The key to making friends online is to talk to people. Talk to people a lot. A lot of people. (And don't be an asshole when you do it. It doesn't matter if you're clever or interesting, as long as you're not an asshole.)

Really. That's all there is to it. It took me about five years to figure it out, though. :/

Everybody else is as hesitant to reach out to a stranger as you are, and as long as you lurk, you will stay a stranger. But the more you reach out, the more comfortable people will get with you, until you end up being friendly with them just 'cause you're used to each other!

Always follow people you find interesting, too. Nobody gets upset at being followed (they might get upset if you expect something in return, so don't - following is its own reward) but seeing you on their followers list makes your name sound more familiar, and gives it more context when you do comment.

If you're still afraid of annoying people or making them angry - and I understand, I do - make it a goal to *always* reply when people you follow *ask* for comments or feedback or answers. When those posts go around saying "talk to me", or someone asks a specific question, or "reblog this if", or "I want to start a discussion on" - force yourself to *always* answer or reblog with a comment, even if all you have to say is "me too!" or "I don't know either, but the question is interesting!". People specifically asking for replies are a lot less likely to react oddly if they get them, and it'll get you more comfortable with speaking up in general.

(And the goal here is *not* "I hope they reply to me I hope they reply to me" it's "oh hey, I made myself comment! Go me!" The friendliness will come over time, not as a result of one really spectacular reblog comment.)

This is a lot of really good advice.

bullshit advice, doesn't work

Well, if it didn't work for a ray of sunshine like you, there is clearly no hope here.
