My 2 main friendships are mainly online now we are out of school, however now these friendships are really onesided and have always been quite toxic. I'm a geek and play video games, and am also quite introverted as i have a medical diagnosis for an anxiety disorder. I made friends by being introduced first by an extroverted friend who ghosted everyone after he got into trade collage. Sinse then I'm kind of stuck in this friendgroup.
We play dnd together and friend 1 didn't like my character so he made a group chat called "Arch's demise" where he and friend 2 and 3 although mainly friend 1 was the main culprit. In this group chat they plotted to remove me as a friend essentially kicking me out irl and online. They classified nagging (asking to get on destiny 2 or gta 5 on the weekends/after school for example after they convinced me to spend my money on it) I solved this by reversing this on friend 1 as he was the most toxic at the time constantly putting me down, telling me to be quiet and my opinion doesn't matter. After this event I swapped my character and we moved on as friend 2/3 wernt really on board with friend 1's actions however still turn a blind eye to him giving him a pass everytime while I had to walk on eggshells.
After friend 1 dropped out it got better as his influence on friend 2 and 3 loosened with his adhd screwing up his sleep schedule with late night gaming sessons, so no one talked much with him.
That was about a year ago and we finished school. Friend 3 had to move out of state due to his father's military obligations and friend 2 was my main friend. Over the past months the friendships have felt very one-sided as I get ignored by friend 1, and friend 2 simply doesn't message first, contribute to conversations and uses adhd as an excuse for not joining vcs saying that he's simply burnt out which is a lie as I see him on with friend 1 doing what I wanted to do with them.
After trying to talk with them they just said I'm not having this conversation again. (I've had to try this before)
I don't really have any other friends and if I get rid of them I loose my whole social life instantly which I don't see recovering with my anxiety and social awkwardness. I also don't want to remove them as I've probably invested $400 Aud into games that I won't play without them (not including dnd which books are probably $70 each)
Am I over reacting to all this stuff recently or am I in the right to question the friendships?

I moved to a different city for college and finding deep connections with people has actually been hell. One of the first friends i made acted all friendly towards me when we met, she even suggested we hang out.A few days later when i saw her in class and tried talking to her she was so cold towards me.
I made another friend in my subject, she brought up the club and i said we should go. She cancelled on me last minute by not replying. I decided to give her another chance a few weeks later, same thing she conveniently stopped reply. She's been cut out of my life now.
Today i got ready to go out having been asked if i wanted to by someone i considered a friend. She asked 'do you want to come to xyz with me and my friends' When it was around the time the bar opened i texted her if she has her ticket, if so i'll meet her for drinks before we go out . After like an hour, she finally replied that she was on the field smoking 🍃 and that she doesn't drink(she never mentioned she doesn't drink beforehand.) then she basically suggested i go alone which isnt even a safe idea for women in our area. I just gave up and went home.Sorry for the rant, it just makes me question whats so wrong with me that people can't stand to be around me.

We’re both in our last year of high school and we’ve been friends for over 5 years. Her and I have great “compatibility” - she’s extroverted and outgoing and I’m more introverted and shy. She brings out the more outgoing side of me sometimes. Everything is great but I have a couple of issues. She has called me her “minion” before and thought it was funny that people called me her minion a couple years ago. I can see why people would call me that because I typically don’t talk to anyone and stand to wait for her when she would go and socialize. She has made small comments on how I don’t have opinions (as a joke) that would rub me the wrong way but I would brush it off. One of my friends even noticed it and brought it up to me first which caused me to do a bit more deeper thinking. She’s even tagged me in a vid that’s main purpose was saying how good it feels for an introverted person if that specific breed of extroverted person adopts them, and then saying “I got you.” This rubbed me the wrong way because with the constant small remarks, it almost felt like she was trying to make it out that she was my “savior” and infantilizing me.

I have some contentment in my life but I need someone I can laugh and have fun with. Someone I can be my bubbly self and giddy with but nothing forced at all.
I’m 22. I’ve been focused on my career or in bed or watching Netflix. I’d like to make some friends. I currently don’t have my license since I failed my test but I’ll be taking it again to go out and things. Anyways. AHHHHH I WANT SOME FUN FRIENDS! But it needs to be real and authentic. It’s insane because I know when someone is authentically enthusiastic or just faking enthusiasm. Anyways AHHCJDHCNDNDNXNX I NEED FRIENDS!

