background: I dont have any social friends locally. I moved here 12 years ago or something like that. I have work friends who i do not ever communicate with outside of work and internet friends whom I do not ever communicate with off the net.
SO anyway today I'm working in a new factory and I see this guy walking down an aisle. So I wonder, as I sometimes do, if its maybe someone I know from the net. I think Maybe its OBakasan, the guy who was upset he hadn't made any friends in 3 years. Or maybe its one of the other people who mentioned being in similar situations.. So Im thinking maybe this guy would like to be on friendly terms. And then it hit me...
anyone you dont know might be friendless and appreciate a new friendship. I know its pretty obvious on the surface but the deep realization of this was another step I needed to get over my shyness. I thought maybe it might help someone else. I also wanted to thank you all for posting about your situations here because it ended up helping me, who until now was just lurking in this thread. So thanks.
