I can't really relate to this, as I'm actually worse off on the internet than I am in real life. Off line I have a few casual acquaintances from school and can socialize casually. I even have one friend, although they live in a different city so I only see them about every 6 months. Online, however, I haven't made a single friend in more than 10 years. The only social interaction I get is from posting on places like here and 4chan, and often my posts are ignored. I've tried to make online friends, but it's like people's apathy towards me irl is magnified X100 on the internet.
