So lemme try and make a long story short:

Two years ago when I moved to Georgia and transferred to my new high school, I pretty much shut myself off from human interaction because 98.9% of the students were beyond incredibly stupid. Not to mention, I've never been the type to just REACH out to people to be their friend. But even then I still wanted to have friends.

So I went onto Kik and started joining groups. It was weird at first because I used to be averse to long distance relationships of ANY kind, but it was easy to shed that way of thinking. I made good friends that I still talk to today. We've been through so much MESS and we haven't even met each other in real life yet :kii:


I prefer meeting people online/over social media because I can be very reserved around strangers in real life. But with my online friends, we only texted each other in the beginning, and then eventually made the switch to calling each other and video chatting once we were comfortable enough with each other.

I think the main reason I prefer meeting people online is because you don't have to present yourself immediately, y'know? The physical aspect is pushed to the back burner and your personalities get to meet first. Our souls can discover one another and become friends quicker. And when we meet, shit won't be so awkward.

What about y'all? Is it easier to meet/get to know people over social media or is it actually easier to meet people in real life?

I don?t make friends on social media tbh
I only talk to people I know and are already friends with

I have to be able to discern who you are before I let you into my space

IRL

I think my sarcasm and bluntness reads as mean online so people think I don't use, well on message boards anyway.

IG is weird cause people decided if they "like" you based on your look.

But yeah, I think I make a better impression in person.

It depends when people first meet me online my humor can come off as too much until they get to know how I operate

IRL I come off more timid and quiet when I first meet people because my personality can be a bit much to some so I try and ease them into it, but they get so used to the ?reserved? me they mistake my sense of humor as me being mean.

It really takes a right time mess for me to get along with people tbh

Like Romero said, sometimes you have to meet me first to understand my sense of humor and know that I'm so harmless. But I think Im pretty good at reading people and working them into my sense of humor. :dead:

I think with social media, it's easier to build friendships with interesting people that you actually have a lot of things in common with. And it doesnt feel forced... Its kinda weird how close you can get to someone and never meet them physically. When you build an actual friendship through social media, its SO genuine because there's no obligations or demands. You genuinely just took an interest in each other's lives and created a bond beyond the social media platform.

Tbh I am more stand offish IRL

I let alot of things go online that I wouldn't IRL and like some people are just draining and annoying so I'm more like to not even put in the effort that is required to build a friendship with certain people

Oh girl Ihated everyone in high school even though I loved to watch their crazy asses.

I moved back to my hometown after I graduated from College a few months ago and I still keep to myself cause I just HATE how these people operate.
