I didn't think I was acting condescending to anyone. Maybe that's my problem.

But my friends were being shitty, even if I was too.

NAYRT - I mean, maybe you could've worded it a bit differently, since it did sound a bit like you were implying something was wrong with online friendships. But it was clear to me you were upset and no one words things to perfection when they're upset, and it took me a fraction of a second to figure out what you meant.

Your actual quote: "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."

I've underlined the parts that were sneery and/or condescending. In order, they were:

1) the implication that because you had bad luck in online friends, there is no such thing as online friends
2) everyone who's had success at making friends online must have no friends in real life, unlike you

If you're truly that unaware of how you sound, then I think this might be a clue as to why your friendships are flagging, both on and offline.
