If you are new to making online friends, I can help you out by giving you tips on how to be safe, if you are interested. I tend to be pretty guarded here, but have made friends elsewhere online. It’s very important to keep yourself as safe as you can (knowing that the internet isn’t a safe place to begin with). Don’t give out your last name, if you post a profile pic, use one that hasn’t been used anywhere else. An anonymous email address is good, too. Maybe this isn’t so much an issue here, but if you are single, stay away from married people! (Many are looking for extracurricular distractions and don’t care so much about you as much as the fun you can provide.)
Making friends IRL does get easier! It’s like making the first few friends is the hardest part, and after that it becomes easier.
Know that when you put out the effort, not all people will be responsive. Those that don’t make an effort to have me in their life get put on the back burner. I still have their numbers in my phone, but I don’t go out of my way to have them in my life.
Rejection can and will happen. That’s ok! It’s a part of being vulnerable. We must put ourselves out there in order to have people in our lives. If something doesn’t work out with someone, don’t give up!
