He's not an extrovert but that doesn't mean he doesn't want friends. He doesn't want to be the center of attention, speaking loudly during break times. He values smaller groups where he can actually think and speak; it's why his conversations with the FMC and his sister go so smoothly. He can suffer his way through HS alone but a bit of bitter medicine to help him find connections that he'd actually enjoy would help him.

99% of people want friends, and no you aren't that 1%. People don't want to be alone, they want to express their ideas and be heard. Even MangaDex and Crunchyroll have comment sections. 🤷‍♂️

Not true anymore unfortunately. Having friends that you don’t really enjoy being with is much worse than not having any friends. I’m not sure how thorough he was in his first try to find some good friends but it’s ok to find nobody

Naw dude, I agree with that first thing you said. But what you said has ALWAYS been true.

Having friends you don't want to spend time with is draining. But that doesn't mean people don't want to have friends period. Friends that respect their time and who they are; Even if they don't have the same interests and hobbies.

Having friends doesn't mean you have to do everything together, it doesn't mean you have to spend everyday with them. It means different things to different people and at different times but at the core, it means you have someone who cares (even if they ain't that good at it yet).

Part of maturing is learning to know where YOU are at and what type of friendship you can handle at a given time, it's not running away (ask me how I know).

Having to spend time with people who you don’t like spending time with just so you have someone who “cares” about you is kind of stupid I think. To each their own though.

I wonder if he's in denial or if it's just depression? Or maybe just a form of ADHD.

Like, he simply doesn't have the energy to spare on things that drain him like managing relationship.

This is just another Bottom Tier Character Tomozakikun

WHY TF IS BRO TRYING TO BE A JACKASS???

That is a reasonable assessment; going by what has been depicted on-panel, it is not so much that our leading man tried and failed as it is that he hardly tried at all.

Socializing can be exhausting for introverted types (hence the name), but ending up completely alone in a situation like public school requires special circumstances. Even I had a friend group.

I do appreciate the author's approach so far. The main character is not as hopeless as he thinks--although that's easier to say from the outside looking in.

Yeah for real. I'm introverted and even I sometimes find talking to some people a pain in the ass. I will also sometimes stay quite af in a gathering of friends, to the point some will ask me that if something is bothering me, even when they know I'm like this majority of times which makes me more annoyed, but even then the list of my friends would make me seem like an extrovert.

So the MC is definitely a unique case, I think not having a single friend would take more effort than having some friends, unless you do something terrible and make everyone hate you or avoid you.

Though I like how when he tries to ask her feelings for him she flat our refuses him but when it is implied to her that he might like her, she gets all embarrassed and blushes.
If the MC was an aggro fuckboy, she would already be in his palms.
