I Believe That Internet Friends Are Real

Recently, I thought that I had finally sparked up a friendship online, but they disappeared on me. However, it is possible that I scared them away. It was so exciting, having someone to talk to once again. My lack of social skills was probably my downfall. I didn't send multiple messages, yet, I probably took fpreber to respond. I sit and think about what I will say, so that I don't do exactly what I did, scare people off.when you've isolated yourself for so lomg, like I have, it's difficult to get back into the flow of easy socializing, even over the internet. I know it's not like I hung out with them and then *pop* they were gone, but it felt nice having a "friend" to talk to. My only means of making friends is through social media, until I can overcome my social anxiety. But when I'm constantly ghosted, I feel like even making friends online is too much for me.
