The realer u are the less friends you will have?

[Anonymous]

I've only got one to two real friends because I take no shit and call out fake people

They say this is a good trait to have

But it's driving me to loneliness and boredom

How to improve that Im well liked

Yeah man, it can be tough sometimes being real and calling people out on their BS. For sure it does tend to limit the amount of friends you'll have. But it also means the ones you do got are legit.

At the same time though, you don't wanna be totally alone with no squad, so here's what I'd say:

- Loosen up a bit where you can. Save the super blunt honesty for only when it really matters. Let small stuff slide sometimes.

- Look for other real ones like you. Maybe join a club or group with shared interests to meet cooler people.

- Compliment people more. Putting others down too much will drive folks away.

- Enjoy your alone time too. People respect independence. Hit the gym, play video games, work on your hobbies.

- Smile and make convo easy. Not everyone wants deep talk 24/7.

As long as you stay true to yourself, you can widen your circles a bit without compromising who you are. Balance is key man, hope this helps give you some more options to feel less bored! Let me know if any other advice would be useful.

That is how it usually goes. There are too many fake people in the world these days. But it's not a bad thing to have a very small circle, quite the opposite. It's quality over quantity. I can also see through people but I don't go out of my way to call them out on there bs. It's not worth it and it's not your place. Let them be who they are but just deny them access to you and your personal life.

But wanting to be well liked is very contradictory to being real. That's why people are fake in the first place. I believe being genuine and real brings peace and no room to worry about how many people like you.

a bit but just don't be a dick lol

you can call out someone's behavior but be respective or polite. like it really depends on how you do it

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

You’re not “real” you’re rude.
You can call people out without being blunt, and you can address it in a way that doesn’t come off as an accusation that causes people to get defensive.

I do tbh I'm never rude. always polite and caring but if people cross me I don't let things slide

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Yeah, that last bit tells me you’re more abrasive than you’re willing to admit

[Asker]

I always taught it was positive trait. Like I'm real not fake. don't wanna be fake

[Asker]

Very good at reading people

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

There’s a very big difference between being honest and being blunt
