Hey everyone,
I’m 23M and I’ve been struggling with something for the past few months. I’ve really been wanting to make new friends so I’ve been reaching out to people on subreddits like r4r and MakeNewFriendsHere. The thing is that no matter how many people I message, I never get a single response.
Honestly i am not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm usually try to introduce myself properly and even write more than what the post asks for so just to make them believe that I'm real and not fake anything just my honest myself but still I just get ignored every time and it's makes me feel like how honest or hard I'm trying always get ignored:(. Just this past week I sent messages to 16 different people and didn’t get a reply from anyone:( sad but true…
I’ll admit that I'm an introvert and I do struggle with expressing myself, especially in the beginning of conversations. I'm always honest about that up front but maybe that’s part of the problem?… It makes me feel like there’s something wrong with me or my personality or maybe the way I communicate…..
I guess what I’m asking is:
Is this normal for introverts?…
How do you actually make friends online and get people to respond?….
Should I just give up?..
For people who do have friends, what advice would you give to someone in my position?..
I’d really appreciate any honest thoughts or advice….
