I do know these people in real life. In fact, I've known them 6 - 7 years now. I absolutely adore them to pieces. They're the people that I cannot seem to go without talking with them for no more than a week. They're the people who sent me gifts and letters when I lived across the country. They're the people who drive all the way to Pinole when I'm upset or just to hang out. Unfortunately, due to my current location and lack of transportation, my main communication is chatting.
I live at a bottom of a hill. I walk around my room to get at least two bars to successfully send a text message. I frequently get disconnected from phone calls because I lose signal when I shift my position.
When people ask what my hobbies are, one of my main responses is "going on my laptop." Does that convey that I'm antisocial? A person who doesn't have anything better to do with her time than go online?
With the same friend, he asked why I don't put myself out more when I'm in school. I can if I wanted to, but I'm going to be leaving for college soon and I probably won't speak to these people ever again if I decided to put myself out there. I don't want to seemingly grow close to someone within a year then make false promises of "hanging out with each other everyday" or "live together in college." No, sorry, I already have friends that I've known for almost a decade to do those type of things. I'd rather stay home and chat with friends who know me as the bubbly, perverted type instead of the innocent, quiet facade that people see me with during school.
I do like meeting new people, but I won't put much effort into creating a friendship unless they actually truly interest me and if they're willing to put the effort in too. But all-in-all, my best/good friends are all I've ever wanted. I'd chat with them any day than go out with a bunch of unfamiliar people.
