Does anyone else struggle with long distance friendships?
Does anyone else feel like it's hard to get a real feel on a person through the app or text? I mean I can text but after 2 weeks to a month or so I'm like ehhh, no match. Not because of the individual but because I can't connect or open up just via phone/ text/ message. The wierd thing is that I'm super introverted and socially anxious. Like I literally hate any group events or outings. I'll still do them depending but my anxiety will be on HIGH.
For me I feel more open to connect in person where I can see a person, their inflection, and if there is chemistry and understanding. Sometimes I feel like online and through text people can curate how they come across easier and I don't get a real read on if we are simpáticos. Anyone else like this?
I've managed to meet AWESOME people on here IRL but I've also spoken to folks for awhile and as much as I like them the convo just ran out, or we stopped chatting. Especially if they're too far to meet. Is anyone else like this? Why are we like this😭

i feel you, i struggle big time with long distance friendships, a bit because i tend to forget whomever and whatever is not in front of my eyes (it has a name this thing but i can't remember) plus i agree with what you say, you can't never go much deeper that much on a text
it's an issue with objet permanence
it's one of the traits of neurodivergents
