    Are you better at making friends in real life or online? What do you think contributes to this?
     
    online

    aspergers is a bitch
     
    Online. I am very quiet in real life unless there's an event going on.
     
    I don't really have friends either "irl" or online, but I find it easier to talk to people online. It's a little difficult to hide my problems for protracted periods in person, so I suppose that's why.
     
    honestly i make them the same way in both scenarios (mainly mutual friends) so it's hard to say, but i guess the internet is easier by nature
     
    probably online, because i feel my body language is a bit off-putting when im meeting new people, and i probably dont seem very warm or inviting. but with time i get more comfortable. i am fully aware of this aspect of myself and its entirely up to me to change it, i cant expect anyone to find it endearing (its not). if i want to make meeting new people in life easier, which i do, it's all up to me to make that happen
     
    Online as certain interests and hobbies I find it easier and comfortable to share with my online friends than my irl ones.

    Yeah this.
    I like stuff that is not popular at all here, so online is better when I want to "meet" someone who has the same interest as me.
     
    Online is easier to find people with the same hobbies and interests. I find that it is easier to talk about anime online as there aren't many cultural barriers.

    appearance doesn't even matter online when you can hide behind a cute weeb avatar
     
    I have friends in real life too, but I find a lot easier to talk to people online rather than in real life because I'm a very shy person.

    Also, online it's easier to find people who share the same interests as you.
     
    I think I'm better at communicating offline, but I make more friends online.
     
    Kinda the unpopular opinion here but I think talking to people/making friends irl is easier than talking to people/making friends online. I usually suck at replying + expressing emotion is harder which is not fun. + carrying on conversation online is a bit harder than irl (at least for me).

    someone teach me how to internet thnks xoxo
     
    I think I'm very friendly and I get along with people but I do not have many close friends. Probably I just don't let people get close enough to me. But then I don't make friends online either.
     
    i'd say online i can talk better but real life i have way more friends
