Need friends... :(

Post Reply New Topic

Nowadays, a lot of people looking for significant others meet online, so I wouldn't quite say that online relationships are last-ditch efforts to find people. But as I said before, the online relationship (romantic and platonic) won't get very far if it stays online; there's so much about the other person that you don't really understand, that only a face-to-face interaction is going to give. So the only way to make the online relationship survive is to convert it into a real-life relationship, but that most of the time the sheer physical distance precludes the two of you from interacting face-to-face all the time, and hence you're relegated to interacting online.

I met my good friend online, and I was fortunate enough to be able to meet him face-to-face. And we're even on different continents! Unfortunately, our own AS communication problems (this was an AS-AS relationship) have almost completely destroyed the friendship. At least we met in real life, and we had a considerably better understanding of each other.

I'm 15. I didn't drop out of school, mum took me out...

Are you being homeschooled now, or has your mom completely given up on giving you an education?

Welllllll Excuuuuuuuusssee Meeeeeeee ! !! !

I disagree with bchris02. Online friendship isn't as good as real life friendship, but not everybody's going to abandon their online friends the second they get a social life of their own. I've had a few online friends who had a social life, they just kept it seperate from their online life.

I agree that real friendship is better than online friendship because you never actually know the person until you meet him/her face to face. People who waste their lives away on the internet trying to make friends need to stop being losers and actually get into the real world and make friends away from the computer. I know that most people here are absolutely dependent upon WP for friendships, and I think that's really sad. To those of you who are completely dependent on WP for friendships, I encourage you to get help, and learn some social skills, so you can experience friendship at its best.

Online friendship was all I had for a long time, and I have two very close friends that I wouldn't have made had it not been for the internet (and who I've met in person, as well).

I also have managed to get out and talk to people in real life, so I think I can truly say that I've experienced the best of both worlds in that regard.

I do this thing called Open Access...

I don't know if you're deranged. Do you go out, randomly choose women, brutally murder them and dot their corpses around the house as mannequins?

Not that I've ever met anyone who's actually admitted to doing that, of course...

Mhm... There HAS to be a way to make friends...

I think you need social skills training, and maturity because most normal 15 year old girls don't play with bionicles.

That's the thing, I'm different from 'normal' 15 year old girls.

Is it just me, or is the way Kahadhea phrases questions and words things come off as really rude and aggressive? I think you could do with learning some social skills too.

Know how you feel.

I'm a friend to all (I think) but have no true friends. Only 1, but we are loosely in touch. And at this moment in time, I don't really want to learn social skills as I prefer to be on my own.

Sorry. I apologize if that came off as rude and agressive, that was not my intent.

well, what do ou know! i am pretty much friendless too, and i still go to school! send me a pm! i have one friend and he is sort of secretive about our friendship, almost everyone else that he consideres his friends are jerks towards me, just like everyone at school! (pretty much everyone anyway)
