You probably get that negative voice in your head that shits on you all the time, and practicing positive thinking legitmatley helps and rewires how your brain looks at life and problems.

Everything meek_manlet said is true and what I was going to say Bless you meek_manlet haha that's weird

Find the Cain and Abel voices in you is a first step to see irl changes

lmao no worries man. A lot of us guys have to deal with this shit and it's a vicous cycle that's hard to break. but it isn't impossible and you posess the power and ability to change your life for the better. No matter how hopeless and shitty things seem, there is always an option to take. I've always told myself that if I'm dead, I'm still in the game and I can still win

*not dead

It just seems so unfair to me, I'm not a bad looking guy, I'm actually really handsome and have considered modeling (I'm not sperging just being honest) and I'm a genuinely a caring and intelligent person, but everyone I see around me, just seems so distasteful and unapproachable so I've never been able to make any friends. I'm a fairly buff guy, I work out and eat healthy, I read, I study and work hard in school and plan on going to law school. I know I sound like Elliot Rodgers, I really do, but I'm just not the type of guy to play video games all day and hate others for not wanting to be my friend. I just want to know WHY it's hard to have friends

Hey

I'm 22 and I've had depression for about four, five years now.

Guess what? with the internet you've just made some new friends.

It's a bit sad that the only way to make friends for me, is to find those with similar political views

I've seen a psychiatrist and have taken some medication for it. The first thing you need to ask yourself is this : What do *you* think is causing your depression? @Anti-rednibba

A big part of it is genetic, my father has very bad depression as well

It's the world we live in right now brother

I'm almost the complete oppositte. I'm 5'5'', overweight, and I have physical deformities. Making friends can be daunting but sometimes it takes time and work to connect with people. Try to get involves with common interests and activities and try to be conciousley inviting and conversational with people - even if they can be insufferable.

Chaos

Same here. I have a history of suicide in my family.

But that doesn't really explain it.

That just means you are more prone to it

If depression was a person, it would have an easier time catching you, basically.

Do you think it's your lack of a social life that is causing your depression, or do you think it's something deeper?

Another part, which actually ties into this server, is that I've grown up in a 99% black community and school system, so I've always had a stigma around me for being the white kid

Sorry to dump all my problems, it's just been a really bad day

Don't apologize, mate.

it's cool dude

Im 16 and ive been pretty fucking depressed since i was like 15 or 14. I used to be a huge normie conservative but once i got really redpilled ive been super fucked up. Its really hard for me to function around other people and i find it harder and harder to be around my friends

What do you mean when you say people are unapproachable? I suggest not having too high standards of people, since you might not be very approachable yourself. You're going to always be disappointed if you think people need to have certain qualities before you can talk to them

I used to think I was depressed because I didn't have a fine maiden to call my own, but when I was 20 and at university, I started doing casual dating, and that lead to casual sex. That didn't solve anything.

@Orchid as in, I'm never worried about what other people are worried about, I find no interest in the things most people talk about, or how they act, getting drunk, petting every chance they get, having sex with whomever they want, it all just seems so foreign to me

*partying every chance

I actually have a wonderful girlfriend that I love, isn't a roasties and is very traditional

Apply your time to learn new skills rather than people because when you search for those skills you will eventually find those other people who are like minded in the area.

She's one of the few things that I can genuinely say makes me happy

ah i see, then you need to reconsider where you meet other people

@Jelly Jiggler I guess that's why it's so easy to make friends in political communities we share

Lol

haha

thing about adulthood is that grownups are very good at segregating eachother, dumb people will always hang around other dumb people, and smart people will always find each other,

I feel you nibba, that's a huge part of young people culutre. Jelly is right, getting out there and getting involved with various interests will increase your likelehood of meeting more likeable people.

I have a pretty personal question, and you don't need to answer it if is too invasive. Do you watch porn? @Anti-rednibba

I'm hoping this type of segregation you're talking about will be noticeable in college, because I start that soon

@Lorenzo Yeah I do
