Non-romantic (mostly male) friends with whom I could talk and share my problems and interests. People with whom I could talk on audio in real time.

Even if they live on another continent.

Even if I do not know their name and never see their face.

I know how you feel,I don't have any friends either,I do have my pets and my family though.
 
I fit all these qualifications I'm male I'm probably on a different continent then you are (don't know) just guessing and I'm a great listener if you want to vent or conversate willing to chat just let me do something give me a couple minutes and we can chat I am always looking for friends

I'm sure glad I lost my need for friends to call up and talk with, go out with, and do favors for. I think Covid has kind of normalized me since most people are staying away from each other now.
could you believe that since my teenage years I had a social anxiety issue with interacting with others in a open setting example: going to the supermarket, or being in a party setting, or a concert setting, restaurants etc. it's true and covid though it is a bad thing actually helped me with social distancing and video being more common these days it allowed me to go out into the world in small doses and interact because the areas were not as congested as they were before covid. It helped me overcome my anxiety

I'm so glad to hear this
 
I lost my friends in the early 2000s.
It may be bad advice. But, I turned inward on myself and created my own friends in my mind. It's easier to do it with physical items like stuffed animals, rocks, balls, dolls, etc, etc, etc. But, for me, creating my own friends has satisfied my need for them.

Most children do this. I've also seen it working with the elderly. I gave a purple stuffed bear to my bed ridden grandmother. She truely loved that bear. She would talk to it, eat with it, and she even read to it. It helped to fill her lonelyness. She became happy.

So, I started thinking maybe I should try that too. And, guess what it worked. IMO, do whatever you need to do to fill the void. Keep an open mind.
 
It would be nice to have 2 or 3 very good friends i can trust/vent to. But they are hard to come by and i'm so used to being alone in that aspect it doesn't really bother me. I just want a female in my life and that's it 🤣
