This.
Lionskull
the problem is that you have to realize that other people are not like that.so if you want to be friends with them you have to put in effort

Nope. I am sadly one of the people who doesn't understand.

My best friend and I hang out once every 2-3 weeks and we are perfectly content with that.
EmotionallyTransparent
How many of you feel this way that also work a job that requires you constantly assist people/customers directly? We're you more social b4?
whytell
I experience this
IcandowhateverIlike
I crave social stimulation but my lack of strong social structure leaves me perpetually lonely and self loathing. I've lost friends to this.
JhericFury
I've lost friends over that, and i don't blame them either. I know that some people are fine with that, but others aren't, and ignoring -
JhericFury
-that is bad, they were my friends, and i should have tried harder.

Did... did I write this?
LauraJ87
And this is why I have no friends. :( depression sucks
EmotionallyTransparent
Is it depression if you are happy being left alone?
LauraJ87
I'd say yes as the loneliness quickly turns into sadness and isolation ????
Spearmintpuddings
So how is someone supposed to know in which mood you are then? Constantly asking without proper replies doesn't sound reasonable at all

crazyladyinahurricane
My problem comes when you are trying to talk to them and they won't reciprocate
Bombideer
Similar with me. I wouldn't like that you don't talk with me for weeks on end, but I'll be happy that you do eventually.
ARandomGentleman
Yes. I gave a few good friends. We talk somewhere between a fee times a year and a few time a week

Were you having a stroke when you wrote this?

Sorry to hear that

I can happily not talk to people for a long time. I also don't hold grudges that people don't talk to me.

DAMMIT YOU DIDNT RESPOND TO MY COMMENT FROM TWO MINUTES AGO!! I'LL HATE YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!
LincolnSiixEcho
EmotionallyTransparent
I agree. 100% my missing human contact urges are few and far between but at the same time I don't lose emotional closeness to ppl.
idontknowmostlyjustlurking
Yes.
corsettedconfectioner
I am similar ... I own a business and spend about 80-90hrs a week working ... im just too tired to respond
BaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaBATMAN
I hope you have plans to step down somehow, or you're literally going to work yourself to death.
corsettedconfectioner
The first year is almost over so maybe in like another 2 or 3
PirateRubberDuck
Weeks? I do that for months. I don't think it is a good thing though.
makingwoofles
It all comes down to if you're willing to put any effort into our friendship.. If you can't/ don't want to, then I shouldn't either :/
capughe
I am like this with everyone except my boyfriend, who I miss after a day or less.
EmotionallyTransparent
How I feel more social people react to me with their need for human contact.
AbsoluteVirtue
I just prefer that when I attempt to talk to people who are like this they talk back. Even if it's to tell me they don't feel like talking
angelicyokai
Yes, this.
thefrompleman
Yeah but even then, telling people you don't want to talk can be met with a lot of negativity, people act as if you're broken
EmotionallyTransparent
You would be surprised just how much talking is aimed at me when I tell someone I don't feel like talking... lol
coralto
People are so self centred, you say "I don't feel like talking" and they hear "I don't want to talk to you and also I hate your face"
TheCouldHaveBeenKing
oh, look at that, it's in words.
DrawSomethingEveryDay
that's me!
IthoughwhatIddowasIdpretendIwasoneofthosedeafmutes
Yeah that's me.
Isthe4thtimethecharm
I am 33 years old and still consider my high school friends to be close friends. I haven't talked to them or lived in the same state since.
goldensky
For many people, friendships are built on small frequent interactions. :-/
2niglets1pornocup
we should be friends @op and then never speak or hang out
RonSwansonsGirl
You guys need Ron Swanson as your mascot.
probablyandrew
Works for me, buddy
StripTheFleshSaltTheWound
I would also like to be part of this friendship, you'll never hear from me again.

Jowrdan
I'm friends with your father but havnt talked to him much since he left my mom too, also I'm his son. This makes us step brothers I think.
probablyandrew
Bro?
BigAdam
My problem is "I will only interact with you when I need something", like ... motherfucker,
DrCryptid
Yeah I do this so like when I need something from someone I'll spend an hour or two making small talk and then get what I need and disappear
kiwiflavored
I only interact with people when I need social contact. Does that count?
zishlol
What if I only interact with them when I need something, but I encourage them to hit me up any time, but they never *ever* do?
Bonejoints
Ahh man I do that :/ I just hate small talk and having an objective gives conversations a framework to work in
Icujle
Pretty much. I hardly know how to interact otherwise.
TheKillerMonkey
Yup, that be me
UpsideDownAirline
I know someone like that and it's the most annoying thing ever. The only time this person ever talks to me is when a friend of mine 1/
UpsideDownAirline
doesn't reply to their messages. It's like my only purpose is to tell my friend to reply to them. 2/2
probablyandrew
I don't like those people.

I am being downvoted for saying I dislike selfish motherfuckers? Classic Imgur.
