I feel a bond to people online?

8 Comments

I like to watch other people do things on Youtube.
For example, review movies or play video games.
When I'm doing this, I kinda feel like I'm in the room with that person and that we're friends of some sort.

As you could probably guess, I don't have any friends in real life. Not because I'm too lazy to get up and get some,
I just don't like to interact with many people in real life.
I know that's kinda confusing, but that's how it is.

Is this normal?

    Some people even feel that way about certain television shows. I think you're normal. I hope you find some good friends in real-life one day. (:

    Actually it is possible to build a friendship with someone you meet virtually, mainly if you expand it to skype calls, texting and whatnot, and eventually meet for real of course. But, do you talk to these people or just watch their videos?

    The guy I like lives about 7.5-8 hours away. We text, which is more personal than Facebooking and I plan on meeting him. I get a bit defensive when it comes to him; it wouldn't be fair if I lose touch with him and those other broads don't just cause they live closer. This one broad who comments on his shit gets on my NERVES. Sorry, I'm rambling now but you get the idea.

    Sorry buddy but... The whole not wanting to be with people so much i know all about that..

    But don't you have atleast one?.. Or 2' very good friends?..

    If you don't have a past of memories including you and some good (Perhaps best or only friends) having fun then it's really sad. Just my coins.

      Well, I didn't really intend of making myself look sad.
      Yes, I have had past friends and plenty of good times.
      Just because I'm not really a people-person doesn't make me grumpy or whatever.

      I DO have friends online, if that helps
      and, in a way, my parents are also my friends,
      as strange as that might sound to some people.

    I have friends in real life but I would say fuck them if Boogie 2988 was on livestream. He is like my favorite person in the world.
