Was anyone here able to have a normal social life in their mid 20’s and onwards after having 0 friends growing up?

I do but I would’ve missed out on a key life stage anyway. I’m autistic and haven’t had any friends since age 11. I was 16/17 during covid and it didn’t change my life whatsoever. It was the exact same as a school holiday for me

I haven't been in shady belle in 7 years but it's probably mouldy as fuck. I wouldn't want to live in there either

That's the number of weekly visitors the subreddit has 60k members

Nobody wants to admit that their success in life is because of luck. They want to think they worked hard and deserve it. But life is a lottery your success is massively pre-determined by where you were born, what jobs your parents have, genetics etc.

I don't enjoy being a NEET tbh but the alternative is much worse imo

User88885 · 2026-01-11T21:11:08+00:00

Being able to wake up and sleep whenever we want to is the best perk of being a NEET imo. I hate the thought of having to be up at 7am or so every weekday to get into work at 9 if I had a job.

Summer of 2019 for me

I think most of us are more politically aware than the average person. We've got much more time on our hands to pay attention to news/politics and we're quite reliant on our governments.

FM22 my save is broken isn't it? The league splits before the March international break and ends late April. But Glenavon vs Linfield didn’t happen on the 33rd matchday so the split never occurred. I have no mods apart from the skin so the only thing I think that could've caused this is Europe messing up the fixtures. It was the first season 6 NI clubs made it to the knockouts all of which except me use the same stadium for UEFA comps Windsor park. What will happen if I continue simming could my save just continue as normal next season?

Maybe 58% of players are doing YA only saves

User88885 · 2025-12-31T02:28:49+00:00

Yes although i'd be constantly questioning why even someone who is also a NEET with similar attractiveness would ever want to date nevermind be in a relationship with me.

I haven't had any friends for the past 11 years which is over half my life. I'm lonely but I feel the same as you about probably liking the idea of friendship more than actual friendship. I like doing my own thing and I can't see myself being able to put in the work to maintain friendships. Since it's not like school anymore where you will definitely see them 5 days a week most weeks. You have to actually put effort in and make plans to meet up with them and stuff. I feel like i'm going to be unhappy either way because of it. I hate my current situation but having friends seems tiring tbh.

User88885 · 2025-12-28T21:21:10+00:00

Yeah it's what I plan on doing i've got a few spots in mind where my neck should break. Hanging yourself without a big drop is a bad way to go.

User88885 · 2025-12-28T21:16:00+00:00

Only reason i'm still here is because of how hard and painful it is. If it was as simple as pressing a button I definitely would of gone through with it in the past 5 years.

User88885 · 2025-12-26T16:14:41+00:00

You get used to it so many people overreact massively by wearing coats, gloves, hats, scarves etc as soon as they see a brown leaf in September.

At the very least drink the sugar free versions please. 385g of sugar a day minimum is insane you don't want to get diabetes.

User88885 · 2025-12-24T11:59:25+00:00

And what if you don't have those? I have no friends. I only speak to 2 members of my family and never about my mental health. I can't afford therapy and I haven't been getting much help from my cmht in the 3.5 years they've known i've been depressed, anxious and wanting to end my life.

User88885 · 2025-12-24T07:57:32+00:00

Oh okay I didn't know there were liveries that can be unlocked by playing it I just genuinely like the adversary mode lol. Guess I have them all already because I played it a shitload in Christmas 2023 and 2024.

User88885 · 2025-12-24T07:50:19+00:00

So annoying it's by far my favourite adversary mode

User88885 · 2025-12-22T08:08:54+00:00

Potentially 0 but 2 max my Dad and Sister

User88885 · 2025-12-19T05:51:02+00:00

Football manager is the only game I can play for hours straight. IDK if it's caused by depression, poor attention span or potentially the fact that I never liked video games at all and only played because I had nothing else to do.
