>>10880 It's too hard atp almost everyone's performative, I'm struggling with this too What're your interests hikarin

Honestly im lucky im just surrounded with people like me somehow, idk tho i just see someone drawing or looking at a charater i know and just like.. come up to them- or if i think they might be nice. (I only come up to people i see often tho so dont think im brave or sum)

>>10880 I consider it impossible considering the circumstances, but who knows, yours might be different.

i was thinking about that. I found some peoples 'cause i need go to outside and i need talk to peoples. So between 1 and 10, i find someone with same interests as me.

>>11573 i find it rare and hard, and maintaining a relationship is the hard part, unless they are a cashier

>>11578 i think you just need know how to talk to peoples. If you know how to talk to people, you can find people with the same interests as you. whether between 1 to 10 or bewtween 3 to 10.

i met about 10 people i know online in total but that's also how i got abused twice by the same person, so i dunno if i can recommend that ptsd aside it does work most of the time

Can't relate to people online, let alone IRL. I just gave up on it a long time ago. When dealing/interacting with people IRL over a sustained period of time I treat it as stories with chapters I store in a journal in my head. If I had to put the feeling into words, I'd say feels like an historian analyzing and taking notes of the possible interpretations. >>11578 Wholly agree that unless it's a functional relationship it feels incredibly hard to maintain 'organic' relationships. I genuinely wish I had a surfeit of discretionary income to occasionally rent 'friends' or 'girl/boyfriends'. I find the transactional and scheduled nature of the thing honest and soothing.

>>13110 i think you'd be pressured to get your money's worth, and it wouldnt be enjoyable
