I Am Friendless

It hard to be friends on here. I mean I know I got a rep for my past and that people will say "But I like you" Hardly get a PM or anything in a year or so. Instead I sometimes get "You used to be that chair guy" or get some spiteful person that just wants to pull me down. It's just I don't know how to actually strike a conservation and keep it going on. ¬_¬ I've noticed there are small groups of friends on here that band together and I have been on SW since the beginning. So it gotta be me that's the problem. Maybe I should log off and find another place like answermug maybe

I think you are setting yourself up for pain and disappointment looking for real friendship online. It rarely happens

@Fernie I must be more the exception than the rule then. When I talk to people online, whether here or elsewhere, I tend to form friendships or want to be a friend as genuinely as I would if we were in real life.

@thinkbigaboutlife I guess I see it differently...virtual friendships...they are more casual acquaintances than friendships imo. The word friend is so washed out and perverted these days...In my mind and life experience...real friendships require a good and bad history together...eye contact...body language. We don't get any information online that we need to become true friends. If a virtual friendship is sufficient for you I hope you have tons of those friends.

@Fernie no no, i don't have tons of virtual friendships. Many end up being blocked or simply disappear. But the few priviledged ones that got to stay in my 'friendship circle' is because they have proven to be loyal friends. I'm introvert, so making friends online is easier for me than in person, but I do have some in person friends too. Open your heart and mind to friendship online. You might be surprised. Heck, you and I could become friends too. lol
