Anyone else have a hard time making friends online?

[Ariel_Anne]

I just don't know where to meet them! I use Gaia, this website, tumblr and other sites but It seems like everywhere I go irl or online Im alone...

Anyone wanna be friends or any suggestions on how to not be so awkaward online? 

[Tasha-Pasha]

Hi Ariel!

If you ever see me in chat say hi! I love to play in chat and am super friendly!

Ummmm... Maybe try to post in the forum on threads that interest you. Ppl will respond and you can build friendships that way. Don't worry - you arent the only one who feels awkward. Just keep swimmin okay?

TBH, just put yourself out there and be yourself. Usually the right people with naturally gravitate toward you.

Well from my own experience the best option is to talk, and if they can keep a conversation, which I am sure most of the people here can, that you'll eventually befriend alot of people. Then again. I've yet to talk to someone 1on1. I is too shy. X.x

i think the hard part of making friends or initially talking to someone online is putting forth the effort in writing honest, actual, thoughtful messages to start and to continue the conversation. i feel like over the internet it's even harder, because its not being supplemented by anything else like actually hanging out in person, experiencing things together, etc. for me sometimes i go through periods of feeling/being more connected than other times,  which makes it even harder to keep online friends. 

 

le sigh.....but we try!

I have a lot of difficulty with this also. Been finding reddit's r4r and littlespacepersonals to be more useful.

It's right here! You are in the best place to meet all of us, DDlg.

 

We are all responsible, after we meet someone, to pursue a friendship. Everyone's life is busy.

 

Creating a trusting, consistent, timely relationship with longevity takes an effort on both parts.

 

I am very impressed with those members that I have been growing a connection with.

 

Consider a person's IRL= In Real Life responsibilities. In some cases, it's a miracle they find time to say hello.

 

I have friends in my real life that I have had for ages. We all have had life events that have impacted our friendships. Some friends are there for a season, not forever. Some friends are there for a reason, then they disappear. I thank them all and the door is always open for their return.

 

I have found here......

 

-There is no other strictly DDlg site that has more activity on a hourly basis

 

-Has the furthest geographic reach, people from around the globe

 

-DDlg'rs in every stage of their Lifestyle experience, beginners to advanced

 

-Active participants in all DDlg roles. Whatever you want to be, be it, here.

 

- Multi relationship styles, dating, open, monogamous, poly, single, married...

 

-A well rounded ethnic mix

 

-A broad sexual preference representation. You are into it/kink, its here.

 

-A far reaching age span in all areas

 

-Every style/look is here....body type, height, weight, hair, tattoos, piercings...

 

-People are nice, helpful, welcoming, giving, concerned, wise....

 

-Diverse economic, educational, professional, family background, political

 

-There are so many members and guests that never surface, but they are

there in their comfort zone.

 

The member you meet today could change your life if you are a good friend.

Enjoy!

I love this post. It sums up everything that is amazing about this forum.

[Guest LittleLexiKitty]

Im always here if you ever need a friend

[splendabae]

i know how you feel! i used to be the same, it would take me weeks to even post in the forums of any site i was part of. it's very hard to get past that, but all you can do is try for small victories. try making friends with us, that's a start! pls talk to me whenever you want

[hime]

I understand you so much... I think my problem is I value a friendship so much even they are far but some people nowdays are not like that.

Thinking in positive way, maybe we just didn't meet the correct people and you can make friends here as well. I won't give up either tho... ♥

I have made one friend online in 15 years (aka my darling sweet kitten).

So yes...

But then again, in IRL, I can't say I have made a truer friend in that time as she is my soulmate.

 

I think with online, there is a lot you don't know about a person (gaps), and as a good and hopeful person (which I sense you are), you fill that gap with a positive assumption. But online...there are a LOT of gaps...and if you fill them all up with a positive assumption, then that other person seems pretty great pretty quickly!

 

Don't be afraid to ask. To find out more about someone. They can be a truly great person, a truly great friend to others but not a great friend to YOU because you need things they don't offer.

 

What was a great start for me was understanding what I needed in a friend. I understood that by first understanding myself. That was something I achieved...in my mid thirties so friendships have been easier since then. 

 

As with the other replies, feel free to talk to me anytime. I'm a FANTASTIC person, could be a great friend to you, could be absolutely terrible. idk!

You can always start off in the chat! Although it gets too much at times but its a great place to know new people. I have known some awesome people in there. If you ever see me there, say hi or you can always drop me a message, i always reply. (i'm like sitting by the mailbox waiting for a "letter" everyday. *giggles*)

[suga]

I totally understand. I'm very socially awkward and it doesn't seem like being behind a screen helps me like it helps other people. And it's hard for me to keep a conversation going or to initiate a conversation, so most people seem to get bored of me and leave   

 

I'm hoping I can make friends here for once

[Cutieebbabyy]

Yes! Feeling socially awkward is a problem for me too. Its hard to initiate conversations with other people without a "starter topic"

[Space Princess]

I'm socially awkward too but I really want friends so bad ;-; it's really lonely irl..

[Breebreelovee1169]

I would love to be friends with you, you seem sweet and nice
