/tech/ - Technology★

Its just that the demand is not high enough and people prefer convenience over freedom

People are shit and online friends are not real friends. The only way to deal with loneliness is to get busy. Get a job, get a hobby, focus on mastery of your field. Everything else is a waste of time and a distration from reality.

I already do that except for mastering my field. I don't feel like it's worth it in the general sense.

You have to go out and make real friends, or at least meet people in real life. It's hard and you will have to compromise but it's worth it.

Any hobby that has a social aspect (sports, dancing, performing music, theatre, improv, etc.) and isn't too nerdy (assuming you would like to meet girls). According to >>945814 you have a job so that isn't an issue.

As for privacy oriented, this is a niche thing that will be hard to form a community around, I would suggest just spending a limited amount of time on this and not making it a central part of your life. That's what I do for politics. Don't make it an excuse for avoiding interacting with normies.

Just reprogram yourself to not feel lonely.

Can we reprogram ourselves for love?

This man is enlightened. It really is the key. Once you master your subject, interesting people will find their way to you.

The real quesiton here is why the fuck is honey being poured on that blue cheese? What the literal fuck

>This is getting increasingly harder without giving in to social networks.

I occasionally meet people who don't use social media, it's not such a big deal. But I'm 35 and hang out with mostly 25 - 40 year olds, maybe it's harder when you are in college.

>That only works if you have the right type of personality. I find doing those activities extremely energy draining.

This is normal, like going to the gym is tiring. The more you socialize, the more natural it will feel. And you will get better at identifying the kind of people you like to spend time with.

>The best thing to do is to just get very good at whatever your hobby is

There may be some truth to this, but it also sounds like "if your only tool is a hammer" reasoning. You enjoy certain (not very social) hobbies, and don't enjoy more social hobbies. You want to use the hobbies you enjoy as a means to meeting people, but this may not be as effective as doing things outside your comfort zone.

I understand where you're coming from and I've grown to realize that image boards are hyper destructive to your socializing. You don't bond with people here you just use them and move on never knowing them beyond 1 post at a time. It means the hours you used to spend on social sites where you would meet companions doesn't exist here. It's basically impossible to make friends on image boards.

I would recommend you compromise if your loneliness is getting this bad. Lower your security level a bit and use IRC or Discord or whatever it is you think will give you the best chance to make some online friends. You can then ditch the platform for a more secure way to communicate.

I have a weird problem in that my hobbies are /tg/ related. The others who also like it at often Chris-chan tier spergs. If I do my hobby I'm surrounded by people I find to be scummy and.. dregs of society. But my interests just aren't high quality people interests and my physical limitations prevent me from playing sports (not fat before you say lose weight fatty).

This is the problem with your type of person. Like your opinion matters on every subject since you have shared your simplistic idealistic opinion on one question. Thank you prof. Know It All for enlightening us all with your divine knowledge.

If someone doesn't contact you after revealing you don't have social media it is a good filter. Try to join a tech club and find people with the same secondary interests such as someone that's also into urban exploring that you can shit post about tech with as well.

theres telegram
