Desiring Friends, But not sure how to find them

Post Reply New Topic

This is a problem that has probably been beaten to death on this forum, but I've found myself over the past year or so desiring somebody that I can talk to, but never being able to find somebody (or being too scared too approach people), and lately it's been bothering me, to the point where I get physically upset about it. I had a friend from high school I tried to get into contact with, but he has a lot of friends now, and I think he prefers them over me, since he never called me back after we met up once at the college we both attend. I also don't know anybody at my college, and it always seems like everybody already has their little circles.

I've posted on the friendship board here, and I've met a few people that way, but there's a gap in the messaging, and I know people are busy, but it's been a couple of weeks, and I still haven't heard anything, I kind of feel like I might have scared people off. I've also been trying to engage in some multiplayer online games since it would help me engage in a community that will probably share some of my interests, but I always feel like I'm in people's way, and a lot of the communities are known for being incredibly toxic.

I'm going to try streaming soon as a way to interact with people, but I'm not entirely sure if it's a good idea or not. Mostly I'm posting here to see if people have any advice, or could share methods or experiences.

I am lonely as well, I don't really have friends. Trust me man, good friends are hard to find don't feel bad, you don't want lots of friends. It's not about quantity it's about quality. That "friend" you have is a crappy friend, I you should have expected it. When I go into high school I expect my few friends to "drop me like I'm hot".

Other aspies have the same problems and would love to be your friend. So I ask, what are you into?

I am into mathematics, cryptography, security, privacy, movies, Gotham, Scorpion, Criminal Minds, Numb3rs and other things. I'll be your friend although I'm a bit younger, my intelligence level is that of an adult (not to be arrogant or anything).

I know, and that's usually the policy I hold toward friendships, but it just feels frustrating sometimes when it seems like everyone else around you has a buddy. Yeah, I guess so, we were pretty close during high school, but he never quite seemed to consider me as much of a friend as I did him.

I'm into cryptozoology (demonology as an extension), monster and creature design, linguistics, zoology, gaming, some film, and shows like Hannibal, Supernatural, Daredevil, and the like.

Oh, thank you, I'd really appreciate it, and we could chat about Gotham. Haha, it's alright I'm in that boat of intelligence too, no worries.
