Terrible with friends...

WARNING: (The Slicke-man's not too happy and might've said something he'll regret later on.)


So yeah, I'm pretty terrible with friends.

Not just making friends; finding them, talking to them, and giving them stuff.
I'm severely strict to whom I consider a friend. I don't know about anyone else, but I do a thing where if I add you to a Steam friend list, then bam; I consider you a friend. But recently, I've come to reconsider most of whom I considered friends. I've had one guy who I would talk to all the time; almost everyday. But now, after months past, we barely talk as much as we use to. Hell, we haven't talked in months. He was always the one contacting me first, and I was always happy to talk. But when I ever contact him first, he always seemed uninterested, not in the mood to talk, or coincidentally, just about to head to bed.

Because of this trend, I've come to think, how exactly did we resonate with each other? We didn't have much in common, he never wanted to do anything fun with me, and we barely have many subjects to talk about. I could barely come up with any reason to talk with him. All this time I though he was friend just because we talked alot and that's it. And this didn't happen with just him, it happened with others as well.

I also can't even give gifts to them that they would give a shit about. I made one picture for a guy and all he did was complain about it until a called him out on it and I bought a game for someone else that they didn't even try out until it was free on Steam. So yeah, waste of money and time.

There are a lot of you that I would very much like be close friends with. But I just don't want the same thing to happen where we talk for a while, I come to realize that we possibly have nothing in common, and I just wish we never talked at all. It's gotten to a point where I just stopped trying to reach out to other and be social. I can't even be close friends with an artist for fuck sake; which is extremely depressing for me!

So right now, I'm going to clean out my friends list on Skype and Steam (not everyone). If we haven't talked in a while, or I don't feel like we resonate as friends, I'm cutting contacts with you. I'm sick and fucking tired of seeing your name pop up on the feed, only to wish that you would talk or want to do something; because Lord knows I can't contact people at a good time.

Some of you might call this a bit hasty...but I don't care at this point.

I'm always afraid of being like that guy you described. I hope you've addressed them directly about your concern.
In any case, I've definitely purged my friends lists more than a few times for similar reasons, so don't feel bad about it or anything. Making friends online who actually click with you is pretty hard.

... How old are you?
It's not a loaded question, I'm genuinely curious. Because this is something that, as you get older, you sort of piece together over time. Friends can very easily come and go. Some ride in on the waves of an interest, and whether they remain after that interest is gone determines just what kind of friend they are. Some endure, others wash away naturally. You really don't have to fret about it.

I feel like you did the right thing, especially with cutting off the "friend" who did nothing but complain about your gift, to me that sounds like a user and you are better off without him.  I've never been good at making friends either, in person or online, I think I have maybe 4 people I could call friends online,  one of which is drifting apart and the other I consider a good friend, and about 2 close friends in person and there's times where we piss each other off but I know push comes to shove they've got my back and vice versa.  I can understand the not contacting at a good time thing, I work night shift so my free time is when others are busy and vice versa so it can be hard to talk some but if they are actually wanting to be friends they'll make the effort instead of making it all be up to you.

I'm in the same boat as you. Only have 3 people on skype and steam 1 lol
But just remember making friends take time and sometimes when you stop looking they will find you. Someone told me that not sure if that's true?

I don't have your skyoe but I'd talk to you more if given the chance. I know we've had a few conversations on streams and they were present


Don't think it's extreme to clean out your list. Sometimes it's best to start with a mostly clean slate. Hope things work out for ya.

I've kept a promise to make anyone I come across smile especially you. There are some who's arrogance can only get them so far, and some whose ignorance will give them bliss. I guard those I see sad in any way possible, and the white knight I am of whom I care for. Weather I know them or not I acknowledge their pains through my experiences, and take it to heart to guide, and give them my advice. No one has to listen to me, and no one has to like me. I she'll live as equal as possible with society as it is. If people like who I am, and stay with me I'm proud that I was able to help someone in the first place.
Do I care for people just because it's a chance of art, or something greater? Somewhat. But I will always have a thought in my head that I care about you for something greater than art, or personality. You are human, and so am I. Women & Men are equal alike, and peace is such a simple answer to all problems in this world. Not everyone can see it as clearly as I can, but I hold on to my hopes and dreams to know some day. We will walk to our deaths proudly with no regrets.

We try to seek friends in everyone but sometimes it's not to be. Try just following people, observe them and see if they hold similar interests. Find out what games they play, view their art and read their comments. You can find out a surprising amount about someone just through their actions online.

What kind of games do you play on Steam?
