anyone here find it hard to make friends online?

I do , I just made one friend over my space, and I tried so hard. Even in the my space SAD group I find it hard to make friends.

I have found online friends a lot easier than real ones. Since joining this forum I have made 2 very close friends in particular. Planning on meeting up soon too. Find it easier with people who understand my problems. There's not so much pressure...if I go red, stutter or have silence patches they will understand why with no explaining or awkwardness...well I hope!

Indeed!
Less pressure means less SA symptoms for me
I tell most people I get involved with these days that I have SA beforehand. It's just a lot easier for me that way.

Me too. I kind of feel like I need to tell them, so they aren't like.. "what is up with her?!?!!!" when I don't call them for days/weeks. Say no every time they ask to hang out. Or don't have anything to say. heh heh.

How do you tell people? I'm far too scared to bring it up

Making friends online is many times easier than a face to face. The internet is like a veil which partially hides (contextually) inferior aspects of your personality, making it easier to socialise. At least for me anyway.
