I answer seriously to shitposts <| sep |> my last friend was high school , which was about 11 years ago and that relationship was due to a shared geographical , cultural , and age group . After high school I just go to class and go home to play video games . After college , I spent about 5 years at home all day everyday playing video game and watching tv showsanime . Wasn ' t until a few years ago that I got a job and meet more than 2 different people on a daily basis . I can be very social when I have to be , and even at the work place I socialize and are pretty much liked by everybody . However , I choose not to socialize outside of work because I tried it a few times and I find that I rather stay at home and do my own thing . If you ' re talking about social contacts or social circle , I literally have none and It has never been a problem for me . It does seem interesting to experience such things , but then it become something I have to work towards and not something I enjoy . The difference between us seem like an introvertextrovert thing . Some introvert have great social skills and some extrovert lack the necessary social skills . My advice to you would be to not fantasize about having friend and change your mindset into treating everyone you meet your friend , until they proved otherwise . If you just see everyone as your friend , life feels easier . Most people in current society are default set to be friendly and social just because that ' s what they need to survive in today ' s world , so all you need to do is act like everyone you meet is a close friend and they ' ll pick up on that and treat you accordingly . If some people don ' t like you or responded the same way so be it , you don ' t lose anything you ' re just back to where you were before you tried .
