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

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Self-induced schizophrenia called "tulpa" is certainly one approach

Ew, a stranger appearing uninvited in my house?

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

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@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 days 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 9 points 1 day ago

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

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.

Is there another option?

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

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

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

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

I am in this picture and I don't like it.

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

I am also in this picture, please get out of my picture

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 15 points 2 days ago

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

[-] protist@mander.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

What did you do with them after you met them?

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 days ago

we each go to separate rooms and sext each other.

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

Seriously. I'm often a few metres away and still text. Especially if I like that person a lot.

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

I fell in love with the first one, and still am, after 5 years, despite them ending the friendship after a year. Then we had contact again and broke it after a few weeks. A dozen times. And now I met the second introverted nerd, very nice and very cute, but I'm just scared it will end like the first time.
