I want friends so bad it's crazy

I used to care what people thought of me, like whether or not they thought I was pathetic and desperate. But now I'm being straight forward about it and asking whether or not someone wants to be friends. Currently I have two people that I have a possibility of friendship:1 I met her on a YouTube live stream and she gave me her Twitter (she has been inactive since November) 2 she was on a YouTube video for lonely people and gave her Instagram so lonely people can talk to her. I don't know how Instagram works as I am new to it so I don't know how to contact her. But yeah, I've been watching Shane Dawson videos and it makes me sad because I don't have friends I can have fun times with.

    Paradoxically actively seeking relationships is the best way to not find any. Just calm down. Put yourself in organic situations like: work, school, hobbies etc. and you will meet people in a natural way. Your 'try hard' attitude often rubs people the wrong way as it comes across as clingy and desperate. Purely online relationships are not wholesome and will not fulfill your needs.

    • Actually I did meet some people, one is cool, two seems to kill time by talking to me and three is a cool person but not very talkative. I haven't looked desperate yet because I'm not entirely desperate just sometimes I have bouts of sadness.

    I have only one friend, and have often had none. So, I supplement with social media. Even though many people here are fake alt personalities, they are characters made by a real person. IIN is like going to a party where everybody is half drunk. Fuckoffmanship is the keynote of the festivities.

    Its very hard to meet people online who actually care and will keep up a solid friendship but there are some apps out there that give you a good start.
    I wish you good luck.

    There are many social apps on playstore which connects you to random users. I was just checking such apps,got connected to a beautiful girl but I turned my screen towards wall because I wasn't interested and uninstalled app so I don't remember the name of that app.

    • Yes, I did just make a profile on this website for friends and this girl on the website has responded so I now have another possible friend. There is a guy that messaged me but he is significantly older than me so I don't know how I feel about him. I'm responding to his messages but am waiting for it to get creepy. I guess that is the price of putting yourself out there.

        If he's like 20 years older, then yea theres a age difference, but i dont see whats wrong with still just being friends with him :)

        I can be friends with anyone. Age doesnt matter to me.

        I actually talk to a guy who could be my dad or my grandpa at work, and he's a cool guy

        • 14 years but I'm still a minor and it's online so you never know someone's intentions.

            True but if you get to know the person well enough.

            Then it might be different :)

            Up to you though

    Just a thought, you could get off the internet and look for friends in the real world.
    If that's not possible, instagram is really easy to use, just type her username into the search bar and click follow. There you can message her or comment on stuff.

    • Unfortunately I can't meet people in real life so it must be online. I do follow her but I don't know how to message her and she posts pictures of her and who I'm assuming is her friends so I'm not sure what I'd write.

        There should be a message button to the right of their profile photo, underneath the bit that tells you how many followers they have, you can't miss it :)

          I hope you didn't just help a stalker.

            Well me too, google would have told him if I didn't. I assume he's was just a lonely kid.
