I used to hang out and stream video games with my friends three nights a week. Now they don't even talk to me. They bought into the propaganda. There is only so much reaching out I can do. They don't respond to my texts, respond to any of my social media posts, or even tune in when I stream alone.

Tough they've never said it, is obvious they were using the lockdowns as an excuse to avoid me. Even when my father died a few months ago, they barely reached out. I'll never be silent or censor myself for fear of how others will react... But still, it does hurt. Literally having no IRL friends is lonely.

The only remaining friends I have are rare acquaintances and people online I've never even met before. The ones with whom we share memes, and the one or two dedicated stream fans, who still ask me where the rest of my crew are.

They never were your friends if they couldn't be bothered to reach out to you after your father passed away.

You should actually thank them for removing themselves from your life and saving you from wasting time on them.

I have no friends only my family.

They are the best friends I could ever ask for.

What the living fuck is an IRL friend? Do people not live in the real world with actual breathing human beings??? HOLY SHIT this is nuts!!!

lol srsly.

Why would I want faggots on a social media network to know whats going on in my life anyways? If I wanna tell someone I'll give them a call or something.

And I get down votes like mad by pointing out that innerweb friends are not friends or real life in any way. It's hilarious in my opinion...if someone got their little precious innerweb feelings hurt by a dose of truth then so be it, just lets me know that it was a job well done. Let their families be going hungry or something as simple as a flat on the side of the road..see how many of those digital friends show up to be an actual friend. Morons.
