Have you started avoiding online socialization? I'm not even sure why I find it so repulsive now

People fucking hate getting swarmed with messages
Heavy proliferation of mail services resulted in Victorian era people fucking hating and dreading having to reply to or respond to missives, letters and invitations, electronic telegraphy (aka the telegram or telegraph and Morse code) was eagerly anticipated because you could respond to somebody very quickly and without having to write a fucking letter back; and most especially because the longer a message got, the more costly it was to send, so everybody kept it brief for sane costs

your a looser

yeah I find myself not engaging with people online because they're esl third worlders like

I have a lot of buddies that will bug the shit out of me to play some braindead bullshit BR or whatever the second they see me come online. To avoid the ding to our friendship, when playing a single player game I go invisible or offline. I'm only online when I feel like playing with others, the way it should be.

I never had it in the first place.
I have 5 friends on a 15 year old steam account, none of which I talk to, ever.
If someone sends me an invite in anything, I just ignore it forever.

I never go invisible because I've only got one friend who ever messages me and that's only like twice every couple of days.

>online """friends"""
good one

>technical issue, have to restart PC
>steam automatically sets me to online
>receive message within the 15 seconds it takes me to appear offline
>same guy does this every time
JUST TEXT ME, STEPHAN

the only socialization i get in life is from 4channel😔

I thought that was a wierd OC version of mass effect omni-tool dog.

they're pointless and extremely ephemeral, I've had several groups split up and none of us end up playing the same kind of games ever again. Entire guilds just die out. It's all pointless so I avoid it unless it's absolutely necessary.

>Get on discord
>Get to know people
>Hang out with hot gamer girls 24/7
>Added one of them on Instagram

She's coming to my city this Wednesday bois.

>she

Tell us how big her dick is

No one talks anymore because in-game voice chat options became less and less involved because of external programs and people talk to their friends in Discord while turning off game audio, and other people don't want to talk in game chat because everyone is a special snowflake who gets offended by everything and gets into arguments instead of just muting people.
Matchmaking instead of private servers is of course a big part of why this problem happened.

I just don't want to deal with other people. Not IRL, not online. Robots can replace almost everything for all I care. I just wanna chill by myself.

>Accept and talk to them about a game

I only socialize with close friends not randoms

...

i play arma 3 and everyone talks

>adding people from Any Forums
what did you expect?

everyone think they're streamers nowadays, it's so obnoxious

They weren't from Any Forums, though.

I put myself as invisible on steam because I only want friends to message me randomly to play stupid shit on my terms, which is never. (I have friends in RL and we make plans via texts etc anyway).
I am in a discord server for a game I play and I mostly don't engage with the people who are perpetually online and sit in the voice chat all day.

What mentall illness causes someone to add everyone as a friend and then block everyone a few months later, rinse and repeat? Because that's me.

>WOW bro 200 hours in Elden Ring, didn't it only come out a month ago?
>I tried it for 20 minutes but with my new job I have no time to play
>What are you doing now? Still unemployed? When are you going to get a job? Don't you want to work and get a life?

How do I make friends online?
I thought talking with other people online would be easier, but I still struggle to make friends as well maintaining online friendships
Talking to others online has made me realize that not everyone likes vidya as much as you do.
And yes, I talk with other people on Discord since it's the only non-anonymous place I use where I freely talk to others

i'd add you without talking about schizo shit
what games do you play?

I never really socialized on the internet since I have a really bad phobia of getting doxxed

I abandoned my online friends. Again. Again. Again. Again.

thanks for the rare pepe, user
👌
