The impending disappearance of this platform for the community that has formed here has made me acutely aware that I am everyone's weakest possible link. In my adult life, I have *never* had friends I could just call up and get together to do something, or even just talk. Can I call people here friends (in a true sense), or am I just some random guy who pops up on your screen every once in a great while, who you hope you rarely need to engage in any form of interaction?

I know that losing a place does not mean instantly losing connections. However, from experience, I know that I am barely memorable (due to sticking out so much that I am invisible, if not forgettable) and far less preferred to know when better, closer options are available.

If I didn't want to engage, I wouldn't. That's the beauty of the internet, for me at least, I get to pick and choose my interactions. I might not interact all that much, but when I do, I do it on purpose.

The link above was courtesy of a search for "friendless loser" on Google. Without this place, I might not even be at that high of a level today.

I have friends but I'm still a loser with no life.

Not true, Mandy. Take it back.

How many people have friends that, well, aren't?

You realize that you linked to socialanxietysupport.com? Not everyonereallytrulythinksIamalosersupport.com :) Social anxiety is not generally a reflection of reality, it's due to a cognitive distortion.

If the definition of friends is someone you could/would just call up and get together, etc., then I was friendless as an adult, at least until I got married (age 32). And yes, at times I felt like a loser with no life. You're not. A good support group might help. What Meg sez.
