How do normies get so many friends?
I am a loner as it stands but even before I can only ever remember having 2-3 what i would describe as actual friends at one time

These people have HUNDREDS. 135 happy birthday messages on Facebook, 1k friends on FB, 300 plus contacts in their phone, etc

Some of these are unemployed people, single mothers, disabled people. Most are not even over 40. Where do they even meet this amount of people?

Not real "friends"

Real friends are rarer than you think.

Most people only think they have friends. No one really does.

The closest thing to a friend you're ever going to have is a spouse. Even then it's questionable.

It is hard to be a good friend to more than two or three people. Friendships require real interaction. Those that have a lot of social media friends spend a lot of time at their computer.It is the elderly and disabled that seem to be on it and rely on it. No different then sitting in front of your computer. Really if you truly are enjoying life you are not taking pictures. Last few trips I went on I rarely took picture and enjoyed the scenery. Social media can be helpful by sharing information quickly and great live encyclopedia. Friends and followers are not real- same with texting friends. In person or phone call is real. Social Media interaction has made us lonely.

Re: How do normies get so many friends?
First off, they don't say stupid shit like "normies."

:|

Secondly - if you believe that those are "friends," I'm truly shocked. Most people wouldn't define the people that they "know" on Douchebook as friends.

If you have 1 or 2 people that you can trust, that you would designate as "chosen" family.. THOSE are friends. If you want anything less than that, and if quantity matters more than quality, then I'm confused and sad for you.

I mostly agree.

But I have had 5 close friends in my life.

2 of which are solid.

Real friends are not easy to come by, and you are very lucky if you have one or more at all times throughout your life. Superficial friends are a dime a dozen. They are meaningless when times get tough, and they can be a real drain on your time and your peace when things are going good.

Because they're sheeple who don't seek out doom. They have more time to make friends and have normal lives.

It seems really sad. But in fact it's not. It's quite relieving. Family alone has enough pressures without outside interference.

Once we accept this little bump in the road it's a lot easier to accept people and "love" them regardless of whether or not they love you. In fact...once learned you really could care less what they think about you.

Another thing that is strange is that you'll find people you like...that absolutely despise you. Weird...I know.

I'm not having the best relationship with most of my family either, so I thought my friends were my family.

Boy, was I wrong!

Opie, to make more friends you have to go out and socialize and hang out with people and talk with people and have fun. That's the big secret.
