I'm through with making friends online. The last generation was right, online friends aren't real friends. Every "friend" I've made online has turned on me and left me for no good reason. But luckily, unlike most people to espouse the wonders of online friendship, I have plenty of real life friends.

My online friends are great, and I've met a lot of them in real life. I'm sorry you're having difficulties, but I think it's more about the people involved and not the medium.

Same here.

I mean... I have made a lot of online friends who ended up being pretty bad friends, in retrospect. But you know, that's true of real life people. I had a classmate who wasn't a friend per se, but I thought we were friendly. She graduated a year ahead of me, and one time came to visit the campus. She was talking to a bunch of people and when I went up to say hi to her, said, "did you want something?" Like I was a complete stranger.

People suck no matter where you meet them.

but I think it's more about the people involved and not the medium.

This.

If all your online friends turn on you, then it's a flaw in their character and your judgement in choosing them. Maybe you're a better judge of character in person, which is not unusual. It's easier to fool people online than it is face to face. But whoa, no need to get better and snarky toward people who are good at judging character and choosing online friends.

Or OP is an asshole online. They are the common denominator.

Or it's a flaw in ayrt's character that's driving their friends away. "All my friends are flighty and turn on me for no good reason" is often code for "I am a raging cockbag and don't even realize it", and online friendships have a lot less social inertia making people feel like they have to stick around and put up with other people's shitty behavior than offline friendships do.

They keep irl friends just fine, so I wouldn't be so quick to assume that.

It's easier to break with assholes online than offline.

A lot of people act differently online than they do in real life.

A lot of people are bigger jerks online than they are offline, though.

We-ell if *every* friend has keft maybe they had a good reason and the problem lies with you in the first place.

nice victim blaming brah

People not liking you doesn't make you a victim.

+1, ffs

nayrt, but if literally ALL of your friends ditch you, then you should look at your own behavior to see if you can figure out what's going on. Like someone else mentioned, common denominator. You don't have to, of course. You can just keep on the way you are, complaining about how everyone is mean to you and why does this always happen to meeee?!, but never actually take any steps to understand why or fix it.

Do you know OP personally? Do you have a reason to believe that's the case?

-unlike most people to espouse the wonders of online friendship, I have plenty of real life friends-
hmm...
Also what last generation?
