What are /r/friendship's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

See if these acquaintances can become your friends. Doesn't matter how you met. It's probably the easiest group of friends you could make int he position you are in.

Are there any clubs you could join? Volunteer work? Meetup.com is a good way to meet people with similar interests.

Here, take a read of this then: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/qualities-of-real-friends_n_5709821

1) I didn't say perfect, I said Proper. There is such thing as a proper friendship and that article is what proper friends should be doing. Who ever has taught people that there is no true proper definition of a proper friendship, then people need to start learning it.

2) Isn't there a rule on Reddit that is to stay on topic? Wouldn't that include keeping information and conclusions about a person SEPARATE from posts (I.E. bringing up other posts and comments that do not pertain to the subreddit or post you are commenting in?)

oof, wish i paid more attention when i had music as a subject for those 2 years. guess youve mastered the piano, have you ever composed your own pieces?? im trying to write lyrics as i lost a friend (not like she passed away, rather we parted ways) and its so hard, i only got a uke to work with, perhaps i should use flat.io for other instruments lol. idrk what im saying, but yeah. i miss my friend, hope shes safe and sound and hopefully we'll cross paths once again in the future.

Are you new to Reddit? Then it is sure that you don’t know how to post on Reddit. Talking about pictures, you cannot directly upload images on the Reddit website. So, are some simple steps to know how to post pictures on Reddit.

Step 1: Visit the website Imgur.

Step 2: Upload the image on it.

Step 3: Copy that image URL.

Step 4: Then, visit the Reddit website.

Step 5: Select "Create a new post" & paste that image URL there.

Following this way, you can post images on Reddit in just a few seconds.

not so good at that myself. but I guess it's all about having more things in common at least as a start.

I can recommend a book that really helped me to socialize better with people

Check out the app Aphinity. You select your interests and then you get a new match every day based on your interests. It's like the meetup app but you can meet individual people here as well.

It's great if you moved somewhere new or you're looking to make new friends. Here's the links (or just search Aphinity on the app store)

Thanks for your feedback. I wanted to interject here that is not at all what I am saying. I read extensively about mental health and it could be a range of reasons from past trauma to insecure attachment issues that incite this reaction. The reason I attached the article and stated that it "normally" is classified as a symptom is because there were salient points introducing this cyclical behaviour there, not that the OP has a mental illness. I hope this makes it clearer.

@ OP - do you manage to have a candid conversation with these friends of yours to discuss where you feel disappointed/hurt or do you just keep these thoughts/feelings to yourself normally?

OP there's a great book on attachment issues, since this seems to be an issue that permeates in both your friendships and relationships

I've had some bad luck with friendship in that whenever I start to get really close with someone they end up moving to another city. I have a small group of friends now and my best friend is once again moving away and I realize that I really am needing some friends. I am a little awkward as well and it isn't easy. One thing that seems to be helping me lately is working out. I have started lifting weights for about 5 hours a week and its been about 3 months and I feel like a different person: more confident, more energy, and a strong desire to be around other people. I think one of the hardest parts to making friends is expressing confidence and not being afraid to go up to people and invite them to things. Pretty much every friend I've made since high school became my friend because they invited me to something and I said yes. It's never the other way around and I think that's something I need to change. So, my second piece of advice is to start inviting people to stuff. Just asking a coworker or aquintance to grab a beer is a great way to open up. Third, get used to rejection. My therapist even had me intentionally get rejected regularly to get used to it. For example, go into a store and ask if you could have an item for half off for no reason, and have them say no to you. It's super awkward and weird but you get used to it. Finally, you may want to work on social skills. Spend less time online, spend more time outside with others. Put yourself out there and get involved in a local charity, meet up, hobby, or other group. Maybe try reading some books on how to make friends. I've heard this one is great: https://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/0671027034

Okay, so I hope that helps. I need to put this to practice myself because its time I learn how to initiate some friendships. Good luck! Like anything important in life, it takes work but if you are willing to put in the time it will happen.
