Because I honestly can't. I can barely talk with the very few people I know. Is just so out of my range. That's why I don't have friends or a partner and I don't see that changing.

EDIT: no, responding comments here or asking this question ISN'T having a conversation for me. So I don't feel this as "progress".

Exclusively in person. For me online chat has very little value and the lack of a face gives you a protection you can't have out there.

100%. Chatting online has nothing to do with talking to people in real life. It's completely different. I have no idea who you are on the other side of this, and I don't even want to know. That's the major difference, this is just wasting time together, not building relationships.

And yet here you are, soliciting this thing that is "pointless" (c.f. above) and of "little value". Odd.

We ask pointless stuff all the time
