It never really occurred to me I might just not have those specific social skills nailed down. 😅 Because irl, I have plenty of ease chatting people up and making new friends. Same with dating or professional networking, it all comes naturally in person.
But online, in writing, it’s so awkward for me. I see folks make long term friendships just hanging out in group chats or discord servers. Meanwhile, I manage to just get into arguments and not really manage to share anything interesting about myself otherwise. I might just not be finding my people, but who knows where that is right?
Anyone got pro tips for making friends in text chats or forums?


Same tbh. I don’t have any tips but would love to learn! I’m also awful at keeping long distance friendships unless they’re okay to just exchange memes every day.
Dude… Be my friend!! In fact, if it’s going to be a daily stream of quality memes then that’s more marriage material for me, let’s go!
Something tells me, this will be an ongoing theme in the comments. Let’s all do our best! :)
