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 day 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. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Self-induced schizophrenia called "tulpa" is certainly one approach

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 day ago (1 children)

Pls text before you teleport.

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.

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 day 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 day ago

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

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

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

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

I am in this picture and I don't like it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I am also in this picture, please get out of my picture

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What did you do with them after you met them?

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

we each go to separate rooms and sext each other.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Seriously. I'm often a few metres away and still text. Especially if I like that person a lot.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I fell in love with the first one, and still am, after 5 years, despite them ending the friendship after a year. Then we had contact again and broke it after a few weeks. A dozen times. And now I met the second introverted nerd, very nice and very cute, but I'm just scared it will end like the first time.

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

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

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

I have seen many anime with this premise exactly

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I'm waiting for that day.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They better have brought Mario Kart N64 game and setup with them if they are really my future love.
