So...have do you make friends?

[ChaoticCrimson]

I've never really played any MMOs before this one, so I'm still trying to figure out the social dynamic a bit lol. I still have a bit of social anxiety, though it's not as bad as it once was and I tend to be a bit more comfortable talking to people online. The hardest part for me is getting through the first bits of conversation and getting to know people, but once I'm comfortable with a person/people I can be a lot more outgoing. But anyway, yeah I can relate to this haha.

How I make friends:

(To OP) "Hi friend how are you?" :3

I have a small FC that is really a small family. One day I just ran into this damn lala that started talking with me, and I've been proud to be a part of the family for the past 2 years now. It's grown a bit, but the core never changes. Sometimes you just don't know who youll run across when you just throw out a friendly "Hello"

I’ve met people through PF; made some friends farming Diadem 2.0 to finally get the mount; and I’ve made a couple friends from the OF as well. :3 I’m fairly quiet in FFXIV and in real life, and I’m really shy, but sometimes you just meet someone and click with them. I just try to be as polite as I can, help when and where I can, and eventually, I end up talking more with someone, who eventually becomes a good friend. But you have to put yourself out there; people won’t always come to you. Sometimes, they do, but such is a rarity. Don’t be afraid. There are lots of people out there who are kind, and a lot of people out there that also want friends.

Do you have any good advice? It's depressing how I'm feeling lonely in such a game.

I would've been happy to do stuff with you in-game, but alas, different data centers. :/

I just kinda make people be my friends! Met someone nice in a FATE party? Claim them as a friend. I left an FC but was still friends with a couple people, I made all the new members be my friends. I know it sounds crazy and a little obnoxious, but I've had some really good friendships come from it. My husband and a couple other people found a tank in DF, he was on our server, now we have been playing together since the beginning of 2.0. A lot of it comes down to just talking to strangers, and continuing to talk to them. Even if you just start by waving at them every time you see them.
