I have formed true friendships here on Hive. I am lucky enough to have met some of those people in person. Invited some to my home and met others on Hive meetups in other states. The great thing when meeting those people in person was how there was no weird first meeting awkwardness. We just met and hugged and never stopped talking and laughing.

How I was lucky enough to get to the point where I was friends with people I have only known through posts and comments was to follow my gut feelings when encountering new people here. Some of those friendships were short-lived, as they would have been in the real world, while others just naturally became deeper over time, as in the comments and on Discord, conversations were had and carried on.

I am just me always. On and Off the chain. I am a pretty good judge of character, so I know most times when someone just wants something from me. That doesn't bother me much as long as they are honest. I am willing to help anyone learn about my favorite place to be.

But, like when I saw your post.....whenever that was.....I felt a connection to the person that wrote the post. I wanted to get to know that person better, so I reached out and was happy with what I found. :D

If I knew you would be close to where I live, I would try to see you. I do not say that about everyone I meet on Hive. So, it's really about following my gut and being myself.

If someone doesn't like me, it's okay. I am not everyone's cup of tea.

Great post and thoughts!!

Happy Weekend to you!!

@Dreemsteem and I :D
