How do I make friends online?

Be kind, find shared hobbies, support the person, and be yourself. Don't just chat once, if you see them again, make a point of talking to them and letting them know you remember them. It will make them feel important.

To make friends online you have to be yourself. Reach out and just say hey, be kind, and be your beautiful self.

I know I made a couple friends online because they posted something about feeling bad and asked them if they wanted to talk about it. However I would advise being more cautious than I was because there is always a potential for danger.

I'd say, in real life IS a better choice. Go join clubs, volunteer! There are lots of good people there. However, if you are an introvert (somewhat just like me) little steps at a time. Online friends, if you want to be. Be aware obviously, its not against the law to be friends through internet connection, its ALLL THOSE predators would be removed from this cyber space, this would be also a great place to meet new people and friends. Sadly not the case, keep your wits and rights in mind. What's your limit? Do you think he/she is fishy? Don't give out any information you do not want someone knowing. Decisions are crucial and make wise ones! There always someone nice out there, on internet or in life out there. Just be safe :)

Be a friend for someone and you'll make a friend. Being courteous to everyone can go a long way, and thats a great place to start.

You can have penpals, facebook friends and many more. But be sure to not gossip behind someone's back, that's what a friend doesn't do! Also, make sure your online safety. All the best.

say hello, introduce yourself, find some common interests or things to talk about. i struggle at making friends in general because im shy. but having things in common is a good start.

Most importantly; be yourself. Find communities that share common interests and beliefs. Then will you not only find friends, but amazing friends.

Try following fan accounts that you're interrested in and start talking to them. Sometimes they even have whatsapp groups.

introduce yourself, make sure you know what you re doing, don't walk to someone who you think could be threatning. be safe. Be friendly and conderate.

Going to forums where you have a lot of shared interest and plenty of activities make it easy to interact and meet people.

Find someone with the same interests as you, same favorite TV Shows or books, same taste of music and just try chatting with them. Some of them might be slightly rude but if they are with the same interests as you they probably are nice.

Channel your alter ego. Be confident without revealing too much personal information (of course it is not safe to do so). And who knows being confident on the internet might just help boost your confidence in real life.

Just be yourself and you will find people with the same interests. Make sure you're safe and don't give any personal information to others also.

Talking to people through social media. But, don't share any personal information like your name or address.

I think that the best way is to find things in common with that person and caring about that person...

There isn't one way to make friends online, sometimes it'll happen accidentally, it's like making friends in real life but slightly different and much easier on socially anxious people. If you see someone somewhere who you want to be friends with just say hi, if your looking for people to have possible friendships with, find a website you like, 7 cups is an example but it isn't the only one, there's wattpad, twitter, even youtube; then do things on that site that interest you, at some point you'll see someone who seems to be looking at/watching the same type of things as you, go say hi to them - and good luck!

Search a website where you can talk to people and then when you start talking to someone try to look for interests you have in common with this person.

Just try messaging them! Most people are friendly and nice. Try joining some active Facebook groups. That's some of the reason why I'm still here today. They help so much.

Ice breakers!! Start off with a simple "Hi" or smiley face or emoticon. It doesn't have to be anything complicated.

Making friends online is very easy because there is a wide variety of people online. Though this is true you should still be careful because not everyone is who they say they are and you should never give out your personal information. That doesn't mean you can't have a good time talking about things that interest you.

You make friends online for just being you and be compassionate and respectful even when they aren't and last thing always find someone who is experienced and supportive is the key.

Making friends online is either harder or easier than in real life. Act funny. Even if you don't, pretend you have the same interests. And overall just be nice.

There are many ways to make friends online. Sites such as 7 cups can provide very supportive people to talk to. Besides that, I use different social media sites, and online gaming can be a good way to find people with similar interests.

The first thing to do would be to find someone online whose views/interests seem similar to yours. As someone who is on social media a lot, I can tell you that no one minds strangers messaging them if they're nice; I've made some of my best friends that way. Just contact them and tell them anything - that you like their content, that you think they're nice, that you've had a bad day and you want to talk. Anything, as long as it's honest. From there, you'll find that most people will respond to you kindly. After that, it's just the same as getting to know someone in "real life". Talk to them, get to know them. You may just find a friendship you'll cherish for a lifetime.

Taking time to get to know the person.Being honest(but not giving out your personal info such as full name,phone number,address,etc )Showing care and compassion.Taking time to listen to the person.Keeping in contact with them to develop a friendship.

Today , with huge chat/texting sites on a universal level , it is very easy to create more friends online than in " real " life..Making a friend can be as easy as starting to chat with them , overtime you get to know each other more and find more in common points between you..

Send a friendly message is a good start, and then if that works well you can play 20 questions to help get to know basic information. (:

There are many different ways! It depends on a little bit of luck too, so don't give up if you can't succeed the first times. There are many chat sites out there. You can try out those. You'll find lots of different kinds of people there. Just be cautious and it should be fine. Then there is social media. Tumblr, Instagram for example. As you use such sites you can find interesting people and perhaps contact them. There are also apps such as Vent, where it is really easy to make friends. Think of what you like and maybe even find out about new hobbies. You can meet people while you play games online, at sites where you upload your art, at forums, etc. I know, it sounds easy but making friends isn't actually that easy! Just try to be nice, tolerant and confident. If someone doesn't seem interested or they act cold a few times, don't give up. Maybe they are just having a hard time at that moment. Of course if this person always acts that way you should probably stop, but this doesn't necessarily mean it's your fault. Maybe you two simply don't click, they are rude, or something else. Anyway, good luck :)

Making friends isn't a special art, in which one has to be pretty much adept. There are some simple points to take care of if one wishes to make friends. Being honest towards the others, using a polite tone to converse, respecting the opinions of the others, being understanding and non-judgmental helps others to spot you in this vast crowd of people. Plus, having a non stereo-typed way of conversing with added sense of humor really makes others feel comfortable around you and hence, people look at you as a potential friend.
