I feel you there. I have had a hard time making friends recently as well. I just made an account here to make some furry friends! I think that social media is a good way to make friends but it can be dangerous. I think it could be safe to make some friends here and give them your social network accounts. You just need to be careful because there are creepers out there. I definitely enjoy making friends on games I play. If I've known the person long enough, I add them on a social network, provided I feel comfortable with that.
