Tips for making friends if you're a furry/nerdy type of person?

I'm starting to kind of wonder if I have developed social anxiety or something simular. v_v I really don't have anyone to hang out with in person often ( Read more... )

feelings, friends, life

Wish I could offer some advice, but I have the same difficulties you do, only I have the additional handicap of being old. When I was younger, I thought I'd outgrow my social anxieties eventually, but I didn't.

When I was a very young kid I made friends much more easily,then my dad died and I moved (in 2004). Here in VA I made friends off and on but by senior year in high school I really only had a few that I only talked to at school.

Now I just have no local people except for the one mentioned. I don't mind talking to online people mostly but I haven't been getting to talk to as many people that way as I used to. :c

Thanks for commenting anyway.

Sadly, I have no advice. I too have a hard time making friends for there seem to be no 34 year old people who like Pokemon and fantasy the way I do. I am seen as "weird" or "odd" by most. That is why I turned to the net to make friends. Unfortunately, distance is a big factor. I don't mention it often, but I feel very lonely.

I'd hang out with you if I lived closer. ;_; I have been to Williamsburg/Newport News a few times but its a little over two hours away from here alas.

I'm sorry you feel lonely too.

Like I said, distance is a big factor for me. That and the fact I can't drive. Even if I could drive, I couldn't afford a car. No matter what, it is a double edged sword in the end.

At least we do have the internet, where we can meet like minded people. I'd feel even lonelier without it.

I wish we lived closer, we'd happily hang out with you! There's nothing wrong with you at all. I'm terribly nervous a lot of the time, but I just force myself to deal with social stuff. Furry gatherings are easier for me because I'm awkward but then most of the people there are in a way too so everythings fine XD
