I Have Something to Say

Friendship on SW?

I have met some great people on this place and I don't really believe that SW is full of idiots (or insolent peasants as I have called you many times before). But...to the "witty" males that have tried to befriend me...all of you with your poetry and eclectic music taste and long conversations about life and what's real and what's not...I do admire your mind. And talking to me about how you admired mine was definitely flattering. But did my mind stop being "admirable" once you realised I didn't want to be more "intimate"? Why spend hours talking to this "special friend" of yours if she's not that special after all? Or even a friend...? I hate it when people make me feel so special only to find out that they've been trying to get something from me and then watch them leave, complimenting and worshipping their new "victim". If friendship is not what you're really looking for then, please, take all your beautiful lies and leave. Why do I have to go through periods of anger and self - doubt just because you're not strong enough to be clear about what you really want and who you really are? And I know that I "shouldn't care about strangers on the internet" and I should probably "go get a life" but I find it stupid to pretend I don't care when I clearly spend most of my time on here.

I kinda agree 🤔 I mean whenever I meet a new friend I imagine myself talking to them like 3 years from now about who knows what but the idea excites me. Most of the time letting people get close enough tends to drive them off. Leaving me in this awkward place where I want to connect but at the same time I don't want to get hurt again. Then I worry about people telling my secrets.....

it's exhausting. It's not just guys girls too.... it just makes me tired and sad. I remember this one girl completely broke my heart with all of her lies.

The reality is the internet is as much of a real and​ genuine as real life. Because people are just as phoney. And it's not like going online suddenly makes you a robot, you have feelings and emotions that's what makes interactions worth while.

Like right now there's this guy on gosu's discord who flirts hard with me even though he knows I'm gay. And I'm not sure where the attraction for me ends and any actual friendship begins. It's a mess.....

@TwilitSona: You're probably right though it's only happened with one girl. It's always guys that treat me this way. I'm getting tired. Mostly tired of getting hurt.
I agree that most of the time it's guys but I've seen both do it
