A place for me and my friends to hang out and chat?

B-b-but... what if I don't have friends.

I feel you. :c

We're obviously too cool for traditional social interaction.

Obvs. Lol, but I did have quite a few friends on here back in the day. -cough- like 2 years ago -cough- Buuut a lot of them left/ aren't very active anymore.

Same here. It's been about four years since I started and after a long hiatus, it's not as happenin'.

I hang out in the Shoutbox, but... a lot of people in the SB are reallllly stupid. (Or I'm just mean and judgmental)

Yeah, I'm not very fond of the Shoutbox. It is quite hard to find semi-favorable users around lately.

The SB is a haven for free things if you're nice enough. I'm a terrible person for going there because of this, but it's the truth.

You seem pretty a-ok to me.

Well shucks. c: You seem pretty a-ok to me, as well. Is it sad that I'm a lot easier at making friends online than irl? x:

Nah, I think a lot of us have that problem. I don't really have a problem making friends IRL, but I just don't like people very much in general and it's easier to weed out negative/lame/bullshit people in real life than it is online.

Online you don't have any pretenses, you can be whomever you want to be. It makes friendship easier for some people.

That's a nice way to look at it, heh. Literally everyone I've ever gotten close to irl has either left me, stabbed me in the back, or I've ended up pushing away. I like the concept of having someone to hang out with constantly, but then I'm all "No, I don't like you. You're annoying. Bye."

I am EXACTLY like you. I think my problem is that I'm a very intense friend - I'm not needy, or pushy, but I'm one hundred percent your friend from day one. At my age (22), a lot of people seem to prefer fuck buddies, acquaintances, and casual drinking pals than real, bonded relationships.

I have my beau, who is the love of my life after 2.5 years, and two dear best friends, but unfortunately life has put them far away from me since we all moved away for school and work. It's rough.

Yeah, I feel the same. I'm still in school, so I think I'm going through the whole bi-polar stage of being a teen. (mother nature ftw.) I recently lost about 3 of my close friends due to all of the reasons said in my last post. Meh. I have a lot of relatively close friends, but nothing major.

College changes things. In high school, you're all raging through hormones and rebellion and class and finally starting to see yourself as an adult - once you get to college, you find that EVERYONE wants that sort of friendship and a lot of them have left it behind wherever they came from.

Or, at least, that's how it seemed to me.

I sure hope so. But I've been told the same plenty of times.

There's no guarantees with anything. College sucked for me and then I met beau and he helped me get out of the dark corners of my own mind into the sun. Everything sucks all the time to everybody. Just gotta find your place in the world and kick it's ass, I guess. :)

Nice advice. c: I'll have to start living by that, hah.

Take my advice with a thousand grains of salt. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. I just try to figure life out as it comes at me and that seems to work.

Aren't we all?

I've been here a year and I don't have friends either. >:

Ha, yeah...subeta is a pretty hard place to make friends for some reason :/ If I didn't have the friends I came with from neopets, I don't think I'd be able to make any either....people seem pretty cliquey here, Or...you try and talk to people and get either A - Ignord, B - A one word reply like 'yep' Where the hell do you go with this?!? Or C - A snarky response that leaves you with the 'why the fuck did I just bother with this person' feeling.
