You guys are attractive and look regular. I guess if you're shy like me, making friends isn't a big priority, BUT I definitely have the ability to make friends. I'm sure you do too. There's no way you're more shy than I am

My social skills have taken a pretty big hit from not really having any social contact with people for the last few years.  I can't talk to people when there are more than three of us around; it makes me nervous.  Actually in the last year or so I've developed a bit of stutter when I get nervous and I've become very inarticulate.  I could better express myself when I was in grade 9 than now.  And when I try to I usually make a fool of myself.  It's really embarrassing and I stop trying after a while.  I'm really boring to talk to as I never do anything.  I mean when someone try to talk to me and their only question they really have is what did you do on the weekend and all I have to say is "nothing".  They stop asking after the third week.  I also have a deep rooted fear of someone asking me "friends".  Like "what do you and your friends do" ect.  I always have to lie or smile and nod my head.  I've got such bad social anxiety that when I do find someone I can talk to, I get scared and end up distancing myself from them.  Really I've just dug such a deep hole for myself that now I can't meet new people and I have no old people so I'm stuck being alone.

What happened to the brunette?

Anyway, FM and BM, you guys need to take more initiative in establishing any sort of relationship with anyone.

And if someone asks you what you did on the weekend, make something up. Your life can be as (apparently) interesting as your storytelling allows.

[muckhole]

The thing is you guys have plenty to talk about, but you either seize up when the moment comes or just can't think of it on the fly.

So Mike, why not every day before you go out, make a mental checklist of 3 thing you did/read/are interested in, and don't come home until you've used up at least one of them. Are people losing interest because you actually did nothing? Or is it more that you're worried they won't approve of what you did do, be it stay at home and watch TV?

Did you make a flipbook of you flipping a flipbook?

It was!  though the flip book within was actually an s&m porn vid.  That's sociably adaptable right?

Muck, social anxiety prevents me starting up conversations.  I know it doesn't sound like much but it's really a petrifying fear that stops me from doing anything. 

[Bildi]

Maybe try finding a friend who shares your goals in life.

I only have a handful of friends (less than 5, I don't count acquaintances as friends), and for the most part they share similar life goals.  Doing fuck-all and relaxing on the weekend is a life goal.

The best friends in my opinion are those who you only see every couple of months at most, and they don't give a crap if you don't talk to them for six months and vice-versa.

[BlackMage]

wat? that's lame!

[muckhole]

The advice I'm giving you isn't coming from a super confident macho tough guy. I used to be in exactly the same boat. And I sure as hell don't have your guy's looks to fall back on.

It is terrifying, as ridiculous as it sounds, but the way to fix this stuff short of meds is baby steps, and a bit of positive thinking.

Like I said, just talk about one thing. Even if it's just asking the time every day for a week to start.

[Bildi]

wat? that's lame!

Which bit?

[Don Flamenco]

wow, animated gif flipbooks!  This gives me an idea for this presentation I might do...if my social anxiety doesn't kick in and prevent me from following through. 

Friends are annoying, friendships are rarely very reciprocal, people can be difficult to read, and moods usually don't match up right.  we wouldn't have this problem in a communist country.  Luckily, getting drunk and stoned with a group of people who are all acting weird is so cathartic...usually the morning after is when the best real conversations happen. 

Baby steps are the way to go.  Be mindful of social faux-pas like talking for too damn long about one subject, interrupting, getting over excited etc.  but if they happen, and they will, don't over analyze or dwell on them.  Just keep in mind not to do them next time and have a sense of humor about it. 

[BlackMage]

wat? that's lame!

Which bit?

only seeing friends every couple months. That's folly!!!

[BlackMage]

I feel good. I feel great. I feel wonderful. baby steps

[muckhole]

I feel good. I feel great. I feel wonderful. baby steps

  That's not quite what I meant.

[Bildi]

only seeing friends every couple months. That's folly!!!

It probably depends on the type of person you are.  I'm not really interested in a friendship that relies on contact every couple of days or every week to survive because I have no interest in that level of contact with anybody really.

I prefer a friend that even if we don't meet for a few weeks or even months, when we get together we have fun.

I think it's down to finding people who share your friendship goals, whatever they may be.

Most of the friends I enjoy hanging out with are scattered all around the world and I rarely get to hang out with them, then there are just casual groups I deal with at college, but never enough to get overly personal with them.  I don't think it really helps that I commute since that ensures that 100% of the time I would say 'no' to any plans to do anything.  I also don't think it helps that I'm incapable of leading a conversation at all.  And for some reason I keep ignoring people I know who want to catch up, talk, or something equally boring.  I'm also pretty sure that not being down with all that social networking stuff is probably another factor in it, I hardly even go on AIM.

