Forums General Chit-Chat Having difficulty connecting socially online

Donator — UWU/ Posted 4 years ago ( 2020/08/26 15:49:28 )
Irl can be challenging but to me it's the opposite these days. I am considering to open up a hangouts thread but.. I dunno.. social and communication (more on making friends side).. its increasingly difficult.

But other than that, I'm generally doing good.

"Don't ask your questions to the wall..."


I think reaching out and trying to learn about other people will help! If they do the same then you can discuss common interests/etc - it took an on-site event for me to get social tho lol

I quit Voltra. Read my profile.

I find it hard to make friends both online and irl these days. Maybe I'm just an old man but Idk what people do to connect anymore.
Like....I'm hip ;__; I got memes.
So I just lurk now.

@Totalanimefan: Yea I agree. the flow of time on staying online is much different this year so I am not able to catch up with events as much as I want to. I will consider create a hangout thread eventually. Weekend is coming soon.


@0v7: I agree with not trying to stop attempting to communicate when possible. it is sometimes that on my end i feel like its not changing anytime soon. thats pretty much the dilemma that my mind keeps on saying.


@Ouja Akuma: I love memes too xD I made comics in the past too.

Man or woman... It doesn't matter! One of Strength.. And nobility...

Bruuuuh preach!
I mainly only talk to one person here and that's because I knew her before coming to voltra ;3;
I sorta feel like a creep plopping myself into a hangout thread and trying to start up some convos =3=;;;;;
I also feel reeaaalll awkward reaching out to people after not talking to them for a while, so if I poof for like 1 week+ I'll be a bit to afraid to say hello again if we didn't already have a decently established friendship >n<;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
I typically make my own hangout thread and hope people come to me lmao
Haven't done that in a while cuz tbh my social tolerance as of late hasn't been as high as it used to be and tending to my own thread sounds like more work than I wanna do rn lmao

This is a tough year and tougher circumstances to deal with for so many people.

Personally, I haven't even talked to my RL friends very often recently - it's just soooo much effort sometimes - but I've also noticed a correlation with how much "news" I subject myself to... if I can limit "news" overload for a while, I'm more likely to reach out and connect with people. :3

@Kairu: I love memes. I love comics. I haven't drawn many comics lately due to school and work but slowly...chipping...away.


@Totalanimefan: I've met amazing people through the language of memes uwu

"just put yourself out there!"

I rarely talk to anyone on online (kind of) and in real life tbh. Though it's not like I have RL friends since I'm not much of a social person and find it much harder to make a new friend these days, especially this year where the pandemic is still there.

Maybe I thought that I wasn't interesting enough, I suppose.

@Kairu: I've been drawing comics for about 15 years...maybe more? I started when I was like 12 lol. I still have all my comics I tried drawing and man, they're bad lmaooo. I label myself as a Webcomic Artist just because it's something I've been doing and will continue doing forever. I want to get published and sell at cons, that's an absolute dream of mine ;u; And working on comics full time.

@Ouja Akuma: we can collab if you want to. maybe a short series or one shot would be a good start. i have discord account also

i dunno what path of art will i do in the future but for now, ill do what i can in my small free time per day.

@Kairu: Oo a collab! I've never done that before. Not even for normal art lol. I don't have many art friends unfortunately.

Would you say that people are more awkward/anxious online?

Something I seem to have noticed over my years on the net, but perhaps that is just a human thing in-general, not bound solely to the boundaries of the internet.
