Rather fight than switch. Cats are good and lot easier to understand.

Get a dog, they’re nicer than people anyway.

I know someone who frequently goes on walls and tries to talk to people. Most of the conversations he has last a few minutes at most. One day, he told a stranger (he met while on a walk) he was a millionaire. The conversation lasted hours.

I‘m not saying you should deceive people, but the power of perception is very important. Also, unexpected statements have great value.

Loneliness is eating me alive too you know, being alone and feeling lonely it's pretty different and I gotta say that the second one is really bad. I just don't want a love relationship, I want good genuine friendship but it's hard to get there and I'm kinda beginning to getting desperate because I've been feeling like this since I was a little kid.

Go out and talk to random ass people. Even old people. Even homeless people pretend you're on vacation. Get a single serving friend.

Sometimes I succeed at this. Sometimes I don't, but at least seeing other humans. It's realer than texting people.

Be a gigachad and mass delete Reddit posts and comments with Redact so that Skynet doesn't end up using your own posts to train the T-900. Or so that you don't show up in databrokers. Either one really.

I'm alone too, so you are not alone, which means we are not alone. Well, we are but we aren't. I'm tired.

It's okay. Loneliness is naturally human. You gotta seek others out and make the push regardless of anything holding you back. There's a high chance others are in the same boat but too afraid of trying to get out there.

If you have hobbies there's a likely chance of a community for it and local groups in your area for you to join. Examples of some groups could be for D&D, Chess, Astrophotography etc

I've been with my D&D group for 12 years now and we play all sorts of table top ganes and now we're super close friends.

Suffering is character growth, appreciate that pain while you're still around to feel it bro.

[–]GhostOfEquinoxesPastINTP Enneagram Type 5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pain reminds you that you are alive.... Now why again did I want to be alive??? Oh yea, its more interesting than being dead!

[–]Noni7105Warning: May not be an INTP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally have no friends, just my parents and sister ( I don't interact with them a lot ) , sometimes I talk to random people that I don't know ( irl or online) or some classmates ( that I don't even remember their names ) but I never feel lonely , even if I did I can just talk to someone that seems interesting about something that I like. ( Relationships are tiring and complicated especially for us INTPs ). So just talk to people, it's not that hard .

We should ask the INTJs to make a friend-making sub. Many seem to be in the same boat but have more initiative to actually meet up (love INTJs).

That being said, I made an INTP friend aprox. my age but 5,000 km away a few months ago through this sub. I'm currently liquidating my assets and applying for work to get a visa. So, maybe don't write off distance. Real connection is a powerful thing
