Re: And what if it's just that nobody likes you?

(Anonymous) 2012-09-20 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a geek who has a really hard time making friends with non-geeks (in fact, I've yet to make even moderately close friends with anyone who's not at least somewhat geeky). However, I've managed to make a decent circle of friends after moving to a city where I knew exactly one person.

The trick for me was joining the RPG club at the college nearby. It gave me an excuse to talk to people for a couple of hours with a purpose, after which point they were no longer terrifying strangers. I made a couple good friends there, and from that point got a social circle.

I've also lately had good luck with meetup.com. Depending on where you live, you might be able to find several groups you've got at least something in common with, and hopefully at least some of them would be people you can be friends with.

Personally, being in a context where people are either openly trying to meet people, or have some specific reason to start talking works a lot better for me than... I don't know, sitting in public reading a comic book and hoping someone's geek-dar pings and they come talk to me.

It can take a while, though. The RPG thing didn't occur to me until after a couple of really lonely terms at grad school, and it took another couple months before I started hanging out with anyone outside of club. But it did work eventually!
