Amphion Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 We all have friends. Whether its a best friend you do everything with, or just someone you like to talk to in your english class. But recently I have really been thinking about the friends I have. The main thing is, me and my friends do not really have anything in commen. I go to a small school. In the High School alone, there is only a total of around 300 students. To this very day, I have yet to find someone who really had something in commen with me. The friends I have now, yeah, we have a little in common. But its just little things like, we like the same band, or sport. Thats about it. I am real big into computers, games, and Anime. Those are my main interests. But I can not find anyone at school who has the same interests. Yes, its not neccesarry for someone to like all the things you like to be your friend. I guess I am just looking for somone who likes [i]all[/i] the stuff I like. I was just wondering how you and your friends where. DO you all like the same thing, or do you all have different interests? Like I said its not neccesarry to have freinds that like all the stuff you do. Im not saying I am unhappy with my friends, I like them all. Its just sometimes you wish you had someone [i]like you[/i], know what I mean?

ifm2181 Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 My friends and I all have little common interests. Usually games and anime. Some of them don't like the same anime as me, and the others do. Some don't like the same games, and the others do.My friends and I get along pretty well though. Remember: It's almost impossible to find someone who likes the exact same things as you. There's always a difference in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sui Generis Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 It takes many people many years to find a true friend. I am lucky enough to have found one. We have literally every single thing in common. Its very cool. ALl my other "friends" don't like anime or sports. Or they hate my music. Its very difficult to find friends who like everything. I guess I'm just lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amphion Posted August 9, 2002 Author Share Posted August 9, 2002 Yeah, I know your right. But My interest are: COmputers, Games, Anime. ONe of my friends likes Anime, and thats it. No one else like any of those other things. SO while I cant wait to get home and crank up Final Fantasy, or Jump on line. They are wantjing to do somethign else. I guess I am not fully looking for someone totaly like myself, just someone who has a little more of the same interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Amphion [/i] [B]In the High School alone, there is only a total of around 300 students.[/B][/QUOTE]That's my school to a T. The people I hang out with are my Drama group from school. Within the drama group are subsections. One, wonder of wonders, likes anime and japanese music. Completely chance that I fell in with them, which makes their interests worth remarking on. My three closest friends are a would-be boyfriend [Didn't work out], a sports freak* [I loathe sports], and Ginny. :whoops: Not necessarily in that order. *[size=1]A gross generalization.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 [color=red]I don't really have any great friends. I don't know if I ever will. Sure I have friends, but most of them are social outcasts that sit on their computers all day (oh wait, isn't that me?), anyways, never trust a friend completly until you are [i]certain[/i] they are a true friend. Most friends just stab you in the back anyways...[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 [size=1] I know exactly how you feel because I feel like that too. I mean I am not saying that I am not satisfied with my friends because they are great, because they are there for me. But interest wise I understand totally. While I am not really into anime anymore so I only post in the General Forum most of the time. But my interests are Computers and most of all Raising and Breeding Fish and Growing Carnivorous plants. I have no friends with the same interests and there is no one at my school with the same interests. I am just fine with my life now, but the only way I get to talk to others about my interests are on message boards about my interests. My family hates it when I start talking about my interests and they will just walk away when I start talking, and my friends are just like "oh cool" and they start to try and change the subject. I wish I had someone who I could talk to about this stuff.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrist cutter Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Hmm, I don't really have any close friends, just people I hang out with at school. In fact, I don't even know what their interests are... and they don't really know mine either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 [color=darkblue][size=1] I have some good friends, but only one that shares [i]some[/i] of the same interests as me. We are always making websites together, graphics together, we both like anime (but he watches DBZ as his favorite [ugh]), and everything, but we have many, many disagreements.

