Friendship

I,ve beencoming to Christian Chat for almost four years now. And some people greet meand say a few things,but,mostly I can,t make chat roo friends and after at least half an hour of chatting and responding and telling jokes,I log out because no one talks to me. I once went to a church for 2 months and got ignored so we stopped going. I feel uncomfortable to talk after several minutes so I say nothing but hope to be befriended. So I guess I,ll try other christian chats. Again!

You are 67 years old and stay worried over someone not befriending you? How long has this dark cloud been hovering over you? Without the internet as your source of 'friendship" meetings, how do you handle human contact in your daily living? I would be very curious to hear these answers. It would explain how a person can become too dependent on cyber space to produce instant likable friends who really aren't your friends that can be there for you should you need a hug or shoulder to cry upon. Too many people are just bored and turn to the modern technology of a chatroom and think that this is the greatest substitute for meeting people. Whatever happened to walks in the park, waving and saying hello to strangers, and associating with others in person? How can you help someone if you sit within your four walls and communicate via internet only?
