Discussion Did any of you make any friends here?

[ZardozOmega]

Let's share.
I didn't.

 

[AnxietyAttack44]

I did. Probably not considered as real friendship where you hangout and text daily, but a very nice comforting company. And it helps me

 

[Iamamistake]

All that I've been doing here is posting, not chatting~ so I didn't.
And it seems like I'm learning honesty xD usually I feel lil embarrassed about how poor I'm at making friends and keeping friendships.

 

[SpottedPanda]

I feel connected to others here, as I feel we're all, in some way or another, of a similar ilk.

I haven't chatted privately with many people here, but then again I haven't made much effort to.

 

[Zoya]

no, but I feel good about this place. People you don't know are trying to help you, that's nice.

 

[autumnal]

I seem to have made more enemies than friends!

There's a couple of people I developed some rapport with and exchanged PM's, but I would avoid definitely developing anything stronger than that. Between the need to protect ourselves from doxxing by antis, and the limited timeframe of their and/or my lifespan, I personally don't consider the forum a wise place to develop friendships.

 

[itsamadworld]

I think i'm with you there @autumnal ... But i have had some wonderful conversations with some people. So-far it cancels out the not-so-wonderful.

 

[EmbraceOfTheVoid]

Yeah, one lovely person who is imprisoned at the moment :(

 

[lostangel]

It took a bit of reaching out and getting ignored to find someone who would want to chat. I would recommend chatting to people who seem to make friendly posts on this site. I haven't made any ''real'' friends that I tell secrets to just casual ones.

 

[PrettyMoose]

Yeah there's some real nice people here who I've enjoyed interacting with. I almost wish that everyone were a bunch of assholes because it'd be easier to leave. Funny how a suicide site can make some of us want to delay suicide.

 

[Deformationalplagio]

No, there was this one dude tho who texted me that he doesnt understand why i would ctb for a serious facial skull deformity... But his reason to ctb was just because he didnt like life...

 

[Lostandfound7]

I have "met" some really amazing ppl on here, n have developed some very close bonds n genuinely love my new fam...

Like any healthy relationship irl, u have to put in the time n effort ..which is a major issue for many...

 

[Isadeth]

Connected with someone before knowing we were both on the site together. Randomly figured it out and I think it's a stronger connection to talk more openly now with one another.

Oh, the irony...smdh

 

[Kikoo Loool]

I did. We've chatted daily since we met last year in July. We could not meet, the coronavirus has pissed off the vacations we had planned together

 

[Deleted member 17331]

I don't know, some people were really nice to me and I love these people, but I try not to get too involved. I will not lie, I confess that sometimes I am jealous of those who made friends here, but I also prefer to be like this. I don't know if it will be today or tomorrow that I will say "Goodbye", whether it be me or anyone else, it would hurt me anyway.

Life seems safer when I'm alone.

 

[oivoi]

Yes! A finnish guy and a brazilian guy

 

[faust]

If you have ever hitchhiked or traveled any other way, you may know that at certain point you meet people who you are open to, even more open than to anybody else in your real life. You can tell them all those things which will normally never be told. We don't need any approval here and do not fear of judgement or that anything may affect our relationships. And I sometimes think that this is a friendship which has to be. Yes, I found a few friends there and it is great to be myself instead of hiding my real thoughts and emotions what I do almost every time outside of this forum. If we know irl we probably won't see this person again, here you can remain friends until your time comes (or not). This is something beyond recognition because most of us are used to create images of themselves. That's how society operates. Here we are free of that. Images are changed to acceptance.

 

[Red]

I feel like I've made some wonderful friends here and enjoy hearing from them daily!
If anyone feels lonely and needs a friendly ear, my inbox is open

 

[mediocre]

Yes I did but you have to talk to people over time. A friendship takes time and effort.

yeah, me too. I guess i'm not very interesting

 

[SSlostallhope]

I have made one friend . Which I feel grateful for

 

[serah]

I can barely make any friends irl. So no lol.

 

[Marktheghost]

I haven't made any friends. I've got crap social skills and have always found it hard to make friends, and it doesn't seem to be any different here.

Nobody loves me!

[NotGonnaLast]

I'd like to think I e made some friends. What do you think @idontwannadothisanym

 

[Brick In The Wall]

I've made alot of friends and lost alot of friends here. Its been a double edged sword for sure.
