      You got this champ, here’s some tips:

      Step 1: Be nice to those you play games with or chat to in a discord server

      Step 2: Ask if they’d like to play together or add you as friend to hang out in the future

      Step 3: Hang out with new friends and enjoy having company while you’re online

      You can do it!

        Thanks for thinking so highly of me, but I never chat on discord (except for rare occasion) and it’s the same with the few mp games I play. I have pm about 3 people and it has always led to me blocking them because I got scared, even when I genuinely adored that other person.

          You have a special interest in something that you can’t help being interested in. Find a server about that topic and hang out watching the conversation until you feel comfortable interjecting. Can chill in there for weeks just lurking, remember that the stakes are incredibly low in online spaces.

        Alternative step 1 that somehow works: always say the most personally cruel things you can think of without being a bigot to everybody at all times.
