[1337]

if this post is in a wrong section i can move it.

im not a selective person

if you are kind thats alright.

you can dm me if you want.

you may look up my last posts to decide.

i really dont know if this post is against the guidelines of the forum. i can delete this post if moderators wish.

i had some online friends in the past and it was a nice experience.

i thought that people on this forum are very openminded and it would be nice to be friends.

i wasnt looking this forum for over a month and first think i see was a mods *suicide*.

i hope everybody is doing fine! have a nice day!

Good luck with your search, however, also be careful getting too attached to online friends... Are there some people I met online in the 2010s that I'm still talking to on a weekly basis? Yes, absolutely! But are there also some people I grew a deep connection to, only for them to abandon or delete their account without notice, completely crushing me? Sadly yes, it happens all the time. So if you start getting attached, take it slow and remind yourself you don't really know someone until you've actually met them. Most of these people you talk to online you will never meet, and while that's okay, you also need to protect your emotions and be open to the possibility that they could leave at any time for any reason, and due to the nature of the internet you may never know who they really were. These aren't the same as in person friends who you have a tangible connection to, and visit their houses, and meet their mutual friends and family. You've gotta remember, as good of friends as you think you may be with these people, you've most likely never been to their house and never will. It's a hard reality to face, but if you face it now, you'll save yourself a lot of heartbreak, trust me. Have as much fun with them as you can, with proper emotional safeguards in place, prepared for any day with them to be your last.

thank you for your warning. i experienced this thing before. online friends are good as soon as you dont get too attached to them i take this as a rule.

Have a nice day!

My advice: do it but to hang in person afterwards. You need to know them in person to consider a close friendship.
