>>19569901>s fuckin nerdy as shit to recc a book in a ftl thread, but have you read Aristotle's Ethics? Books 8-9 are totally devoted to what friendship is, the kinds of friendshipsThat sounds pretty good. I've always tried to stay away from those self help books because it just reads like snake oil or obvious advice. But I have more respect for the greeks.
>>19569921Honestly I think I am fully aware of the social dynamics and how people work. And that might just be the problem with me meeting people because I go through all these situations in my head. This is why at times I WISH I was an autist so I can be blissfully unaware and lack social awareness, it's like being drunk all the time but you don't sound too silly.
>This could be your life. Just go outside for a few hours.I'm not giving up. My energy and will to make connections comes in spurts. I'll go out there. Right now I'm just hung up on this girl from this show I watched and I don't plan on dropping it until I get closure or some dramatic finale.
>>19569932I didn't have the need for friendship when I was younger and I would get sad about it when special events like a dance happened. But after fishtank ending I realized that being alone sucks.
