  • Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

I have many acquaintances , people i barely know but used to talk to them sometimes thanks to my previous occupation.. i used to meet loads and loads of people.
But friends?

0.

If we mean friend as : someone who cares about you and wants to talk to you just he/she want and doesn't need something from you.

Zero. I never had a friend or acquaintance in my entire life. No wonder why I'm so fucked up

It depends on exactly what you mean.

There's one person I know IRL who I guess you could consider a friend. Although he's male and I just naturally cannot emotionally connect to men properly in the same way that I can with women. Hence the "maybe."

There's maybe like 2 people I know online who you maaaaaaaaaaaaaaay be able to consider sort of friends, but that might be reaching since we don't actually talk that much anymore.

So arguably 0, 1 or 3 depending on how you count.

Can I ask how you make online friends (in terms of sites and means)?
Any type of live chat where you can join a large group of people to talk is a good start. Discord comes to mind for example. You can try the chat here too. If you have reason to talk to someone with a 1 on 1 conversation on a messaging app (ex. Telegram, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Discord) you can keep talking to them and be friends.

I just wanna know if it's weird that I only have 2 people I'd actually consider solid friends, one online one irl. I usually don't have that many friends at any given time. I feel like if those relationships fall apart my emotional state will plummet
I think two is pretty good. It depends what counts as a friend as well. Oh, and I have maybe two or three. Lots of acquaintances. Just enough to drain my social battery.

Zero. Even online.

It wasn't always this way.

If you mean people I will call a friend and who will call me a friend: many, with varying degrees of closeness and current relevance.

But close friends? Whom I can confide in and/or depend on? None.

I have like 30+ friends. I am a sociable person who is able to easily make friends. The problem is is that I feel like none of them are real friends if you know what I mean. Lots of friendships of convenience or where I put all the effort in. And the few friendships where they put effort into me, I don't have time or energy for because I maintain all those other relationships. I kinda want just a small group of maybe 4 friends. But that seems unlikely now. Just chiming in to say that the grass is always greener on the other side.

I wouldn't say 0, but most of the relation I have is centered on my partner, every acquaintance I know is like someone my partner also know, outside my partner I have no content, and because of my relationship with my partner that's now left in vagueness, the other connection are now also left in vague
I rarely communicate with them now since I'm busy and life responsibility keep pulling me away

I used to have a lot before they all abandoned me in high school :((( now, I have zero irl's~
A lot of online friends tho! hehe~ It's much easier to talk to people and actually be yourself here after all! xD Just try to talk to people one-on-one and respond as nicely, warmly, and quickly as you can~ :)
