Has anyone considered something like Internet PenPals or the like?
I'm asking this because, considering I struggle to talk to others in real life and also struggle with forming and maintaining friendships, I've recently made accounts on a couple of PenPal sites I've found through Google. However, I'm beginning to wonder: is this a good/effective way to form friendships and meet new people?
I'm mostly directing this question at others here who've tried something like this in the past (or currently are) and about their experiences with it, or suggest it to people here who have social struggles like myself. They say talking to people through the Internet is the easiest form of communication, after all. Or something like that anyway...
Also, I apologize if this is in the wrong category or if the subject was brought up and discussed before. I know this isn't an excuse, but I'm still pretty new here and this is only my second post ever since I signed up on this forum (the first being an introductory post), so please don't hesitate to tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
That is all.
