If by friends you just mean people on your friends list, then no, I don't think it's particularly hard at all. Just send random friend requests to every person you see on the forums/clubs, and you'll bound to get at least some of them accepted.

If you mean actual friends, then I think it's hard to get those in all walks of life, but of course it depends on your personality, though true friends are hard for just about everyone imo.

Try to talk to some users every once in awhile. Maybe every other day. Just say something in general to start things out.

After you've talked for awhile just send a request, no biggie. Who knows, they might even send you one first.

I don't consider people on websites like mal my friend because we may share one common interest but that's it. We don't know each other, we've never net each other, I could never log onto this site and you would never hear from me again.

real friends... i dont look for real friends on the internet. but MAL friends, sure. easy, just post something random on someones page or send a message. the truth is: everybody likes socializing with others but no one likes to start.

MAL friends or people you actually talk to? Mask friends are easy to get, just be active and 100s of people will send you requests, even more if you are female or are an anime reviewer on YouTube. The latter is about the same as everywhere else.

Just make a cool sig then join a club with lots of active members.
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... and my arm... even my fingers. The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past."

I always accept random requests of people I don't know, and then they always sit there without even trying to communicate.

It's funny.

Is it hard? I suppose not, considering these are not real friends.

I don't watch as much anime as before...

Not at all. All you need is a consistent genuine personality that people will remember and want to get closer to.

So actually, maybe it is pretty hard.

Nope. Just send a comment on their profile and hopefully they'll respond. I don't consider people on my friends list friends until I've actually chatted with them but i will accept any friend request that comes my way :)

Having friends in your prof kinda gives you an ok to talk to them out of the blue without it being akward.

Having enemies is better.. Friends only think about you when it is convenient, but you are always in the back of an enemy's mind. Friends can be replaced and forgotten, but a good enemy stays with you for a lifetime. An enemy will never ask you to help them move, watch their kids/dog, or ask for money. You can not see an enemy for many many years, but as soon as you see them all those feelings come rushing back, and it is like first hate all over again.. The passion.. The Glory.. The violent outbursts.. BEAUTIFUL UNADULTERATED ANIMOSITY!!!

I need more enemies.... Why am I such a lovable fellow?.....

I don't think it's hard at all if you're active on the forums, especially specific subforums

I think you're bound to meet some people that tend to agree with your or also enjoy something.

There is actually a lot of depth to this anyway. Apart from best friends what is friend anyways, someone who lingers around you because they want something


Yes, best friends are the rare exception. I have a few of those I keep around in case I need something. :P

How much people reciprocate your friendship depends on how much you commit to the friendship.

Of course there are exceptions, but blatant random friend requests aren't going to land you on any meaningful conversations, as is the case if you/they respond with one-word/liner replies or can't carry the conversation past the "hi -> hello -> how are you > good -> ok" loop. People can tell if you're friending them for just the sake of having friends or if you're actually looking for someone to talk to.
I personally find shallow conversations to be a waste of time, but I'm sure there are people here who think otherwise.

There are plenty of people around here that I like and respect, and at least a handful that like and respect me too. If you take the time to post on people's walls and find common ground with them and trash talk each other a bit it's not hard to make friends on here.

If you're online, try out different personalities. Make different characters and act them out. Think of it as trialling out different kinds of people to be IRL. That's sort of a 'do as I say and not as I do'.
Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts.

Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that.
