I have a Facebook and Twitter.
I went from 110 to 35 friends on Facebook because of politics within the last few months.
I have 7,000+ followers on Twitter, and none of them talk to me regularly.
So is it crucial to friendships? I don't think so.
Pretty much what it says. I've made countless efforts over the last 2 years to better myself as a person socially and meet people. I pursued my dream (did Youtubing/streaming for a while) in order to do that and not only have I failed in that dream, but it's left me even more alone than ever...
