I think there's a big difference between not having friends and deciding we don't have friends because we're disliked? I don't have any irl friends near me and don't see those irl friends I have very often. What if things were on the other side, look at how you look at other people you'd like to be friends with? Do you think they have more friends than you do or an easier time making "real" friends? The only good friends/relatives I know well who have more "friends" than I do, their friends have been around for a long time (like mine) or they aggressively went out and joined/did activities and talked to people (brrr, too scary for me :-) I think wanting to have friends and having trouble doing so once one is an "adult" is a universal wish/difficulty. I've made most of my friends as neighbors, coworkers, at volunteer/club/church (common activity) meetings, etc. I don't know any other "places" or "ways" to do it, especially when by one's self (my husband and I use to have some "bar" friends because we frequented the same restaurant the same night(s) every week)?

Do you have any PC friends you live close enough to to visit? I've met people IRL that I've met online and that often develops into a good friendship if you live close enough together to visit often enough.
