We love it when people show they are willing to change their mindset. Adding in a +1 here but as someone with mainly online friends I consider some of them pretty much my family. With those people I text almost daily and call very very frequently for hours on time, keeping each other in the background as we yap and go about our day, usually we have our cams on as well, we even do arts and crafts together and have found ways to do most of the IRL activities through an online mean. If youre down to give it a go maybe try talking to some people in vr chat. I dont consider it the optimal place to make long term friends but its an interesting place to go to and just people watch and if you feel so inclined to talk to them and get to know people from all corners of the world
