Two weeks ago, I saw the loner at the table of an event. Went to go talk to them because they were alone for a while.
In less than 10 minutes, they made a offensive joke that would have insulted half the people here, and complained about their living situation unprompted.
Idk why in imagining them telling a version of the aristocrat's and then saying, "So anyway, that's my roommates."
IDK man, the people with no or few friends tend to be weird but not really bad in any meaningful way: socially awkward, shy, odd interests, neurodivergent etc. Difficult to get to know, plain and simple. People with a lot of friends are often worse people, manipulative and/or have a transactional attitude to relationships
Idk man, the people with no friends and the people with a lot of friends and even the people with a middle amount of friends seem to follow a standard distribution of personalities.
Some awkward people and some charismatic people just suck. Some awkward people and some charismatic people are awesome. But most of all, people are just kinda shades of in-between.

And when it's not any of those cases then that person has a horrible pattern of behavior. I've learned this lesson way too hard.

It’s the risk you take. I’ve met some of the most interesting people this way. If you go into it with an open mind and understand that usually it’s not going to work out, you’ll be better for it.

not to brag, but i've graduated from not befriending friendless people to driving away friended people who try to be friends with me
less people, ~~less~~ fewer drama
*fewer
thanks new friend! fixed
Perfect lmao
Fewer would only be used in this case if drama was plural. Fewer dramas vs less drama
I was referring to fewer people lol.
Really though the jury is kind of out with fewer/less in a lot of situations, but a strict rule would probably say "fewer people, less drama". The real contradiction is "15 items or less", which should really be "15 items or fewer" but the former is so well established now it won't go away.

Happened to me a few years ago, started in a new office and one of the guys seemed cool so we talked more frequently. Ended up helping him get the apartment upstairs from me because his lease was expiring and carpooled to work. That's when the clinginess started, couldn't go half a day without him always texting or calling over stupid shit and borderline unhinged behaviors. I distanced myself real quick from him. The final straw was when he had asked what "village" my girlfriend was from in Brazil, then doubled down when I called him out for assuming she was from some uncontacted Amazonian tribe. "Well you havent been there yet so you don't know lol" yeah ok fuck you, dude. Haven't talked to him since, even though he still lives upstairs.
Anxiety sucks, or is there different reasons why I don't have irl friends?
Yeah I'm deleting this. Not comfortable with what I said based off a "few people I know"

There are a lot of lonely people in the world. Too many of them deserve it.
Too many?
I had a brilliant idea for a app during college. It connected self-identified lonely nerds with other self-identified lonely nerds. Like "Oh you like anime, here is this other guy, and here are five events you can attend together." I was hoping for that Zuckerberg money if this app was a hit.
I ran it through a test trial with a dozen pairings of them in my college campus to see if it had value.
And yeah, a lot of the feedback was that the other person was kind of annoying/intolerable. Which was funny when both of them said that about each other.
We don't really get scolded for bad behavior anymore, we just have people go "Okay, bye" for the last time. Especially progressives do this.

yeah, I'm the person 🙈
The person going "Ewww this person is toxic" or the other side?
the other side. the toxic or boring one or whatever it is
Can relate; have friend who I somewhat wish I never met
I'm 40 and I don't even use the friend label unless they earned it now.
Facebook really damaged that word for me.
