This post will be dripping with desperation as I just need someone to talk to, moved away from my few friends in my hometown and have been pretty isolated for a while. I'm a 22 year old probably autistic dude (I think, you know how confusing that can be). I have some interests that I've been losing due to depression but I can still talk about them, music, art, politics (duh), science and philosophy stuff. I can also just bullshit about anything I love people and talking to them it's just hard for me to reach out. I've been active here for years but not really conversational with people as I feel disconnected like I don't belong in whatever community I'm in, even this one as accepting as it is. Maybe shoot me a dm and we can talk here or through somewhere else ,I'd really appreciate it. Going through mental health struggles and that shit , so fucking stressed and broke. I thought about asking for money here but I still think others need it more and just having someone else to talk to could probably help me more. <3
You sound like a cool guy but friendships online can be difficult as you aren't really in each others life. If there's a place you could go like a church, cricket club, etc where people are social I would reccomend doing that so you can build real life networks
Wishing you the absolute best of luck
I've never had online friends before but I have a friend who pretty much only ever had online friends her entire life and her girlfriend moved in with her recently and she sees somebody IRL from that online group once every few months
I think it's fine as long as you still try to socialize IRL, whether it's meeting said online friends or gaining confidence and social skills to be out in the real world because you had online friends rather no friends
