A lot of people in my town are like that. It's why I want to move out of my town, and why I've been trying to find friends online, instead of looking for local friends.
One thing I'll tell you, is I don't know where you are, but in my town, and a few people I've met, there's been kindof a stigma about how "online friends aren't real friends" and I want you to know that's not true. I've known people, in person, who were friends with each other for years, and then after I don't even know how long, five years at least, one of them broke into the others house and stole about a thousand dollars worth of stuff. They're still not friends today. So basically, my point of view is, friends are friends, whether they're online or not. I guess my point is, don't think one way of finding friends is better than another. I'm not the only one who has had this experience in my town, and I know I'd feel a lot worse if I didn't believe going online was a legitimate way of making friends. I've even met online friends in person, and have a couple online friends that seemed to be really enthusiastic (almost begging or something) for me to come out and visit them, so I fully believe online friendships can be real friendships, and develop into in-person friendships.
