How do you make friends?

[Kyu-Momo]

Usually? I don't.

The meaning of 'friends' on the internet seems to have become 'add a stranger's made-up name to a list and then never interact with them again'.

Trying to form a meaningful relationship in a sea of strangers with no way to verify that anything they say is true is usually a fool's errand and can backfire spectacularly.


Not to mention, text is an awful way to communicate and can be easily taken the wrong way. Tone of voice and expression give a ton of clues and with text that's just gone, but hey, at least Discord voice chat helps with that.

That's not to say it's impossible, just very unlikely.
Also, I'm lazy. lol

TL;DR: Sometimes I'm very thankful I'm an introvert! xD

I mean, I met someone on the internet once, and we've been married for 13 years now, but that's a one-in-a-million shot.
