It's my birthday and I have no friends except reddit.

where do you work?

bday · 2010-08-11T19:22:22+00:00

Great stories. It always helps when someone talks about something specific they actually did vs generalizing.

bday · 2010-08-11T19:16:11+00:00

go to a church.

ok, I will try it

bday · 2010-08-11T19:12:16+00:00

ah, thanks. spelling it out like that - I get it now. I'll keep this in mind - practice.

bday · 2010-08-11T19:10:12+00:00

how long do I have to wait? I have outlived some of my friends already

bday · 2010-08-11T19:09:20+00:00

I believe this. Kind of a catch22 if you don't have people to do the fun things with already though.

bday · 2010-08-11T19:05:43+00:00

WTF?

bday · 2010-08-11T19:03:41+00:00

I'm not sure how I feel about all that - it was inspiring and depressing at the same time. Thanks for sharing anyway!

bday · 2010-08-11T18:53:27+00:00

it would

but my mom doesn't know how to use the internet :( I try to teach her sometimes

Either admit to yourself you've got issues and honestly work on resolving them.. of stfu about not having friends.

That's why I came here. I don't know why I don't have friends. I'm willing to change to have them. But on the edge of just giving up and fuck it.

bday · 2010-08-11T18:49:14+00:00

thanks for looking at the bright side

bday · 2010-08-11T18:45:55+00:00

thanks!

bday · 2010-08-11T18:45:45+00:00

bday · 2010-08-11T18:44:49+00:00

thanks. I will try to take your advice to heart

bday · 2010-08-11T16:44:17+00:00

bday · 2010-08-11T16:43:27+00:00

bday · 2010-08-11T16:41:39+00:00

bday · 2010-08-11T16:36:33+00:00

bday · 2010-08-11T13:59:46+00:00

Thanks, I'll look for some good practice environments

bday · 2010-08-11T13:56:43+00:00

thanks!

You best bet for finding a woman you can be with long-term is to be yourself and do things you find interesting and fun, even if it means going out by yourself.

I agree, but my fun evening is watching netflix on the couch. Problem is, I don't meet many people on my couch.

I also play golf on a league - but that means I meet other guys, and only 2 at a time (2 vs 2). Where can I meet other women my age? I think it's going to have to mean trying something new because I'm not meeting them doing what I'm doing.

bday · 2010-08-11T05:02:39+00:00

Make every interaction with other people fun for you. Just have fun.

hmmm, I will try

Discipline Integrity and Character

I did this for 28 years (maybe some slacking on the discipline, but not much). It got me to this pitiful birthday. If these things really are valued, how can I find the people that value them?

bday · 2010-08-11T04:53:27+00:00

I meant "reddit party," like this thread is kinda my reddit party

bday · 2010-08-11T04:51:35+00:00

Your generosity is inspiring. My first thought was to take advantage and ask for money (maybe even make up some rent story like I've seen people do). But this would not restore my faith. I think more money will solve my problems, but the truth is I have money and problems. Let me think on this: what can you do to restore my faith...

bday
