We'd need a response from you to continue anything here As an aside, may I suggest you look up TBF's thread on the same board? Good advice all around there, along with his replies being helpful in turn. More details help threads like these--and I wonder as an aside what brought you to B12 and have this thread as your first post?

Yeah, I've noticed that the people bemoaning the lack of friends tend to be very abrupt and non-chatty. Funny that.

I generally think joining discord or team-speak servers to be quite a good way to get friends online.

I am in need of friends on the Internet. What is a good way to find them?

Posting photos of cats cosplaying as Dwarf's should do the trick.

Make a discord account and join the bay12 discord.

Maybe you won't make a friend. But you'll find someone you can talk to!

Edit: Fixed.

Longer-term than I expected.

find people on omegle, and refer to them as "Best Friend" instead of their name or pseudonym.

I bag a new friend at least every day!

[Nightcore Angel]

say to them...

"Come now, surely we can be friends
I know so much about you
I love you
look at everything I've done for you
You'd be nothing without me"

You will instant BFF everyone you met in the internet

In all seriousness though, one way is to communicate and keep communicating--to also love oneself else there'll be quite a personal problem in receiving criticism or having an imbalance in thinking about others and yourself. Treating others with compassion and connecting to them is also a needed part of 'getting' and having friends.

Obviously there's a lot more to this but it won't get anywhere without mutual communication (about the topic itself...and this thread ._.). The utter majority of people however, especially on the internet, aren't asocial or anti-social by nature or intent, so it's a matter of both general respect and connection / communication as a start.

He was quiet, he was shy
A stay-at-home sort of guy
Someone you'd trust your sister with
Had a twinkle in his eye

Yet they say he was "psychotic"
They say "psychotically disturbed"
He was "mentally unbalanced", a "schizophrenic mass murderer with severe personality disorders"
... They used their "jargonistic words"

So he killed and mutilated (so what?)
Served his victim on a tray ...
But Jeffrey Dahmer was my friend ... okay?

Tuesday nights we'd go out bowling
And he'd blow those pins to hell
He'd watch what he'd eat
And it watched him as well ....

Friends, friends
We can all be friends
If we just let the little hurt Between us mend
