I just read it what you linked to . Can you kindly demonstrate which of those rules I violated ? I ' m reviewing my comments and not seeing where I called anyone libtard or any variation thereof . I did not doxx or ping anyone . It seems we are discussing different viewpoints but overall I am trying to be respectful while being condescended by other users . I apologize if I ' ve broken any rules and won ' t be responding to them henceforth . Thank you for the work you do in keeping the sub orderly . <| sep |> It ' s easy to get to know people , but it ' s hard to find people that are worth your time and affection . I turned 25 last week and have a total of four close friends which is the most I ' ve had in my whole life . There were years between finding them , but its not impossible and it is very much worth the time it takes to have people you can talk to about absolutely everything . So my advice is as follows Start by asking a lot of questions to your acquaintances about themselves and their interests people love to talk about themselves and it turns the spotlight off of yourself . Being an introvert means a certain level of social awkwardness and by our age it ' s time to embrace it because it ' s not going away . This means we have to leverage our better ability to listen to overcome our outwardly social shortcomings . Listen to people ' s answers to your questions and take an interest in it , even if at first its just to learn something new . For some , these talks will stay superficial and not go anywhere and that ' s fine . But for others , these simple conversations will turn into more deep discussions that our NT types enjoy and you ' ll start to form a bond with them through learning about their life . In turn , they ' ll also start to take an interest in you and thus grows a real good friendship . And at some point , you ' ll find at least one where you hit it off much better than the rest and there will be what becomes your close friends . These people are the ones looking for the same thing you are , so you just have to show them you ' re worth their time too which is shown by actively taking an interest in them and thus putting them at ease . Perhaps this seems like a grand oversimplification , but like I said it ' s really not hard it just takes time . I ' ve used this same general route on all of my current friends and it ' s worked very well . So give it a shot !
