FiM finale. Forever alone?

[ManaMinori 4,149]

FiM has been given 9 years to run its course. This is An extraordinary time for a cartoon meant to sell toys (and spread its friendship morals), no doubt. But are you one of / or know someone in this fandom who still lack friends irl, after all the course of the series? If so, then why? It it by choice or inability to foster lasting friendships, even after all the friendship feels from the show that has drawn out others? 

Personally, as an introvert, I much prefer my own company and prefer to keep others at arms length. Getting to know people irl is tiring, since you always need to walk a tightrope to prevent hurt feels or fake niceties when you’re just not in the mood to socialize.

Many internet bronies friends have come but they have also all gone. Things change in peoples lives, we dont make an effort to keep in touch. I have a friend I even went to Bronycon with from a different state, and we dont even talk every now and then anymore, didnt keep each others phone numbers, long off social media. The best I can do, Is extend an arm to some of the people whose names I remember in the future, but some have already declined friend requests, deleted accounts, removed skype accounts... When I first joined the fandom it was popping off in 2013, people were eager to get in large skype groups just to make predictions and have general discussions... over time I met people from places as bad as BPU, to places like Friendship is Fanbase... this is my second forum account, i myself have started over, taken fandom leaves, its just something that comes with being an MLP fan. I think its a well commercialized idea, but in reality, there is nothing special about MLP friendships like some bronies naively believe, that takes two people that commit to a friendship, and from what I have seen liking MLP FIM doesnt make you more qualified for friendship lol

I'll simply let the pieces fall where they may and go at it from there. It might not be the most ideal solution but for someone who prefers to take a neutral stance on most things--as far as people are concerned--this suits me well.

I don't know about you, but my "social" life haven't change a bit even after knowing about MLP FiM and it will remind the same when it ends.

Haven’t made friends due to ponies at all. It’s ok, because FIM is also for self growth, and got plenty of that thanks to it

I actually don't currently have a social life. It's been this way for years, except for the second semester of college.
