    How to make friends

    Hi everyone

    Appreciate that this must sound super sad and desperate, but I'd really like to make some friends on here. I constantly lurk the boards but too nervous to post most of the time. Lots of you have been super lovely when I have posted. I'd just really like some friends that I can talk neo/life with.

    Apologies if this is wrong platform/board. Just wanting to feel less lonely haha

    Thanks for reading

    EDIT:

    So sorry that this comes across as super sad. I've just read through a lot of threads here and think you're all super lovely and would love to make friends with some people

    I also don't know how to make friends and have just kind of lucked into the ones I have. I'm also really bad at communication sometimes. That being said, if you don't mind someone who sometimes ghosts for a period of time (its a me thing, not a you thing) I'd love to be friends!

    I love your username and picture, btw!

    EDIT: ah thank you for the lovely complement! my username is from my love of the stars and moon. i have them tattooed on me i love them so much. the amazing lyrichord made my userbar, whenever I look at it i am in love! It's so beautiful

    I'm just bad at it all lol Basically if you don't live with me and you aren't my IRL best friend, it's a toss-up on if i answer calls/texts/fb messages. I'm trying to get better about it though.

    And no worries! I know that it can be hard joining a new forum with no friends and it's not like this is a forum you can really direct other friends to, unless you know 100% that they're safe.

    Hahah I'm the exact same. My cousin rang me yesterday and I was like "Yeah don't want to speak right now but I'll ring you tomorrow". I'm trying to get better also

    It's definitely hard, but I do really love this forum. It's so silly, but I've found myself going back to super old posts on the "
    Who or what about Neopets gets under your skin?" and just reading through all the comments out of pure interest (for example, I can't remember her name now but the person who always has UC pets and gets away with it from Tony P lmao - from Canada) !


    I just love how lovely this whole community is! Everyone is so welcoming, thank you for the friend request!!!!!!!!

    Hi there @(you need an account to see links)
    I also feel like im not overly great at making friends online, it takes me a while for me to come out my shell but everyone on here is so nice and welcoming i feel like ive known people all my life, everyone is so easy to talk to.

    I would be more than happy to become friends no one i know in RL goes on neopets anymore they all grew out of it but ill still be logging on when im 100 and bedridden!
    And i agree with goddamnit your avatar is beautiful ♥ and dont ever think its sad/desperate it certainly isn't! #sendingvirtualhugs

    But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart
    I will always be with you

    Hiya!

    I want to be friends too ;^;
    Just someone to talk to about Neopets (or life) would honestly be great. I don’t really know how to express myself online so it’s hard to make friends.

    What do you enjoy about Neopets? I personally am obsessed with customization and collecting

    Thank you so much for the message Bea! You have such a kind heart and soul and I'd love to be your friend

    Thank you for reassuring me that this isn't sad haha. Took a lot of dutch courage to post this, I've been online every day for over a month now just lurking. And I think every single one of you is super lovely!

    Hello lovely! First of all. I love your userbar and signature! It's a such lovely colouring and theme.

    When it comes to Neopets, it's such a nostalgia feeling for me. I always loved collecting Avatars. I have a gallery now called "home", which I have all of the items that look sad or grey or dismantled etc, and I've put them in a gallery so they feel loved and at home haha.

    I've started to love customization, but I don't know where to start really! I have loads of stuff in my closet from my 12 year old account, but I feel like everything looks stupid hahah. I'd love to see some of your customs to get some tips!