And one of the biggest problems I do have with making friends with a similar hobby is that most other people who have an addiction to video games/anime/whatever suck.  Sometimes I feel like the greater collection of the good kind post here.  I mean, I remember checking out an Anime club on campus and I was totally baffled at how much I didn't fit in.  I like anime, they like anime, but why do I feel strange for taking showers and not singing the opening to Haruhi? I actually had to leave the room because the wahjah was too intense.  Then again, in real life I don't really talk much about video games and stuff, so maybe the other good guys aren't exposing themselves, but that just makes it harder to find someone good enough.

Same here! There's an anime club on campus here, but I didn't even make it to the first meeting.  They had a message board and it was all "KAWAII DESU NE!!1111 ^___________^;;;;;;;;; TEE HEE <_<  >_>;;;"   Also met a group of anime/gamer dudes when I was at community college...at first it was like, "okay, they look kinda outcasty, but I'll give this a shot."  They completely redefined boring and sad to me.  Sexual jokes induced fits of laughter that were borderline epileptic, me showing off a new game I got induced awkward jealousy (since they couldn't get/hold jobs) or resentment if it wasn't in line with their tastes. I added some to AIM and had some of the most embarrassing conversations of my life.  and of course, no deodorant or showers, horrible dandruff, why why why?!  But then there were other guys in the group who just weren't that informed, but seemed to play whatever was sat in front of them and couldn't really hold a conversation or express anything...there was just no balance

yeah, thats another can of worms, but i do hang with some.   Used to hang with only them in my...ahem...phish fan days 

[Barry Egan]

what I want to say is that you can have a lot of friends, but they wouldn't matter if they're (what i personally call) "energy-draining friends". they're the type that you feel exhausted after meeting up or even talking to them (I don't even mean the people you need to change who you are to talk to).

The people who you need to change your behavior in order to fit in are exactly the same people who are exhausting to be around.  I don't understand this distinction.

[tiesto]

I'm like one of those people who are fairly quiet and laid back, but don't have trouble meeting people or making acquaintances. My problem is I tend to fall in a rut, I mostly hang out with the same people I have known since middle school, I have a few friends at work but they all live in Nassau, and when they ask me to hang out, it sometimes gets where I get lazy and would just rather hang out with my friends who live right down the road. Another problem I have is I'm pretty tolerant of nerds/social outcasts/etc. so I tend to get weirdos hanging on my back.

Easiest thing to do is relax and stop caring what others think about you. Ask people about their day, and let them dictate a conversation. The best way to get out of it is to attempt small talk with whoever you can, whether it be the cashier at Best Buy when you're going to buy your video games, to the waitress at the restaurant, to people at the bar. You could always join a club which has your interests in mind, but I wouldn't recommend anime club. I went to a few UB Anime meetings and not only was it a sausage fest (unless you were into obese black women) but most of the people were a bit too weird even for me. If I could go back I'd join the Polish Student Union. If there was one thing I miss about Buffalo, aside from the wings, it was the Polish chicks.

I usually choke when cold-approaching a girl, though, and run out of things to say, though making eye contact and approaching, saying "Hi what's going on" is no big deal, esp. if she's giving me glances.

And while we're on the subject of girls... if you show that you're a guy who attracts women, you will suddenly be swamped with guy friends. Every guy wants to hang out with someone that knows cute girls. Although, if you are going to a bar and talking up girls, it will be a bit harder if you are by yourself, that kinda shit sometimes creeps girls out.

[Phoenix Dark]

Most of my friends from HS go to different colleges or never went to college (which is sad). I have a handful of old buddies who still live in the area but we've grown apart.

I've made maybe 5 or 6 friends since entering college. I'm a shy person and always have been, which causes me to sort of drift through classes (when I attend). Perhaps the best thing that's happened to me on the social front is finding a friend-girl, but she'll be moving to NY soon  :'(

I have no problem talking to people, I'm rather confident in my looks and skills...I just prefer to keep to myself. On a friday night I prefer to be in my room reading, or on the computer. That's just who I am.

So not only did I make some small talk with this cute girl in my calc lab, some random hot girl also said hello to me as I was walking down the hall.  I then gave some kind of reply.  If it could be called a "hi" it was the most distinguished mentally-challenged sounding greeting to ever be uttered by a collage man.  I then swiftly walked past her

You can also try this:

"so what did you think of the homework? Oh, really? Yea, I haven't done it yet, been focusing on my other classes..." [note: it's a good way to make her continue the convo by asking what other classes you're taking]
