why don't redditors have friends?

from another thread

LPT: The easiest time to make friends in your life is in your teens or early 20's - usually School. It becomes exponentially harder later in life. The more friends, even casual ones, you can make in this time of life, the better chance you'll have enough friends in your 30's and 40's (and beyond)

Very indicative of the sentience level of the average user there, but not surprised

Also never understood the "it's sooo hard to make friends after college" meme that redditors have popularized, like literally just go out? I don't even go out with the intention of making friends but people flock to me and wanna befriend me all the time lmao. Oh wait I forgot... f a c e

And I 100% am sure when a redditor says 'friend' they don't mean like actual/close friendship, someone with which you can confide anything in, have deep convos with, etc. They mean someone with whom you can discuss the latest Marvel film or exchange fedora-hat-making-tips. They don't make the distinction of fake vs real friend because they're not actually real themselves.

weird, because I would assume the opposite. I see "redditors" everywhere. Logically, they'd have a much easier time making friends, with so many people sharing their semi-niche interests and worldview.




why is this? @MysteriousWeeb420 @AlbanianLegend1994

my guess would be that you would have to not only a "redditor" but have bottom 5% social skills, cortisol levels, confidence levels ect to be an active reddit poster. Like the weirdest non mentally disabled kid in a high school classroom

every redditor has high expectations from "their friend" to behave and communicate and talk a certain way. but every redditor also lacks these exact things they expect.
so they actually fail to communicate with one another in person and develop "that human bond" despite meeting up and sharing similar interests.

its the same thing as with above average guys struggling to get gfs, these struggling above average guys lack normal human communication skills and make it everything formulaic with the girl they're trying to get with.

the average person is not a redditor

redditors seem to hate everyone

the subreddits seem to be mini support communities for everyone to cry and lash out about how terrible everyone else is and receive pats on their back

it's no wonder they are friendless losers
