someone suggested exercise, he and his ilk would light up the thread with "but not everyone CAN exercise, and having muscle is just a COPE anyway, so why bother?"

As for people giving advice to a wizard IRL… That's human nature. Everyone gives everyone advice in an instinctual effort to see everyone be better at what they wish to do. Now not all advice is applicable at all times and different societies, cultures, and age groups have their own ways of going about >IMPROOOVING BRO, but to get angry at receiving someone's ignorant or uninformed care is absolute mental retardation.

>>222365
I can see why he would discourage anons from le improooving though
some anons gloat terribly about their achievements

>>222367
>I can see why he would discourage anons from le improooving
The only reason you could have to stop someone from bettering themselves in a way that will make them happier, is if you hate that person and want wish to see them sad and unfulfilled. It's that fucking simple. Framing advice given as a worthless meme is the worst thing you can do to someone who is depressed and open to try anything to feel a bit better. Either one-up or shut up.

"le improooing brah" is only remotely applicable in the extreme case of the trolls who would go to boards such as /r9k/ and tell the >no gf guys to just "be themselves", or suggest to the NEETs who want a good job to "just give a manager a firm handshake and ask when you can start working". It's a response to obvious trolls who are just taking the piss out of the rampant BAAWWWing of boards like /r9k/. But when it's used to shoot down actual well-meaning health and lifestyle advice with the justification that only normalfags IMPROOOVE, it can be rightly assumed that there is some serious animosity towards wizards and men in general taking shape.

I Believe in improving. I've had My open bite and recessed jaw fixed with bimax. I Look normal now with near perfect bite. Later they fixed My flat feet. I can now stand with less pain. This was all essentially free through public health care. I've Been going to gym For 10 years and I've never squatted 4 plates. I Took up training 100m sprints and did it For 5 months. Then I Timed I and My Time was 13,5. Which O was not Happy with, and I felt like I wouldnt improve greatly If I kept it up For another 5 months.

I regret none of this. Only that I didn't do some of them earlier. 99% of men can substantially improve their position If hiven enough Time. I would say its most over if you are like 5'5 tall. With The Rose ofsocial media you are so handicapped that to overcome that is nearly impossible. Maybe with Leg lengthening but dno.

Why is everyone so abrasive and hostile?

It’s like ever since I was a child all I have observed is the inundating triumph of malice over benevolence and it has done nothing but result in my self-alienation and ostracism. I have been bullied by racist negroes who excuse themselves on the premise that Anglo-Saxon racism justifies their blatant criminal offenses, and I have been ousted by my own White brethren who are afraid to stand against the hateful Negro scum ravaging the country. It’s clear that White folk have lost all solidarity with their racial roots and that they want to sully the bloodline.

I have been bullied by my psychotic brother, in highschool he watched as I was assaulted by five depraved Negroes of the gangster “want-to-be” variety, and as he stood there he smirked and snickered quietly. Growing up, my older brother would slap, beat, kick, wrestle me down and pin my head on the carpet, rub my face into it and cause temporary burns, and lie about the entire ordeal to our parents while making fun of me coyly by calling me “sly” and “forgettable.”

My “friend” group in Highschool betrayed me for social favor and to cut off a possible liability.

Now that I am an adult, unattractive single mothers try to hit on me because they’re desperate for a financial provider in this awful economy. People expect more of me not knowing my past, and when I refuse to speak to them as a defense mechanism they revert to petty bullying tactics like making snide and demeaning remarks. Even if they knew what I had gone through, and some do as I have become a person of controversial gossip over the years, it would not change their indescribable ignorance.

All of this because people perceived my unsightly appearance and unconsciously affiliated a sense of malignancy to it. I don’t believe there is any hope for me to ascend out of this hellhole I have dug myself in, everyday I think about moving far away and secluding myself for the purpose of cultivating wisdom and peace of mind through meditation and study. However, to accomplish that goal I must amass savings to fund the enterprise. What are your thoughts everyone?

I truly despise humanity. The whole species is corrupt and disgusting. I can’t wait to move on and finally be left alone—even if death is my liberator, I will be at peace then.

>>222405
I agree with you (although not sure about the race part) but people do suck. I am neither black nor white but my experiences have been the same with people too, although I am not a chad unlike you so never been approached by a succubus (single mother or not).

I think that you're an American or Canadian, so I hope that you're at least doing fine monetarily and can afford to buy good copes, suicide in my opinion is completely useless, as death is certain to occur at a time.

But yeah most people are genuinely horrible and don't want to see things from the perspective of other guy, people are very unforgiving, and I think this is how they have always been. I am sorry to hear about your experiences with your older brother, I know it is insensitive for me to ask but did your older brother ever try to make amends and apologise to you for it.

my hobby is comforting anxious wizards to make them less anxious.

>>222378
Nice spotting, wizzie.

>>222371
Absolutely do not get leg lenghtening surgery!
At least even if you're short, you can walk and go from A to B without any pain. But given how these surgeries turn out you'd be otherwise destroying your body. It's literally cutting a healthy bone in half.

Not only does it cost 80k USD in the cheapest countries, you will never run again and at most you will gain around 4 to 5 inches.

So you will go from like 5'3 to 5'8. Is it worth destroying your legs for?

>>222405
it's the satanic cycle enslaving humanity

I'm too much of a misanthrope. I grew up idolizing characters like Patrick Bateman and Tyler Durden. I'm trying to rid myself of these thoughts that everyone is horrible and the world is garbage. The truth is there are many good people in the world.

I have never had a friend, either in real life or online. I actually tried to make friends online; however, I couldn't relate to anyone. Even if my interests and theirs were similar, it didn’t work. I have no social skills.
