I just wish getting new friends wasn't this hard. I have some serious problems connecting with people, most of the time people I meet just feel so plain boring and more like an interactive scenery. Often it's just a chore to talk to them, pretending to care, forcing myself being nice to them. I couldn't care less if they died the next day which is weird because in return people tend to like me right of the bat and might even consider me a friend.
There's the occasional dude I like and feel like we're on the same wave length but it's just so hard for me to properly open up to people like this. It just takes so much time building up trust. Many take this as a sign of disinterest on my part and move on.
On the bright side I have some guys at my job now who invited me to board game night after work. Three people who I feel comfortable around and genuinely enjoy their company. Similar interests, no kids or other obligations. Maybe there's potential for some new long lasting and healthy friendships here, we'll see.
Thanks for this thread OP, simply typing this shit out made me feel better already.
