Do you ever hang out with people and not really do anything?

If you've got nothing new to add to the convo isn't it partially your fault for the lack of stimulating conversation..?


Edit...

This is not an attack on you, but just in general for people that have nothing to talk about with their friends...

Hmmm, I would say I don't mind this sort of thing but every time I visit a friend we get high, although sometimes we just 'hang out'. I suppose it's different if either party is specifically travelling to meet you, a bar or something at which you both have something to eat or drink to occupy time/provide a conversation point. You know, something to justify meeting at the setting.
If you are just going to a friend's house or they are coming over, then it is the best friends who can just 'drop by' with nothing particularly planned and you have fun or they are literally just hanging around with you, passing the occasional word (but don't force a conversation) and you are just content with their presence.

Sometimes even when I Skype people I don't force a conversation, we'll both just be doing whatever but knowing the other person is There. The best friends are the ones you can just chill out and watch TV with as if you were on your own but just with them there it seems so much better.

Trying to force or make a pretense of 'social activity' (or what society deems appropriate 'social activity') seems more uncomfortable and awkwardness-inducing to me but then again I'm weird.

I find this type of stuff to be gut wrenchingly painful. Am I alone in this?

I was just about to invite a friend to hang out and have a drink tonight, she said she's not drinking right now... so then I thought "well what the hell are we going to do then, just sit there and stare at each other?". The small talk is just retarded, anything either of us could say to each other we've already said before, nothing new. So what would be the point? I don't really get any joy from just being around a friend, do you? I think I would rather just spend time alone..

So yeah, basically, what's the point of 'hanging out' with a friend/s if there's no real 'goal' or 'activity' to be had during that time, like watching a fight, or getting stoned or going to dinner or something?

I only hang out with people that I'm comfortable with saying "well shit dude this is boring I'm heading home". They say the same to me since we've all talked about how hanging out gets boring. It's best not to over-kill a hang out session with feeling awkward.

Pot helps things out. Sometimes you honestly want to smoke with somebody, that's where friends come in. Nobody wants to honestly watch tv with somebody (well nobody I can think of).

Get a girlfriend,honestly tho if you find one thats into the same things,then there you go.

If I ever get married I'd wanna be able to feel comfortable watching tv and farting without saying a word for hours. That would be the shit.

I think most of us genuinely like to get high then watch tv with someone. I've come to the conclusion that all of u stoners who smoke with company and enjoy withouut much else to do have the most genuine friendships... the ones where you even enjoy the boring together because you are baked as fuck.

I don't know about you but I get more emotionally sensitive when high... Really affectionate and touchy-feely. Then the notion of curling up on the couch watching Top Gear or something is only bettered by watching it with someone nice.

Yes. Stoners have the most beautiful friendships...

I feel exactly the same way and I would have repped you but I need to slut around a bit before I get back to you again..

Agreed, Sitting after a long day and taking bong rips with a buddy or two just to unwind is super relaxing. No one forces conversation after a dab or two, just a blank comfortable stare at the tube.

Props for mentioning top gear, it's the only thing I watch on BBC, fucking love their humor.
