Just on SpaceHey in general amongst users, I'm really shy *especially* online for some reason and being on this new platform without being like recommended from a friend is scary, so does anyone have any tips on making friends and overall just communicating towards others on here?

in my experience, just reach out to anyone who you think is interesting! if i see someone that has similar interests to me, i like to add them and let them know :) maybe even ask them to chat too. honestly i think ppl just like talking, so be brave and take the first step!
and also be confident. you absolutely need to at least fake it.

Take a look around some of the online users and send friend requests to users you think are nice.
From there, comment something on their profile. Say thanks for adding you and ask them what their up to.
The hard part is finding something to say on user's blogs/bulletins/pages/etc.. to start a conversation. Asking questions seems to work well.

Well if you're talking online, there are many sources for meeting new people and making friends. Social media is a great outlet for endless individuals to talk to.
If you're talking in person, maybe join teams or clubs at schools. Try talking to people in your classes or workplace, even maybe lessons. There are many outlets for socializing and making friends. Like going to shows, museums, parks, stores etc. Just be open, try to start a conversation, or even get to know people. I know it can feel hard, especially in this current time, but keep trying.

I find my conversations used to go
"hi"
"hi!!!"
and then they stop there, but I found a way to prevent that! When someone reaches out and sends me an IM, I go to their profile and find a common interest! Like, for example,
"hi"
"hi!!! I saw you like ddlc! That's my favorite game- who's your favorite character?"
this helps the conversation easily move along.

Whenever youre talking to someone, when you're done talking, always try and end your talk with a question for the other person xp

Send friend requests to anyone who looks interesting. That's it. You don't even need to talk to them, and you can be entirely anonymous here.

My town is incredibly small and rural. I just look at a magazine for local clubs I am interested in. The rest is history. I meet 99,99% of all of my close friends through a Chess club. I just played with people a lot, until they say 'Would you like to come over / Could I come over to your place?' and again, rest is history. It goes from home, to then shopping, and maybe finding out if we attend same school.
Many people might have clubs, but have never thought to check to see if there are local ones near them. I hope this wisdom helps.
