Quote:Here's a topic I wanted to get opinions on. When you have a friend, do you guys communicate on the reg, occasionally seeing what the other is doing for a weekend to go out and have a good time? 

 

I seem to have friends, but none ever communicate with me, so I wonder if they are just bad at the whole initiation of the fun thing, or if I'm boring, or what. 

 

For example if a friend of mine goes bowling with some of his friends, shouldn't said friend at least offer an invite as well? 

 

I'm bored out my mind. 

 

 

It's 6:06 PM. I am at work. It's somewhat slow. So, I'll bite....

 

When you have a friend, touching base once or twice a week is pretty normal. Depends on family, etc. With how advanced technology is these days though you can text back and forth, you can post on someone's wall, it's really too easy to keep in touch with friends.

 

So... if you're feeling left out, or behind. Chances are, that so called friend isn't much of a friend my friend. It doesn't mean you're boring, it just means that maybe you don't really fit into their circle enough for them to invite you along. Another important thing to know is this, do you pay your fair share when you go out? I dropped friends in the past because they were cheap, or wouldn't take turns splitting the bill or paying their share. If I wanted to go hang out with somebody for some fun and it was on my time I would just drag my wife around everywhere like a baseball bat.

 

Personally speaking though, I despise people in general. They're overly draining. I am an introvert. I don't need a group of friends to justify or ensure my importance or existence in life. That's what a PS4 is for. With all that said. I do go out once or twice a weeknight or weekend with my wife and a few mutual friends (mostly her friends, that I can somewhat tolerate, except the religious buff, I secretly would like to punch that guy in the face, it's almost mandatory I sit eight feet away from him at a table if alcohol is going to be involved).
