Introverts make friends by letting an extrovert adopt them.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Can confirm, my cousin adopted me and introduced me to their friends.

reminder to my fellow extraverts to treat their introvert extra well today, they might need it

LMAO what is this from? It looks hilarious!

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago

It's from the movie Animal House. :) One of my favorite scenes ever (because who hasn't been that kid? lol).

Worked for me! Roommate was throwing a party and my now-wife got dragged along to it by her friend

It's really hard to meet people because all the people I want to know are hiding from humanity.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I don't want the type of person I'd meet at a bar and there really aren't many events for things I'm into around me. The people I'd like are more than likely like me, hoping I'd teleport into their living room just the same.

I'm also in a terrible place for my personality. It feels like I'm in materialistic asshat conservative HQ, so there's that too...

A buddy of mine got his first girlfriend in college after a family friend noticed that his single niece also liked manga and anime and introduced the two. I was very jealous of his attractive, nerdy girlfriend-turned-wife for several years until I finally got on a dating site and found love for myself.

yes, because putting yourself out there just gets you yanked around by assholes -- ask me how I know.

Either Mr. Right will fall out of the great blue sky directly into my lap, or I'll die alone. But I frankly no longer have the will to really put effort towards that, anymore; and I can't fathom criticizing anyone else for deciding the same. Hell truly is other people.

I thought my problem was not going outside, but I recently saw a post about how most people meet online now.

So it turns out I just suck. That’s helpful to know

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Tbf that is helpful info

I remember being surprised to realize/remember that there are (were?) totally kids that will knock on a new neighbor's door to ask their parents if they could come out to meet them and play

Imagine.. taking action to put yourself out there and meet friends. That's kinda wild

I saw The Secret in high school and I've just been following its advice of wishing really hard. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Quantum physics proves the chance of this happening isn't 0. Maybe if they wait long enough?

how else would i meet commander will riker, if not a transporter accident?

That post's gotta chill with the personal attacks, geez.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ew, a stranger appearing uninvited in my house?

No, they can teleport to the driveway like a normal person, thankyouverymuch.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pls text before you teleport.

Man I feel personally attacked

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ive been going out more and looking at it as practice for when I meet someone I actually like. Id hate to run them off because I'm some kind of cave creature who can't interact right

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Have you not considered that you might run them off because you're a socially adroit cave creature that's out of their league?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

You're right, I'm defeating my own cause. Better get back to the cave and start chanting

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My SO was appointed directly into my room by a mutual friend, so it's not far fetched.

My spouse is a former roommate who more or less teleported into my living room.

...Along with 5 other people in a 2 bedeoom house.

But while it worked out for me I do not recommend it as a reliable strategy. We were lucky.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Nah. I'll just wait till I meet some other introverted, nerdy person. I already met a few.

You wouldn't like the sound of it if I told you.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Sounds like it's more hassle than it's worth.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

This actually works, but only if you are willing to sponsor a green card.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Ouch this one hurt, that's so fucking true 😔😔

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm fucking waiting!!

(Yet still need a notice, written notice, days ahead)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

I have seen many anime with this premise exactly

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sounds like an invasion of my privacy! I could be doing art at that moment, or some kind of lore deep dive. How rude to just teleport in like that!
