You only need about 3-4 true friends.

Only friend a man needs are his barber, his butcher and his bar-tender.

I don't know why I'm telling you this, but it gets worse as you get older. The way it's easy to make friends at jobs? That goes away in your 30s and 40s. Everyone has kids.

If you're introverted now and you don't fight it as hard as you can, you'll just get more introverted as you age.

You can make friends with OF models for only $30 a month or street hookers

Thanks bud. Unfortunately at 24 most people already have their established friend groups from HS and College.

I don't think this is true at all unless you stay in your hometown and/or college town.

Here's the better question: What are your hobbies? What do you do to fill your day?

I graduated college when I was 22, had a job lined up right out of school and was there for a year before I got fired. Been unemployed since February. I cant find work due to the horrible job market. I'm applying to jobs in the 40K-50K range and I'm getting nothing

Why were you fired? It looks bad on your record for prospective employers. Definitely don't let it happen again and learn from the mistake.

While you're looking for a real job I recommend just picking up some shitty retail job to earn money. I had one in my early 20s and it was a fantastic way to meet other young people and women to date. And working retail looks better on a resume than inactivity. Managers don't want to hire someone who got fired and has been sitting on their ass for 7 months.

This. Unless you are busting your ass 8-10 hours a day sending resumes and researching a job, you should be working in some capacity. TS is still really young, so go find something you like to do or do retail, construction, food service, etc.....do anything. You will make money and make friends. You will make connections to other jobs as well. May move up to manager position, you might talk to a friend who knows a friend who is hiring in your preferred field. IT's a great way to network and make friends along the way.

You know how this is solved?

By being ugly as fuck and your social circle being as ugly as fuck

No one pairs up hence everything goes on as usual

I was fired for not meeting numbers in a sales job. I was put on PIP for a month and failed and got canned

On my resume, I don't say I was fired. When interviewers ask why I left, I always say "I wanted to explore new opportunities". My previous company only verifies dates of unemployment. They don't give a reason for why I left.

Forget about finding superficial friendships and work your fucking ass off to make a good life for yourself. You've got some prime years ahead of you to set yourself up, definitely be thinking about career choices that work for you at this point. Life is going to deny you things you want and that is the place where you focus on tasks in front of you and build for your future. You have to learn to not swim against the current when it comes to wishes and desires. The right people or lady will come along while you're busy doing other shit. That's usually how it works. I have no friends now and I rather prefer it that way but when I was your age I was belle of the ball so I can't relate to what it's like being young and lonely. All my close friendships from that age dried up or dissipated due to the usual suspects, relocation, jobs, wives, kids, or just no longer having anything in common.

Occupy your mind and time with something useful and try not to worry about shit you can't control. You can either join some shared interest group if it matters that much to you, but you can't really force friendship on people. I've had a few people try to forcefully befriend me in recent years and it weirded me the hell out.

Making new friends rarely just fall on your lap. You need put yourself out there and make an effort especially if you're more introverted in nature. It's easier to make friends when you attend/participate in group activities and other social events. That could be an adult sport league, meetup groups, hobby related groups, church, etc. Making friends in college and work are also great places so hopefully you can find a new job sooner than later or go back to school.

Join a community of an activity you like. Martial arts, sports, hiking, etc. I once made friends by going to a group that meets up to practice Spanish. Ended up hooking up with the host and it ended badly so I burned that bridge lol.

That's how I used to do things out here too but everyone eventually marries and has kids or gives up and moves home with their parents. I can't do either so I'm just out here being the last exile until the heart attack or stroke finally, mercifully comes. Hopefully in my sleep.
