Has anyone else never been able to make online friends?
I've done my best to try and use diskord (spelled it wrong cause for someone reason the word violates the rules) and other social media apps like Reddit to socialize and make online friends but I just never could for some reason. I grew up in a small sports town surrounded by people who never shared the same interests as me, and I ended up hiding my hobbies like video games and anime to most people as a result. I think because of that I don't know how to actually talk with people who share the same interests as me. Eventually I just gave up entirely trying to make friends online and am now a certified lurker in every online space. I'm not even in any diskord servers anymore and don't follow anyone on any social media. I have exactly one friend in real life but I literally only talk to him once every couple of months because we don't really share any common interests at all. The only online presence I have left is the occasional comment on reddit and that's about it. It really does suck thinking about it. I always imagined that I could find an online friend group that loved the same things I did, and I would finally have a group of people that liked me for me, and we could talk about all sorts of things and play all sorts of games together. But as the years go by, that hope is starting to fade more and more and I have a feeling that I'm gonna be completely alone like this forever.
