Hey! Is it just me or it's really hard to find online friends these days?
I used to have a lot of online friends on discord back in 2017-2020, hmmm I wonder why,,
Is it because everyone are still friends to those ppl they met before 2022? Come to think of it, when you join a discord server and you see a group of friends, usually their friend group lasted a year or more than a year.
I took a break from discord after losing friends for like 7 months or more, and as expected there none left when i went back that's why i tried finding other people but it's really so hard trying to fit in. Who would wanna try to fit in on a friend group that has been friends for a year and you're just the only one new? I'd rather stay alone at this point than knowing they would probably talk shit about me and have another drama or fights.
Anyways, that's all and let me know if you also think the same way as I do! 'cause I'm really curious if it's just me. We can be friends too if you want because I'd definitely love that!
Just check my profile to see some of my infos and contacts!

tbh I think one of the main reasons it's harder to make friends after 2020 is because ppl had to go back to their lives after quarantine. 2021 wasn't so bad i believe the correct word is "dramatic" since everybody had been locked up being all negative and taking it out on other ppl or having a dramatic change in their mental health and beliefs...Personally my activity on social media after 2021 decreased a loooot, it came to the point that I didnt even wanna talk to my friends for no reason at all. I remember I had constant fights with my fiance (bf at the time) cuz I used to take my negativity out on him then i came to realise social media itself is causing so much stress & negativity. LOADS OF AGENDAS LOADS OF HATE LOADS OF DRAMAS!! I deactivated all my social media rn till I get the energy to go back and I'm on this site to try smth "less dramatic" lol. I just think the human psychology, behavior, thoughts, and even patience & sympathy changed a lot after lockup. I hope things go back to how it used to be.

i agree. in 2020 making friends was way easier, i could go on tiktok and search up "discord server" and find a good one with my age group, then join it and BAM! i got a ton of new friends. but now we all grew apart and dont talk anymore. i left all old servers i was in cause they were all dry as hell.
it suckz but ig people have to move on.
no cuz this is so fkn true, wana bmf?

I think in general when I was younger making online friends was incredibly easy, it's surprising to know that 12-year-old me had better social skills than I do now. Also, age gaps play huge part, I feel its easier here cause almost everyone is 16+

nobody has the attention span for long term friends anymore

Yeah I used to have a lot of online friends and now. Everyone’s just kind of distant but that’s because I have been too. I judged myself too much for having “online friends” cos I thought it made me a loser. I stopped involving myself so much with what was happening online and whatnot and kinda fell out of the loop and forgot how to blend in with everyone else. I did force myself to make more irl friends which I have now, but they’re different to online friends. Like irl friends you mostly find cos they’re close to you in location or occupation, but online friends you make purely by shared interests, which in a lot of ways can actually be more fun than irl friends.
I think what makes it easy to make friends online (& irl too) is ur ability to express urself without thinking about being cringe or judgement. People will be magnetically drawn to u. I think that as a population, people have been more withdrawn ever since covid especially. People are more afraid to just speak in case they’re judged which also makes it more difficult to create genuine connections & the people from the past are just always constantly Changing, so we’ll never find in them the same things we found in them yesterday. I’m rambling now but that’s my 2 cents
I get you a lot cause this is exactly what I thought too

I know what you mean. I also find it very hard to reach out to people even online so that might be part of the problem.
Oh I'm glad to know that it isn't just me! And yeah exactly what you just said,,
