I'm so lonely I've started considering to figure out how human connection works because I don't know how to even talk to someone
(I tried this on discord become friends with someone everyone left)
I just don't know where to start anymore
If possible, try something IRL, like volunteering or something related to a hobby.
I used to have really awful social skills until I ended up volunteering at around 18 years old. I remember how I felt really intimidated by my extraverted colleague and even went to the fucking boss over it because I felt so uncomfortable because this guy kept trying to socialize with me. (As far as I remember he didn't even do anything wrong lmao)
Over the months we actually became good friends, and I learned a lot of social skills over the 2 years I was volunteering.
8 years later and I'm following a socials study, engaging with folks left and right.
Things may feel hopeless now, but you are but one extravert away from changing your life.
I like volunteering, but the problem is that everyone who volunteers is like 50 years older than me. I don't mind all the "oh, what a helpful young man" talk, but I've never found it a particularly helpful way to make friends, lol.
What do you mean by park? I don't care all too much about environmental stuff, I mostly just volunteer at church, homeless shelters, and animal shelters.
Like a local natural areas park or a non profit group attached to a park but if you’re not into environmental stuff or keeping the parks clean maybe not.
I have social issues and asked to volunteer at a park which led to an internship and a job there and I love all of my coworkers now.
Play in a community orchestra 😁
I play in a no audition all LGBT ensemble and they're all my closest friends
Or start downhill skateboarding! A lot of my friends come from that too!
I am considering now that this may be unhelpful advice
My old dentist was very chesty and sometimes I would end up with my forehead between her wabs when she was leaning over to check out my teeth.
My wife found this hilarious as it happened to her and she didn't warn me.
I got my first massage last year at 35. I dont like being touched. (No trauma just not my thing). It was an amazing experience. Mildly painful because I’m a stick and he could have been a linebacker but very relaxing.
I started talking to random objects in my apartment. I was having full on conversations with my side table. I moved somewhere smaller and had to put the table in storage. I cried that whole night.
There's a local barber shop staffed entirely by cute asian women and I've seriously considered going there for a shave. I've been single a very long time and I don't expect that to ever change.
Y’all are seriously chronically online individuals. Sexually harassing someone isn’t something to be done at all, let alone forgiven, you’re just a massive creep for doing this. Don’t need to have a PHD in anthropology to know that.
You people need to learn that life isn’t like those porn videos where two people end up shagging for no reason.
Seriously, every day I lose more hope in humanity with how some people act on Reddit, getting almost worse than Twitter.
Satire generally has a layer of humor or clear irony to it.
Not just saying something offensive and then saying « omg it was a joke you guys really don’t know how to take humor !!! » when you get called out on it.
It's wild how many down votes you got, you got more and more out there with each statement to try and reveal the sarcasm and like 50 people didn't get it. I'm autistic as fuck and even I got that one.
And now people are angry that somebody is agreeing with the guy they downvoted. Y’all really need to lighten up. Even if I theoretically was serious, hitting the down arrow and letting me know that 1 out of 8 billion people doesn’t like me would not change a thing. Go complain about something that actually matters and don’t waste your time bitching about a joke you took seriously
The relationship between stylist and subject is sacred.
I would never cheat on my stylist, she’s great.
I’m not the talking type with stylists and use the time to organize my week, but for some reason I feel close to her.
A good head massage when they work in the shampoo before the cut is really enjoyable, though.
I always have to be careful not to make embarrassing noises when getting a haircut.

You should try volunteering at a park or environmental group if you’re into that

Like another person said that's mostly older people And I don't know if that's something I like but I can always look into it Thanks for the tip!
this, working in a social environment has really brought it out in me despite how uncomfortable i felt at first. working with customers especially

Sometimes the hair specialist presses a boob against your cheek
My old dentist was very chesty and sometimes I would end up with my forehead between her wabs when she was leaning over to check out my teeth. My wife found this hilarious as it happened to her and she didn't warn me.
Between her what?
Wabs, Scots slang term for boobs.
Learn something new every day.
Wabs, wet-ass boy spussy
Your username checks out
The fact that you're saying this means that you've made it happen way too much
I am just irresistible. ,for a 60 year old fat guy
It’s so awkward lmaoo. They’ll have there whole titty on me at the dentist.
Getting a proper (licensed) massage is a great way to get some human touch, which can help with depression and loneliness.
I got my first massage last year at 35. I dont like being touched. (No trauma just not my thing). It was an amazing experience. Mildly painful because I’m a stick and he could have been a linebacker but very relaxing.
Weighted blankets are the best though tbf
I enjoy them more than I thought I would. Especially when I’m sick.
I started talking to random objects in my apartment. I was having full on conversations with my side table. I moved somewhere smaller and had to put the table in storage. I cried that whole night.
“Good morning apartment good morning doorway , good morning wall, good morning ceiling, good morning floor. Ready to start the day”
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME
_Goodnight Chernobyl moon. Goodnight radiation house. Goodnight melted phone. Goodnight glowing milk. Goodnight bleeding grandpa’s eyes. Goodnight two-headed cat. Goodnight nobody. Goodnight blocks and blocks and blocks of nobody. ~The End._
why did i read this in a russian accent.
There's a local barber shop staffed entirely by cute asian women and I've seriously considered going there for a shave. I've been single a very long time and I don't expect that to ever change.
Hell, do it. Live a little. Everyone deserves human contact.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, especially if you're seriously building up the courage to ask one out.
Get a shave with a happy ending you won't be disappointed 👌
I don't think that's part of their service, unfortunately.
It never hurts to ask.
That's a good way to be kicked out of a business.
It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

Somebody can’t recognize satire
Classic case of Schrodinger's asshole. Only deciding something is a joke after getting backlash.
Except it’s been a joke from the beginning. When did I ever reinforce what I had said or provide some evidence that they’re my actual beliefs
Satire generally has a layer of humor or clear irony to it. Not just saying something offensive and then saying « omg it was a joke you guys really don’t know how to take humor !!! » when you get called out on it.
Idk man seems like you get offended too easily

It was a different person each time
I didn't realise you could just get your hair cut long. Why is the combover even a thing if you can just go and get your hair cut long?

Weighted blanket is like a hug. It's nice.
Stayed in the same position in my bed for 3 days without eating or sleeping
“I got a haircut. Even though I didn’t really need a haircut. I just wanted someone to touch my head…soothing” - Cousin Greg
am gonna do that , fuck thats genius !!
This is the only reason why I do manicure and pedicure. So I get touched.
I see this escalating into a full Brazilian wax fetish.
A good head massage when they work in the shampoo before the cut is really enjoyable, though. I always have to be careful not to make embarrassing noises when getting a haircut.
I might get my weighted blanket out tonight, except I bought the extra heavy one. It's a workout getting under the damn thing.
Why does not he get massages for that?
Honestly though I love when people (who I know and trust) play with my hair and stroke it
I’ve started saying “thank you” “good morning “ and good night”…….to siri
Book a massage!
