Ways To Make More Friends Online

If you are in the market for new friends, you’re not alone. One of the easiest ways to make friends now is online.

Many people have found that they can make friends by playing their favorite online games, so long as there is a chat option, and even from social media.

Of course, if you’re looking for something more than friends, you might be looking at something more like a dating app or chat line dating.

The internet has changed how we make friends, and how we communicate. It’s never been easier than now to make friends and connections. Chat boards on Reddit, in-game chat options on your favorite MMORPG, Facebook groups, and even Twitter.

Purely trying to make friends online, then here are some simple tips for you.

Platform-specific

Instead of trying to be on every platform and reply to everybody, pick a few online platforms that you like to use the most. For example, if you really enjoy art and creation, you might find deviantART one of the nicest places to be. If, on the other hand, if you want to join a group, and perhaps a closed group, then Facebook has a plethora of Interest groups.

Don’t feel like you need to be on social media platforms that you don’t enjoy. Most likely, the people that you will get on the most with we’ll meet you where you are.

Intentional

Don’t worry about responding to everybody; instead of taking a measured approach to your responses. Be intentional about who you follow and who you engage with. In the early days of social media, many people acted like Pokémon. They tried to collect as many followers and likes as possible. Only to realize at a later date that all of those people were too hard to keep track of copper, most of whom they have nothing in common with.

Try to create lists on your social media to always see the tweet from the people you want to read from.

Honesty

The internet is excellent for many good things; however, it will not be long before you are found out if you are lying. Most of us add lots of stuff to our social media and have personal blogs. It’s not very difficult to find out where somebody works and if they’re saying is true. There has been coverage about social media influences and others that were found to be lying about the situation. 

There is a fine line to tread when you are being honest. A few times, it has been in the news that prominent influences or people of note have posted as they are on holiday and have had to go through traumatic break-ins. When it comes to your online interactions, try always to keep them as kind as possible. Social media and other online communication platforms can lift people up, and make them feel good about themselves.

In a world where you can be anything, as the saying goes, be kind.
