Introverts make friends by letting an extrovert adopt them.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Can confirm, my cousin adopted me and introduced me to their friends.

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 months ago

reminder to my fellow extraverts to treat their introvert extra well today, they might need it

LMAO what is this from? It looks hilarious!

[-] KammicRelief@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

It's from the movie Animal House. :) One of my favorite scenes ever (because who hasn't been that kid? lol).

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

I'm still waiting for this to happen...

Worked for me! Roommate was throwing a party and my now-wife got dragged along to it by her friend

[-] sep@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Same, but it was my cousin doing the dragging.

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Same, but it was my cousin... doing the dragging.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 2 months ago

Y'all got set up.

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca 48 points 2 months ago

It's really hard to meet people because all the people I want to know are hiding from humanity.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 15 points 2 months ago

I don't want the type of person I'd meet at a bar and there really aren't many events for things I'm into around me. The people I'd like are more than likely like me, hoping I'd teleport into their living room just the same.

I'm also in a terrible place for my personality. It feels like I'm in materialistic asshat conservative HQ, so there's that too...

A buddy of mine got his first girlfriend in college after a family friend noticed that his single niece also liked manga and anime and introduced the two. I was very jealous of his attractive, nerdy girlfriend-turned-wife for several years until I finally got on a dating site and found love for myself.

I saw The Secret in high school and I've just been following its advice of wishing really hard. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[-] PapaIsolation@lemm.ee 40 points 2 months ago

I thought my problem was not going outside, but I recently saw a post about how most people meet online now.

So it turns out I just suck. That’s helpful to know

[-] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Tbf that is helpful info

I remember being surprised to realize/remember that there are (were?) totally kids that will knock on a new neighbor's door to ask their parents if they could come out to meet them and play

Imagine.. taking action to put yourself out there and meet friends. That's kinda wild

Quantum physics proves the chance of this happening isn't 0. Maybe if they wait long enough?

[-] match@pawb.social 30 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

how else would i meet commander will riker, if not a transporter accident?

[-] Eiri@lemmy.ca 30 points 2 months ago

That post's gotta chill with the personal attacks, geez.

[-] tektite@slrpnk.net 24 points 2 months ago

Ew, a stranger appearing uninvited in my house?

No, they can teleport to the driveway like a normal person, thankyouverymuch.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 23 points 2 months ago

Pls text before you teleport.

Ive been going out more and looking at it as practice for when I meet someone I actually like. Id hate to run them off because I'm some kind of cave creature who can't interact right

[-] PyroNeurosis 10 points 2 months ago

Have you not considered that you might run them off because you're a socially adroit cave creature that's out of their league?

[-] DeadWorld@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

You're right, I'm defeating my own cause. Better get back to the cave and start chanting

My SO was appointed directly into my room by a mutual friend, so it's not far fetched.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

My spouse is a former roommate who more or less teleported into my living room.

...Along with 5 other people in a 2 bedeoom house.

But while it worked out for me I do not recommend it as a reliable strategy. We were lucky.

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 13 points 2 months ago

Nah. I'll just wait till I meet some other introverted, nerdy person. I already met a few.

[-] protist@mander.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

What did you do with them after you met them?

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 months ago

we each go to separate rooms and sext each other.

You wouldn't like the sound of it if I told you.

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Sounds like it's more hassle than it's worth.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 11 points 2 months ago

This actually works, but only if you are willing to sponsor a green card.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm fucking waiting!!

(Yet still need a notice, written notice, days ahead)

[-] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

Ouch this one hurt, that's so fucking true 😔😔

[-] Godort@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

I have seen many anime with this premise exactly

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

[off topic?]

Wonderfully cheesy 1970s movie "Logan's Run" had a deal like that. Instead of just swiping on an image, people teleported to your house. If you liked each other you'd step off the platform...

[The movie has a brief appearance by Farrah Fawcett, which gives it high 1970s nostalgia appeal]
