I really need help with this part of my life!
    #8212574 -

I need to get this out, and if you’re a caring individual knowledgeable about such things im begging you to help me.

I officially called it quits with the girl I have been involved with for 6 years. Three years ago I moved to a new city and I haven’t made many new friends.

I feel like I used my long distance relationship with me ex to exhaust all of the social interaction I required. Now im in this city, and though I have been here for years I feel like I just moved in a week ago. I don’t know anyone.

I have been hooking up with this chick that I met here but she’s just soooo not my type. I’m attracted to her, but she just isn’t open minded about who I am, she’s uncomfortable when I talk about psychedelics, and she doesn’t like the music im into. (Maybe those are petty things for a 23yr old man to be concerned about but I am). She also won’t ever stay the night because she still lives at home with her parents, so I always have to sober up and take her home. I’m basically seeing a 22yr old woman with a godamn curfew.

Onto my major problem, I live in a neighborhood that would probably make some of the people here jealous. (I’m not tooting my own horn, instead im using this to show how pathetic I am.)

I’m right across the street from a university with 35000 enrolled students. I’m with in walking distance to more than a dozen bars, my neighborhood is an old run down historical district that is described as the most “liberal” area in my entire state. I just took a walk, and literally walking down the street on a Saturday night I saw at least four houses playing cool music reeking of weed. That’s just how it is down here, it’s a hippie culture. Lots of educated folk, professors, Artists, writers, hippie college students ect…

I walk around my neighborhood and I see all of these people, (friends) walking house to house and enjoying themselves. And they all look so godamn cool. Yet they are so out of reach.

Now, I do have friends, but they are nearly an hour drive away on the other side of the city. I never get to see them.

I need to get into my neighborhoods crowd, and I need this desperately, so desperately that I am getting very depressed and discouraged about it. I need this, I need friends, I can’t just stay on my fucking computer on the fucking shroomery all godamn night anymore. I need a woman, a real woman that understands me, and not just a fuck like I have now. I need this people.

So look at my situation, I have no one but myself to get myself out there. What do I do? How do I make friends with these people? Sounds easy right? Bunch of drunks roaming the streets, smoking weed in the alleys having fun. It’s not easy. It’s really not easy.

And so you know, these aren’t like major parties; these are a chain of small “get-togethers”. Way smaller than just walking up and saying hey.

Best way to become friends with those folk is by going to school or getting a job downtown.

Otherwise, I don't see you becoming friends with them. Is it that big of a deal?

I bet if you lived in Alaska surrounded by wilderness you wouldn't be nearly as depressed. This sounds like an ego thing. Look at them and look at me.

Easily extract some DMT and mescaline, then offer it for free to these "cool" kids and you are in! All of a sudden you are the fuckin man around town!

Welcome,
to the machine.


The world is scary, beautiful, horrific, pleasureful, disgusting you get the point - everything you can imagine can and does happen.

You can't make the people of the world fit your ideas, you can only seek out like minded people.

I hate most of this shit too. I just ignore it now. Its quite amusing to see all these people running on animal instincts like machines without ever applying the intellect and freedom we all have.

Every now and again you meet someone else that has realized and have a good old conversation that is truly interesting for once. Instead of talking about what you had for tea last night.

Maybe roll a joint and blaze up with those people in the alleyways. Try to start up a conversation with them when you do it.

ditch the idea of wanting 'in' with 'these people'

that is bad medicine.

instead, yes, you want to be more sociable and find like minded people amongst your neighbours and town.

choose something you like doing

i dont know, if i were a writer id start a writers group
if i were a musician id look for people to jam with

whatever you do, start some shit. leave a note around coffee shops etc saying lets start doing this, join this.
be proactive, be the one to begin. enjoy what comes of it

and chill, its cool

be at peace with the pace of your life when it may begin to grow.

my main point in all this: dont sacrifice your integrity to make 'cool' friends, or any friends at all even

you could end up friends with jerks or something

just make some moves like i suggest and you'll attract some like minded people :smile:

Most people develop social interactions through things other than partying. Don't you work with anyone remotely similar to yourself? Do you have any other hobbies/interests?

If all your interested in is partying and doing drugs then maybe your not as deep as you think you are.

While building relationships on drugs is not always the best plan of action, you could use weed as a social tool to connect with people, and once you're smoking you can talk with them to get to know them.

I think it’s pretty silly to make a comment like that.

Or perhaps I come off as some deep philosophical tard on my own. Unless this is something that comes of naturally in my writing, I don’t honestly know where you came up with that comment.

I don’t work, I go to school full time. I’m too old to be in sophomore classes (23, I started school late), and im surrounded by incredibly smartass kids that have no life.

I’m in an Engineering program, not only are my peers younger than me but they cant communicate with people like me at all. (Picture the president of the Math club at your old highschool) I’m in class every day with 50 of those…

I would take extra classes that would have cool people in them, but with tuition what it is, I cant stand to take classes that I don’t need.

I’m not blaming everybody else for my problems, I know its me, but at the same time im not exactly in the best position to remedy it either.

I can understand where you are coming from I have lived in my city for about two years now and just in the past 2 or 3 months started to make friends it has been torture for me because I feed off having friends given it has been easier because I have a mate but I work with a bunch of old farts
I would try taking a fun class something you may have always wanted to try like framing, welding, cooking(good way to meet women) whatever, you name it
being in a classroom setting can get you familiar with some people who may have similar interest and it is much better than meeting people because of drugs and it will give you something to think about other than being lonely
it is kinda sad because my mate and i would go out to artsy social settings and i would just walk up to people and try to start a conversation and most would look at me like i was a nuisance or just plain crazy good luck

Hey man I just read your post and can sympathize. I've moved every 3 years or so of my life and sometimes find myself in that situation of no strong friendships and such. If you really want to meet people, I recommend jobs, schooling, volunteering, clubs, seminars, sports, anywhere you might go where people organize and/or have common situations. Shit, even riding the bus the same time every day might lead to meeting new people. It's easy to feel shitty when you live side by side with millions of people and feel like you're separated by some fictional boundary.

One thing about girlfriends too is they can be addicting. I know in the past I've made the mistake of spending too much time and attention on a girlfriend or two. In fact when I started going out with the last girlfriend I had I'd just stopped smoking weed and basically replaced one addiction with another.

I just moved again this past August but moved with one of my best friends and his friend. Living with a few good people and not just alone is great for social life. Since moving here I've gone to a lot of underground shows, house parties, and bars that I would have never had the opportunity to go to had it not been for my roommates (It also helps having roommates when you run out of weed).

Working on a hobby or two is good too. I've been working on gardening which has been very rewarding and I get outside for a lot of fresh air and have even met some neighbors simply because I'm in the front yard while they're around. I've also been playing music, which is great for connecting with new people without having to speak.

...or maybe you should get a pet :-P

Anyways good luck. I'm sure these feelings will pass and if you read your initial post in a few weeks you'll already be over it and think it's dumb.

i've lived in this city for 3 years and i haven't made a single friend, and i dislike almost every person i meet in the sense i think they're dumb hicks.

i completely took having friend's for granted... i thought i had few, but now that i have none i realize holy shit i was relatively cared for and loved.

the way i met people in my last city was by walking up to strangers and saying dumb shit like "hey can i follow you around"
