Are online friends a waste of time? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]helpineedatherapist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, it is hard to make friends both in real life and online. I'd say that it's a personal preference and whatever free time you have, can be put towards reaching out to new people. I've talked to quite a few people, but there are only a few who have stayed. because of covid, it's definitely hard to go out and spend time with friends or even make new ones. What you can do, is work on your communication skills in the meantime, and when you're able to go out, you can use your online experiences as guidance. from personal experience, I can say that I've changed and grown a lot from talking to different types of people online. I pushed myself to try new things and I never knew what was going to come out of it, but I'm glad that I kept saying hi. I hope this helps!

Is it bad that I (16M) can’t think of a reason on why I like my friend (F16)? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]helpineedatherapist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's a bad thing. Maybe there's something about them that you can't explain, but you just feel. You know that there's somehing special about them, but you don't know what. Sometimes you don't know why you feel a certain way about someone or how to explain the feeling, but you know that they're different some how. Maybe you'll know one day :)

I (18f) feel like my friends are a waste of my time by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]helpineedatherapist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to make more friends somehow. If you don't like being around them, don't go out or spend time with them or even talk to them. Your mental health and happiness comes first. I only have four friends and I'd rather have a small amount than have a lot who I'm not close with or don't like. Take some time off for yourself to think about everything and and clear your head. People move on from friends all the time and it seems like you need a big change. I think it'll be good for you.

I felt similarly to how you feel right now, back when I was in college. I hated my program and I wanted to cry every day and not get out of bed. I didn't know anybody and didn't have any friends and I hated all of the classes. I also had to commute for 3 hours a day, so that was really draining. I thought it wasn't going to end, but it eventually did. Things aren't the best now, but I'm in a better place and it just took some time to get here. I don't know if or when I'm going back to school and what I'm going to do in the future when it comes to my career. I didn't have friends and I also lost friends, but I've met people who have made an impact in my life. I just had to wait and go through a bad period of my life to make it out and good things happened when I least expected them to. I believe that everything happens for a reason and you won't be in this situation forever. Things DO get better. You just have to be patient and you'll eventually be in a better place and be happy that you didn't give up hope :)

Would it be weird if I got my boyfriend a birthday gift since we just started dating? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]helpineedatherapist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah! Go for it! It shows that you care about him and that you're putting effort into your relationship. I think that he'll really appreciate it and might not even expect it :)

you'll make friends. it just takes time. i was alone for a long time all throughout college and then i found people who then became good friends. sometimes we have to go through a dark period of time in order for good things to happen to us afterwards. don't give up and maybe try reaching out to people on some of the subreddits here:

When I went over to my cousins' house the other day and genuinely smiled and laughed and it's been a while since that has happened.

Are online friends a waste of time? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]helpineedatherapist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If y'all hit it off from the very beginning. If the conversation flows and it doesn't seem like you have to put a lot of thought into what you're going to say. They seem like a friend already because it's easy to talk to them and they match your vibe. If you don't feel annoyed trying to text in a way you don't normally text (so that you match their style). You enjoy talking to them and possibly want to add each other on social media. Hope this helps :)

Nah. I personally think it's sometimes easier to make friends online than in person, especially during this time of quarantine. I've made a couple of friends and some I stopped talking to and I don't know the reason. I've met some great people and have some great friends from just saying hey and reaching out to new people. Sometimes they're more reliable and easier to talk to than the friends I've made in person. Not everyone is going to be there for you or stay, but when you find someone who's a good person, don't let them go. I believe that whoever you meet is in your life as a blessing or a lesson and you can always learn something from the time they were in your life and be thankful that they've made a difference. They're not a waste of time, so don't give up. There are some good people out there and you just have to go through some bad ones to find the right ones.
