I think it can be hard because sometimes people act weird when you reach out as an internet stranger. Sometimes it feels like people want to cool guy you and not engage but there’s definitely places like here and more niche forums where people definitely still want to jibber jabber and be buds.
Probably my farthest flung internet friend is from Malaysia and we just yak about wristwatches.

Yesss I always expect that to be the case and end up not reaching out at all lol. The comments on this post are reassuring though!

hiii i so second this, it's really hard to make friends these days and i feel like most of us have found too much comfort in being a recluse. i personally don't have many tips for making friends in person but if you'd b interested in some internet penpals i'm trying to get a little group together :)
