It's not a ton of people that I've befriended online. Just a few! And yes, it was during a lonelier time in my life and during a major hardship that I formed these so called friendships.

I will definitely focus more on my IRL friendships. I just cannot rely on online friends anymore, or so I've learned. And yes, perhaps it's my own expectations that are in the way, but I am who I am and I cannot change that.
