Friendship yay or nay?

So users of SW.
Do you have a solid group of friends you regularly meet/hangout with in RL?
Or....
Are you someone who tends to keep themselves to themselves socially and prefer to bond at distance, on sites such as this?

Me....I choose to have only a few RL friends.
I'm not here on SW to make friends as such, but it's nice to meet and converse with like-minded people.

I'll take a friend wherever I find them. You see, I have problems making friends anywhere, period! I get online and hope that someone, anyone finds me interesting enough to converse with.
Honestly, I have friends in RL and have a solid group of them, chances are I'll never meet anyone on SW.

Why am I on here then? To talk about topics that might not go down with mates and to look at opinions of various people.

If SW did a social though it would be a bloody good fun event! 😂

@BritishFailedAesthetic That makes sense. Not sure I'd want to meet up with the SW crew though. Some proper weirdos here 😂
@Purplerain78 Very true.... many probably have windowless vans... 😂

@BritishFailedAesthetic Oh my gawd 😬😂
Bit of both and not into sharing my Real Life stories here as anyone can see..even those who hate/dislike me and well none of their business.

I've always maintained that SW is where my imaginary friends and acquaintances are

I have very good friends IRL that I see often
But also like chatting here
Meeting people from all over
IRL I have a group of friends I meet and hangout with often, a group of friends I see once in a great while, and a group of friends I've known the longest that I get together with a few times a year (unfortunately, some of them are getting older and some have passed).

I don't necessarily exclude anyone, but there are a few users I get along especially well with

But I would also say I'm mostly reserved

I’ve got a great group of friends in RL and here on SW as well.

I have a solid group of friends but I also like to keep to myself

I tend to have RL friends for different activities. A poker group, volleyball group, old school friends, married couple friends, etc…

This is just a time filler. Nice to talk to some folks, but agree, every now and then the alarms go off.

Have not yet met friends on SW, but have read so many interesting reports of their escapades. Have a small circle of RL friends and don't believe they are here. Came to try out the site and maybe try to write and see about others writing and thoughts.
I have a lot of solid friends in RL.

I like communication online, but much prefer face to face. I mostly come here to see how a couple people are doing, and then see what’s going on in random people’s lives and try to help if I can.

I can count of one hand who my true everyday friends are. That I would do things for and they would be there for me. What about you. I'd love to create new group of friends also.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
I'm pretty much of a hermit. And at my age the friends I did have are mostly dead.
TheOrionbeltseeker · 36-40, M
Here, I have 3-4 good friends on SW and in real life, maybe 3-4 besties to count on, another 3-4 to call friends and then, alot of people who have neutral status in my life, can't call them friends.
RuyLopez · 56-60, M
Just a handful of very close friends that I have made over the years. I am more of a loner but with very close bonds with my loved ones. I include a handful of friends as loved ones.
NewRaven · 51-55, F
I have friends both IRL and online. And I’ve been lucky enough to take a couple of the online friendships into my real life
RoxClymer · 41-45, M
I have 1 friend I have known for 30+ years, a couple I have known for 15+ years and a hanful of peers/acquaintances

I don't know. I find even the question is a bit uneasy to answer. I've been burned pretty badly in the past. Yes, fell in love online but heck that happens in real life too. I don't come on here to find something similar. In my head I go 'can we be friends?' sometimes but I don't use SW for meeting anyone special. In fact, I've been blocked often enough because some on here can't even handle someone with a different opinion. Would anyone want to date someone who blocks on a regular basis anyhow? That's a quite neater question to ask

i have few acquaintances but no real friends now, i'm not on sw to make friends really, only as it says in my profile, advice help etc.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
Neither one. Would like a solid friend group but it's hard to find
CultOfPersonality · 36-40, M
I’d say I have friends on here I’d meet up with IRL
Small group Ive known since school or colleagues
With all the caprice on this site I don't think it's a good idea to form solid bonds
Musicman · 61-69, MVIP
I definitely have a nice group of online friends. We don't live close enough to hangout though.
