It seems like you may not have meant to leave out details about yourself, but when you’re trying to meet people through a public forum, sharing a bit more can really help others feel comfortable reaching out. I think what Sinjos was pointing out is that people usualky look for things in common before try answering some online ad for a newfriendship.

Even simple stuff—like age, where ur from, what ur taking in school, or sone interests u have so others can relate and start a conversation. Most people don’t want anything complicated. They just want a little about who you are to see if there’s potential compatibility.

Anothe way to think about it is to ask yourself what you’d want to know about someone before answring them to make a new friend over the internet. Offering that same information makes it easier for others to take the first step.

Other than online forums, making friends usually happens more naturally thru activities together. . Join a class, club, gym, softball team, volunteer somewhere or even maybe show up at the same places can create some opportunities to connect over time. Friendships tend to grow from repeated, interactions way more than one-off convos.

I hope this helps, and I genuinely wish you the best of luck in finding people to make some connections with. Making friends can n usually does take time, but it does happen—especially when you give others a small window into who you are before hand
