can't make friends with people with same interests

It really sucks, honestly. It'd be nice to have a friend who enjoys Star Wars, Star Trek, and anime, but it seems people like that never have any interest in a friendship with me. I always make friends with people who are complete opposite of me. And that's fine, but they're hard to relate to. I want someone I can relate to. It makes me feel like something is wrong with me when I can't make friends with same interests.

I feel the same way, it's pretty hard to try to be friends with people sometimes, even if you might have the same interests at times. I really like anime, I was never really into Star Trek though myself. Have you tried checking certain websites about these topics perhaps?

I can so relate. we moved to years ago and it's still difficult.
I've tried volunteering different little things to do and just nothing seems to click so just trying to like my own company a little better.

However the suggestion of the Internet is sometimes good. That's how my daughter actually met her husband ....on a star wars site

Take a moment to review what you've written.

By opposite, list those things, and then, look at how you could use that to relate to a hobby or activity you are interested in.

I had to change the way I viewed something I felt in order to move forward in finding different people.

Best wishes!

I like Star Wars and Star Trek! Don't know about anime, but hit me up! We'll be friends! You gonna be one of the first in line to see The Force Awakens? It looks killer!

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
