I Want to Make Friends

I would like to make both some more friends in real life and on here 😄 I made a close friend on Experience Project who I've been friends with for around 3 years and I also have another friend on here who I speak to from time to time. If anyone here would like to chat, I am always open to responding to messages! I have had much better experiences with meeting people on EP/SW than any other online social platform.

As for in real life, I have a few friends...one I see often and the others I don't get to see as much. I am planning to meet new people at my university this year so hopefully, that will help! 😊

My advice for people is that if you want to meet friends, do not be afraid to put yourself out there. The worst that can happen is that you meet someone who isn't the greatest towards you, but in that case, they weren't worth your time to begin with. 🤷🏻

I don't message people much or try to make friends, because then I feel obliged to talk to them each time we both are online.

@Dan193 That's understandable :) Some people can easily get offended when they don't get a reply soon when they see you online. I try to hide my online status on apps/websites and sometimes I even try to warn people that I may not always reply. Sometimes I am genuinely not in the mood to respond to people so I understand not wanting to feel obligated to talk to anyone. We go online to relax after all.

@MissMoon yes, those are some good points, but I guess that's the thing, I don't want to have to hide or avoid anyone, or pretend to be something else than I am.
