>>38521881I have both. Even in darker times when I felt alone and wanted to get better at it, I saw other people who did have friends and asked myself, “How do I get to be like them?” instead of “Fucking normies, REEEE.”
In all seriousness, the moment I changed my worldview about this all was when I was in middle school. I realized I was an annoying prick, and if I became less annoying it would be easier to make friends. Every stage of my life since then,
I’ve been worse at socializing and making friends than most people, but always better at it than I was before.
So I get what it’s like. But it’s also why I truly despise people who want to shit on people who are better at making friends than them. Don’t seethe at them, watch them and learn from them.
