Trying to make friends IRL is a nightmare, but online isn’t much better 😭
So I’m a goth girl, and I’ve been trying to make new friends , nothing crazy, just people to vibe with. But whenever I try to approach someone in person (same gender or opposite) to start a normal convo, I can literally see the tension on their faces. Like I’m an alien or something. It’s exhausting.
Online is totally different , people actually relate to me, we have good convos, and for a second I feel like I’m not so weird. But then I mention I’m goth, and suddenly the topic switches to either:
Sexual stuff (“show me your dress and thighs” etc.)
Religious lectures (“you’re not a real Muslim,” “you worship the devil,” “you’re possessed by a jinn”)
Like… I just want friends. Normal, respectful friends. What do I even do at this point? 😭
TL;DR: Goth girl can’t make friends IRL because people act like she’s an alien, and online people either get creepy or preachy when she mentions she’s goth.