MarkM Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 okay before I start off let me comment ... If there wornt different kinds of people in the world then the world would be boring and kind of pointless. Everyone has there own way of thinking and how they like things... That is how the world keeps getting more intersting. Anywho I have lots of friends and some of them like anime some dont be we all have somthing simalar in common. Or we just enjoy eachothers company! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ifm2181 Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 As long as you have common interests, I suppose it doesn't matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkM Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by pyro_kai [/i] [B] and most of my friends are also bi. [/B][/QUOTE] Why did you say that.... That just caught my eye and im wondering why you said it. you should talk about your friends about how good of a friend they are...not about them in a way that they cant control.

wrist cutter Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 He was stating something that he and his friends had in common. Some people are too jumpy to protect homo and bisexuals when nothing really wrong is being said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 My best friend... well we have basically the exact same interests. I did get him into basically everything he likes now... such as anime and NiN. We're a lot alike, but at the same time I think that leads to a lot of problems. I argue with him more than anyone else I know, and while it never gets serious... it is very aggrivating. Other than him... I don't know many people that like most of what I do. And if they do, they usually turn out to be the type of person I wouldn't like anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 [color=darkblue][size=1]I have a hard time deciding if someone is my friend, or if I am just spending time with them to avoid lonliness... hmm, I wonder. My best friend shares the same interests as I do, but we seem to disagree on a lot of basic philosophical/moral issues. even though we seem to be slipping apart, I would still do anything for him.. he isd my best friend after all. Outside of that... a lot of my friends do not like anime very much, and they seem to frown upon my time at the boards. On the boards, many of my best friends here don't share many common interests, but after talking to them for a while I realized that we have shared a lot of similar experiences.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 I only really have two close friends that I can confide in. One of them is on these boards, and the other lives about six blocks from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sere Tuscumbia Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 I don't really pick my friends from interests. Right now, I have only one close friend who shares my interests, and several other close friends that I have almost nothing in common with. I honestly pick my friends from whether I can feel comfortable with them, and trust them with my life if it came down to that. Someone I can confide in, and tell my deepest secrets to, knowing that they wouldn't say a word to anyone else. That's what I look for in a friend, because even if someone can have the same interests as me, they can be someone that I wish I had never met. And also, I prefer having someone different from me, because then they won't be jumping to agree with me, and will have different views. I put in my two cents. I'm done.

RicoTranzrig Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]Most of my friendships revlove around a video game console...so I have a lot of guy friends who are gamers and have interests in lots of different things. They and I tend to like anime, a wide array of music, and keep our interests to girls to oursleves. Then most of my lady friends are into music and sometimes videogames. But usually all of my friends have a lot of interests to keep talking about for a long time. Then if we don't know anything about something we can teach one another.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Well I hate to really seperate my friends into categories, but for the friends I hang out with IRL, all of them share a heavy interest in anime, and gaming. So it was very easy for us to get along with each other. As for the people I've met through the boards and other places I for the most part share some type of similar interest with them and ironically some of them I can confide in much more then my best friend. ^_^ Well I should definitely stop ranting now. :babble: :babble: :babble: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juu Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]I have soo many diff friends that like different things... So mainly, I drift around, hanging with one group, then another... I haven't started school here in Cali, yet.... But.. In galveston.. I had a best friend that drifted around as well. I had about three friends that I'd hang around the most... My best friend-Abbey, Old bf... and my best friend's crazy bf... All of them like different things, but we really don't mind... Abbey is a huge fan of rap/hip hop... not too muchova anime fan.. Nick..is..quiet..and..shy..and..doesn't..talk..much..at all... Kendall...doesn't know when to stop talking... but is still nice to talk to... And I'm the punk rock-loving, anime obessesed, comp addicted, kind of person.. -.0 You don't have to be 'alike' to be friends, ya know...[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinzam v Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 I love games and anime but I only have 2 friends who like games No one in my school know what anime is So I don't have a lot in common with all of my friends:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 I have a couple of close friends and then a lot of not close friends. Some things we have in common and some things we don't. I guess thats like any group of friends. Most of you seem to have at least one friend who likes anime...my friends don't even know what it is.

I've always thought that friends should be as different from me as possible. Hmm... That either looks like I'm lacking self-confidence or I'm bein' really conceited. --Mike[/b][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
