does anyone here have positive stories on how they made friends on this forum?

[London2005]

I have read some rough stories about people trying to make friends here and it going sideways, so I'm kinda cautious but I am also curious on wholesome interactions people have had here as I have come here primarily for a community and I am looking for hope that not everything ends in disappointment

I've had multiple conversations with other members here. Some were just venting and discussing what's bothering us. But for some of them, we spoke openly and shared some personal stuff about ourselves.

The hardest part about getting to know someone here is when they are successful with their suicide. To be clean, I'm not naive. I know what this forum is about, but it doesn't make it any easier when I've taken the time to get to know someone and they end their life.

Part of me wants to wish them a peaceful journey and another part is sad, and maybe a little angry that I couldn't do anything to help them.

I've had multiple PM's with members. Some were a brief flurry of conversations. Some we look in on one another now and again. Some, we check in most days. There's also the sadder side to it where a member did CTB a few years back. I still think about them. It's sad but then, it goes with the territory. I've also known a couple of members just disappear from the forum. That was worse in a way- not knowing their fate.

I've even heard of members meeting up in the real world although- that obviously carries with it far more risk. That has indeed ended badly for some.

2 of my best friends are people i met off this site, been friends for almost 8 months now. They've been nice to me unlike anyone else i've met so far, and they've helped me a lot in general. if you guys are reading this hello!

I made a really good friend here, then he left this forum and requested his account to be banned, so we continued chatting on discord. Well, back then you could use an email trick so that you could use the same email for two different accounts, but then discord apparently changed it. So that when I tried to use the account, it instead automatically switched me to my other account. The accounts had different usernames of course, but even that didn't help. Discord just completely prevented me from signing in to my account.

So, I lost access to that good friend. And I don't remember his discord name or his name on this forum. I remember he liked foxes, and there's one user who has a fox avatar here, but is a girl. My friend was a boy.

Oh well. People come, people go. I got used to it after maturing. I remember we had a fight and it was hilarious how he was completely calm after a minute. Like, the people in my family get really mad really easily and for a really long time, so it was adorable and great how he was only a tiny bit angry and even then only for like 10 seconds. I wish all people were like that. The world would be a much better place.

I remember I was sick, and he told me his mother taught him to eat carrot soap when sick, so I ate carrots and it helped.

Oh, and one time I revealed to him a secret, and I said "I was an idiot for believing that XD" and he agreed. It felt really good when he agreed. He had the ability to agree in a nonbad way, in a brotherly or fatherly way. Anyone else and I'd be screaming "Did you just call me stupid you bastard?" but even though we never met face to face, it felt like a pat on shoulder. XD

Really good guy. I hope he's well.

I never had the intention of making friends here, fewer ties and taking no chances with outing myself I guess. I think the way I write is usually pretty matter-of-fact as well which might dissuade people from trying to be my friend lol.

Funnily enough, I did reach out to someone with a fox avatar too. It was because it reminded me of a guy's from another forum circa 10 years ago now about pretty much the same topic, wasn't particularly close to him or anything but the forum was relatively small and it would've been funny. Well he wasn't my guy and I don't think he was your guy because I just checked and his account doesn't seem banned (but is inactive).

That's sad, I'm sorry you lost contact with good friend.

I have had new friends here. I don't talk to them very frequently, but I know they're here for me. I think SaSu has been a positive place for me overall. Also, they let me be mama bear which is nice.
