On a scale of 1-10 how much difficulty do you experience in making friends and why? For me it is a solid 10 because I've been friendless since middle school.

Been in uni for 3 years and haven't made a single friend there.
I've got AVPD so I'm entirely incapable of starting conversations with strangers, the only time I talk to people is when they repeatedly take the imitative to talk to me first. Only thing close to friends I've had for the past few years are roommates and coworkers, both people basically forced to talk to me by circumstance.
Really sucks being permanently in "can't speak unless spoken to" mode.

Probably like a 7? Idk it's pretty rough making new friends but I am lucky to already have a very solid friend group from high school, second year of uni and we are still regularly doing stuff together.
I met several new people here but they mostly turned to be utter cunts, but I finally learned to let go of ppl so it wasn't that horrible.

9. I made my first friend in 10 years two years ago. I often times get close, but I can not get them to go anywhere with me, and I feel like if a person will not hang out with me they must not actually be my friend and I am just getting confused because I am so alone.
Jordan Gonzalez
i think im a middle at 4
On on side I'm am extremely good in social situations and have climbed many a ladders
but on the other side it is all fake and i have never once felt loneliness or desired to have real friends
my desires are that of an animal, ranging from lust to violence to hunger, something which i cannot see the average person reciprocating

about a 9. Been out of high school for over 5 years and made no friends. But I have one or two true friends from high school still. the trick is to meet someone autistic as you. fuck being friends with normies

>I met several new people here
How? I hear of people befriending other channers but have no idea how it's done.

7 to 8 ish?
Outside service-personal bullshit, I simply do not talk to new people. I really do not see much point in it.
When circumstance force it or any halfway sane person approaches me, things usually take off at first.
But I am abysmal at caring or remembering about those people later. Unless its a single female that shows interest, why even keep them in mind? They are not going to be any major part of my life anyway.

About a 8.
I have trust issues and don't make a effort to remember people. So it take a lot of exposure for me to even let them leave a impression on me, for me to remember their name, and for me to open up enough for friendship to even be a possibility.
Like months of of interacting several times a week.
Even then I still don't really trust them. But they have gained enough favor with me that am willing to do small things for them without much expectation for them returning the favor since generally seeing their life go well makes me happy by proxy, and if I chosen well they do and feel the same.
At that point I will tentatively consider them a friend.
Only reason I don't put myself higher on the list is because I don't actively push people away or flat out avoid interacting with people.

about 3, I can make a friend wherever I am as long as they're in the same age group and we agree or both like a few things

Go make friends you foolish hikki
Lincoln Jenkins
Pretty much same here user. I stopped making lots of new friends at middle school. In high school I made one friend, and by the time I started college I had zero real life friends. I continually bled friendships as my life went on and everyone drifted away from me. To this day all my friends are online, though I get to meet up with them once a year which is nice.
So if its in real life, to answer the OP I'll say 9 or 10. If its online, maybe a 4 or 5. I am absolutely horrific at maintaining relationships though, its probably why everyone has left me. Unfortunately this seems to be a product of other mental issues I have because I have no desire to keep these relationships up and I don't feel bad when they die. I guess I just don't have any real desire for human contact so I don't put effort into it.

99% of people cant differentiate between friends and random acquaintance anymore.
Bentley Powell
I can make acquaintances pretty easily, but I can count the number of people I have been closer to on one hand, and pretty much nobody could be considered a long lasting friend or something. I have no interest in anything that goes farther than a casual/business relationship, in my experience anything more is nothing but even more headache and stupidity. I have enough on my plate as is and would rather be the guy you clown around with for a time before I inevitably go somewhere else and fade into distant memory.
Hudson Sanders
Ive unironically NOT made a single new friend from scratch in the last 6 years. Ive basically organized a friendsgroup with a lot of people I got to know back then in school (via the good old "annoy them long enough until they say 'alright lets be friends' and after reluctantly meeting up a few times actually become good friends") and then let it run its own course. Some friends left, some others brought new friends along and the friends of my friends became my friends too.
Even in Uni I already had someone to talk to who was coincidentally a good friend of a distant friend of mine meaning I was never alone at any point
If those bridges ever burn down by any way I will be fucked and friendless with next to no skills of how to make friends but until then Im in good company.
So Id say its a 7.

>befriending other channers
Last thing Id EVER do

I am a 28 year old friendless female neet and I haven't had another friend that was female since I was 16 and she literally abused me. My brothers are both normal I'm the only one in my family like this. I have a boyfriend but that's it and I'm a late bloomer I didn't even hold hands with a guy until I graduated highschool because literally everybody in my class hated me and I'm not exaggerating. I have been told that I seem stuck up, I think people thought that because I was quiet I thought I was better than them but I was actually deathly afraid of them. As an adult I have basically no social skills I tried to be a secretary for my aunt's business and I had to quit I would freak out and hang up on clients and beat myself in the bathroom and scream and cry because it stressed me out so bad. When I try and talk to other women online even so-called neets with mental problems they are ALWAYS super normal perfect women that I can't relate to and they other me and even girls that are newer to the groups will make friends and I literally just can't. Also if I try to make a male friend he hits on me even if he meets my bf so they arent real friendships I have tried multiple times to open my heart to people and I just suck at it. I expect my bf will break up with me eventually once he gets sick of being a with a womanchild

10/10 irl since I'm a hikkineet. No real hobbies that would force me outside and potentially meet other people either. Online I'd say 8/10 because I don't know where I'd even find people to talk to, I don't play multiplayer games anymore and most public spaces are really shallow and boring. If I do end up making a friend or two I always push them away for some fucking reason, I just wake up one day and decide I hate their guts. I do have 1 or 2 guys that stuck around so I'm kinda thankful but most of my social interactions are from my rare posts here.

Never referring to yourself or others as "channers" ironically or otherwise is probably a decent start.
