How do u make friends in communities?
I know this is a heavily asked question & I know making friends takes time & effort but like- any tips even?
I've been on the internet for a while & only have made 1 friend ovr the whole time, I understand no one owes me friendship or anything, but it's hard not to feel lonely. I love my friend(/p) with all my heart. & I've tried so many ways 2 make new friends but my efforts never work :c Is there something I can b doing better? I want friends like me ig? (alterhumans, xenogender users, alternative ppl & j-fashion enjoyers ect ect) But like- how??? .·°՞(¯□¯)՞°·.

Sorry i have not been posting as much :( and I'm sorry that these are only highlights- my phone got bricked so i wasn't able to back the full videos up, so this is pretty much all i have because I sent these clips to a friend and was able to redownload them from our conversation. Next weekend i am going to try to recover the full vidoes (very high chance it won't work - but if it does, i will be back with full videos!!) Enjoy these til then. Thank you for being patient. Ily
+ I got to talk to Sean for a few minutes! He signed two of my albums and answered all of my questions, he truly couldn't have been any kinder. Attached are two photos i took + my signed stuff :) — no word on a new album, but if he's playing three new songs at a show, something has to be in the works, right??
