Making friends here

Do people actually talk here and become real friends or does the convo usually fizzle out? This site always struck me as this obscure place to post things you normally wouldn't on your regular social media like a facebook or somewhere

Convos die. Will see a lot of the same users over time and will interact over the occasional post but that's really it.

@SpectralMourning True. I never hoped to make a new friend here, it's just when you feel like it's happening....when it's really not

@Movingthegoalpost I think it's social media exhaustion. A lot of people have been doing this sort of interaction for a decade plus and most everyone at some point in time has gotten their feelings in hurt. It's a lot to even think about getting back to that point of perceived trust with someone again. Just easier to ignore it I guess.

@SpectralMourning True, everyone has trust issues at this point, but by ghosting they're being hypocritical, because they are doing the very thing that caused their distrust to begin with. It's just one of those thing where I say it is what it is. I didn't go out looking for a new friend btw. I just wanted to ask a random unbiased opinion on a new song that I had made. The conversation just naturally started flowing and I guess I started to feel a friendship brewing. That was my mistake, for even half way creating expectations (thought it all just happened fast so I didn't even have time to create expectations)

@Movingthegoalpost I understand. I don't mean to convey that I think it's okay they did that sort of thing...just the mindset I guess. Sorry they left you hanging.

@SpectralMourning Nah I didn't take it like that, no worries! You brought up a very good point and it's very true. It's distrust people have overall
