I mean I go through the same thing bruh.. but try to make sure they are real firs.. cuz a lott of creeps and weirdos are online, UK the same guys commenting DM me assuming you are a girl🤦🏾‍♂😂 you can do that by having phonecalls then move on to video calls ... After a while try meeting up..have coffee ... Maybe lunch...catch a new movie with your online friend.... I'm not sure if you're a guy or a girl but either way don't be too trusting cuz the internet is full of people willing to go very far to take advantage of you so be very careful specially when meeting these people ... But otherwise try not to lie over the internet and be yourself and don't tell people you're lonely or desperate over the internet because they will try to take advantage of that and also if you are looking to make friends try going to rotaract club meetings and coffee times you will find interesting people there , best of luck 😉
