Am I just delusional, or shall we make friends…? I hate interaction in real life, but over the Internet friends seems rather different.

Pretty much my social life online now, Guess the good part about it is you don’t have to leave the house and can shut down when you need to.
Some say it’s not healthy but it’s comfy and at least some interaction where you can let out what you have to say, I’m sure many here find it comforting

Hope you will enjoy the forum and feel friendship on some level with people here or support and socialising.
I do not have friends in person either.
No one I meet ,hang out with etc
Good for you that you can connect online or have friends online.
I don’t know if I can get my spirit n energy online n free to socialise …

Man, I haven’t had more than one or two or maybe three * real * friends in my life at the same time. Don’t feel like you’re abnormal also- the illness makes our social interactions harder.

100% of my friends are online friends. Though maybe not 100%. I have a friend that I know IRL, but I met her online and most of our communication is online. So I guess I have IRL friends now.
I saw in another thread you’re from Indiana, That’s where I grew up!

I have no RL friends. I have a few non family friends on facebook via forums but only a couple that regularly reply to what I post. One of the non family friends dumped me recently without explanation. I was told by a third party it was because we disagreed about the leader of the political party we both support.
It is awkward because we both belong to a small private facebook group.
I hope you get a lot out of being here. A big welcome.

Welcome to the forum. I’m only around 5’6". You can get friends if you share a hobby. I had one but it cost money so I can’t do it now since I don’t have a job.
