its a really good question that we probably should ask ourself more often considering the purpose of this forum.
Personally I don t really have a lot of friends here, only chat with one person, I don't go to other people because I wouldn't like to impose myself onto them.
But I didn't really think of the eventuality that she/he would be gone, but I probably do like I do IRL not protecting myself because that's just not me, and get freaking sad yes but happy if she/he find peace!
We had a couple sayings when I was a kid that I really liked. One was no guts no glory. The other was life is a numbers game.
The first one's kind of self-explanatory. We have to reach out to make friends. Someone has to step up to try and reach out because if we all sit back and wait and everyone's sitting back and waiting no friendship will ever be made.
Tomorrow make it an objective to reach out to three people that you've admire on the form and try to make friendship. Worst case they don't respond best case you have three friends. Most importantly you'll have the sense of accomplishment that you had the courage to approach others. This is a great feeling.
It's all a numbers game kind of illustrated above, and again here - reach out to 10 people and figure seven will say no (who cares - plenty of fish in the sea) and three will say yes and then you've got three new friends! Same idea with dating!
Sorry if I'm sounding like your dads' right now. But, it's true.
The little bit of stress from interacting on the side sets me off I'm learning.
Plus, hearing about not having friends bothered me. So I came back.
The good news is in five and a half hours McDonald's opens and I can go get my coffee. Lol
I got a new phone last week that's bugging me because every time I'm rebooted the brightness level drops like 12%.
I have to go into settings to adjust it so I can see.

If you think that you're shy you just have to take baby steps that's the way to overcome it.