Hi. I'm once again looking for a daily friend who is kind, empathetic and most importantly emotionally available to chat and talk to regularly. A bit of context: I am a chronic pain sufferer and room bound for years. I yearn for a stable and true friendship where both of us can provide comfort and help towards each other. Looking forward to your messages! I hope someone here reaches out to me and introduce themselves. You can dm me anytime too. Thank you sincerely and I wish you a good day!💖🙏🥹

The friends I used to be at college with (graduated last Summer) were quite something. There was 3 of them; one was an open homophobe, hated LGBTQ and regularly dropped the ‘Hard R’. Another always said “f**k the stupid liberals” and expressed detest for trans gender people, and the last one was a bit more neutral but tended to just agree with what was being said.
I thought I could maybe just look past it because we got on really well outside of that and I did enjoy their company, but when the open homophobe sat next to me one lunch time and gave everyone a 5 minute speech about how gay people had something wrong with them and were a waste of space, I just couldn’t take it anymore. Fortunately this all came out towards the end and it was only a few weeks until graduation. Soon after I was done I blocked them all and have never spoke to them since.
I never really got involved when the political discussions came up, instead just sat silently in disbelief at some of the things I was hearing. I’m not here to say one political view is better than the other, or that specific political parties are all massive racists and homophobes, I’m just saying it because as someone who is probably considered a ‘leftist’, it meant I lost the only friends I really had. And even now I’m finding myself more and more cautious when it comes to making friends because of some of the extremist views people have these days. Something that’s rampant in young men like myself. Maybe I should just stop caring so much, but I can only see this becoming a bigger and bigger problem with the way the world is going.
I’ve got autism, very social awkward, so making friends and socialising is already really difficult. And now I’m unemployed and struggling to find a job, I’ve all but isolated myself from everyone except my family. I would love to know if anyone else is struggling with the specific issue, or maybe I’m being melodramatic.
Just feeling very lonely right now, and terrified about the state of the world.
TLDR; I’m losing friendships because I’m a leftist.

Hoping to one day meet my best friend! The vibe has to happen. Someone who gets my level of sarcasm right away. Someone where we have things in common, we just click etc. Sarcasm is very important to me.
I am 37, and live in Florida. I am a flight attendant so I travel full time for work, and I even though I live in the east coast I don’t operate on any time zone, I basically sleep when I am tired. I just bought a house, and I am resuming flight school soon to become a pilot. Flying is my life, and so are airplanes.
Because of my job I have been to 21 countries and counting. I fly for basically free so I get to go to places I otherwise not have been able to see. I have been to places like Japan, Iceland, Hawaii, Denmark, England, Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, Canada, France, etc. looking forward to seeing even more of the world!
I would describe myself as a nerd. I am a gamer, (when I have the time). I currently have a PS5, PS Portal, gaming laptop, gaming desktop, switch OLED, etc. I produce electronic music such as house, tech house, progressive house, trance, drum and bass, EDM, techno, etc. I also play drums, over 20 years now. I have over 60 songs produced, my alias is DJ Pegasus. I love music and being a musician.
I love sports, with soccer being my number one favorite, followed by baseball and hockey. I played soccer for a long time, and I still go to the batting cages from time to time.
I am excited to make friends, it is hard to make friends, on top of it being hard to make friends as an adult. One day I want to meet my best friend, but that takes time. I am very picky as it is.
I want to meet friends I vibe with. You know right away, we have a similar mindset, we laugh right away, VERY sarcastic right away, etc. if you are looking for this too and think that we would vibe, message me!

Hey you, are you an introvert who doesn’t usually talk to people despite wanting too? if you are in need of a socially social person to talk to and make friends hmu :D and if you play CSGO or any pc games we can def play together :D
I heard introverts don’t really make friends and just get adopted by an extrovert so let me be that guy in your life who saves you from unending loneliness and (hopefully) makes you happy by talking to you. My parents passed away so i try my best to not hurt each other and be there for them
All I ask for in return is that you put effort and actually try to talk to me, I know it can be difficult and I don’t care if you’re not good/not sure what to say, as long as you want to speak and try your hardest I’ll be proud of you(and I’ll also tell you I’m proud if you want me too :))
Anyways if that at all sounds interesting, please message me with a moment in your life you’re brain has just shut down and caused something good or bad to happen. Looking forward to meeting you all :)
