Pokii Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Probably a few friends irl that has similar interest to me, but I'm relatively a shy one so I don't contact my friends sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Admittedly I've drifted away from most of the friends I made throughout the years due to moving suburbs, different jobs and perhaps overcommitting myself at times. I do still keep in touch with 2-3 people from time to time. Â I think as you get older it definitely becomes harder to make new friends outside of work.

SpaWnAge Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I am the person who wants to have friends, i got lucky and i have a bunch that really stick there for a lot of time! Well, i have the lover, the whiner (he knows it), the musician, the "cuties" (secretly evil) and the asshole (well, he likes it) (three of them love animes so its was easier ), and me, i am mostly the athlete there we are so different but still, i am happy to have them! Lately with some of them, we are in different cities so we try keep contact once in a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidenTheBloodEdge Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'm quite a distant, silent person so I find it hard to keep in touch with IRL friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Bunny of Doom Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I have a few friends irl but I find friendship very tiring... people expect things from you and you expect things from people and it usually turns into a mess. Plus, I'm so terribly weird, some days I'm like: 'I love you and I wanna hug you' and others I'm like: 'I hate you all, don't talk to me'. Therefore, I prefer not to get too close to people since I'm the one who causes trouble. I feel so sorry for the ones who have to put up with me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VXDragonSlayer Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 My friends are well crazy guys we generally chat about games and stuff like minecraft other than that we do normal male stuff i don't get out a lot i prefer playing games and watching anime but my friends are cool at school though crazy, i also have japanese friends to though online mostly on skype! Â I'm quite a distant, silent person so I find it hard to keep in touch with IRL friends You just made me think something interesting weirdly this poped into my head everyone on this forum has the nice atmosphere like anime character's so it shows we gain personality from watching anime and it could lead up to you getting load of real life friends but i guess its a confidence and self esteem problem ( ik this because im like this) i deal with the hardships by watching anime its as if anime characters are my friends weirdly does any one else feel like that or is that the root to your problem? Â and maybe your to shy too show your "anime" personality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (three of them love animes so its was easier ) Having a common interest always helps indeed! Â I have a few friends irl but I find friendship very tiring... people expect things from you and you expect things from people and it usually turns into a mess. I think I feel this way too. During work I already find it tiring defusing situations and "keeping the peace". Anyone that has worked in customer service in a support department will know what I mean. Â i also have japanese friends to though online mostly on skype! A good opportunity for language and culture exchange right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could draw that well.....I got the Gosick pic off the internet and my friend drill sent me the pic of Taiga and I used Word Art and MS Paint to put it all together. It's nothing special. Â Getting back on topic. Â The most important thing about friendship is loyalty. The friends that are loyal to you are the ones that won't abandon you when times get tough. They are the ones you can pour your heart out to and trust.

Evil Bunny of Doom Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Â The most important thing about friendship is loyalty. The friends that are loyal to you are the ones that won't abandon you when times get tough. That's quite true...but the opposite is also true. People who are not be really fond of you might be of help in times of need, cause, hey, we're all human after all. I think true friendship is tested in times when you are at your best. A real friend is someone who will be happy with, and not envy your own hapiness or worse, try to bring you down. And I believe that's harder, because people tend to be greedy and selfish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Like no friends AT ALL?? I find it a bit hard to imagine....Not even a single one??? don't you get lonely? There's a few people I chat to online, but I don't do anything like play games with them or get in voice calls or whatever. Wouldn't consider them friends. Hardly talk to them to begin with. I'll go weeks without talking to anyone, it's very relaxing. I've never had any friends and I was never brainwashed to believe friendship is the #1 thing in the world like the majority seems to have been, so no, I'm not lonely. I actually incline all people to become more like me. Such social independence is nice. There's no such thing as peer pressure for me, nor is there any stress caused from socialising. The only problem is that I get bored a lot, but I've tried playing games with others and being silly and trying to have a good time, but I'm so set in my ways that I couldn't even enjoy it. But that's fine with me, since keeping to myself is satisfactory already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Just advising I have merged the Friendship is a way to express your interests not your acting thread into Friends In Real life as they are very similar topics. Â Such social independence is nice. There's no such thing as peer pressure for me, nor is there any stress caused from socialising. Hard to argue with that indeed - friendship is an ongoing commitment after all. Â My personal situation at the moment is due to work, personal development and hobby commitments (Anime Forums counts too ) I find just text chat is enough to stay in touch with the smaller number of close friends I have, with the very occasional outing. It seems the older you get the more commitments you have and you have to manage your time well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I do believe those few friends I have are important. I guess different people have different needs. I, personally, get super nervous if I'm alone outside of home (I can't even speak properly to people cause my voice gets all shaky and squicky... imagine if someone asked me for directions or something ) so having a couple of people around me that I feel comfortable with is essential, otherwise my life would be a nightmare. I just don't have the mental strength to not have friends, especially since I don't get along that well with my family either...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I just don't have the mental strength to not have friends You would have developed it if you had grown up without any. Humans adapt very well to the situations they are placed in. Between heredity passed down to me and the way things were for me growing up, I believe it is likely I'm straight-up schizoid.

Ace Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Damn! This thread is depressing! But hey! I don't have a lot friends either. I left the country, so most of my friends are halfway around the world. I have new friends now, but they're not as cool as my other friends back home. Still, my new friends are still good! I have a few good ones here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSL29 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Friends? Sorry, but can you say it in English? ok put my stupid joke aside. I guess I have some friends, but well probably I only have 2 close friends. We are kind of in a group, 1 female and 2 males, they are all human I guess. I hope it didnt turn out like white album 2 . Â well technically wa2 is 2 girls 1 boy but yeah. Â 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
