When you were young, It was always mentioned to you that strangers are not good for you. But now that you're an adult, you constantly have to talk with strangers. It can be hard to talk with people offline but it's much easier to talk to a stranger online on the internet. When talking with strangers, it’s important to note that different people have different opinions. Some might think you're weird. Others might be thoughtless, aggressive, or just plain rude.

There's only one way to find out if you can get along with someone: talk with them. And there's only one way to talk with someone effectively: work on your social skills. Some people are naturally good at talking (and listening) to others, and some aren't. Most people have to practice talking to strangers and get better.

Remember that not everyone online is mean, evil, or rude. There are many good people online who want friendship and help, just like you do. In one of the conversations Coach Georgies Nightingale Said:

“People want to get the real you so they can express the real them.”

Also do not forget that the people you talk to online are human beings and deserve the same respect that you show to others. When talking with others, remember to be friendly and nice. Respect their opinions and ideas as much as you expect them to respect yours.

Right Place on the Internet to Talk with Strangers:

Making new friends online leads to making new friends in person as well. Participating in community activities and fostering friendships online can still be helpful. However, you can join some chatrooms and forums and engage yourself with different users to make some new friends.

Forums, chat rooms, and social media platforms are great places to meet people who are strangers. Chat rooms and forums are an amazing way to talk with unknown persons. You can learn a lot from random strangers in chat rooms, but be careful not to troll them.

Here are some of the best chatrooms, social media channels, and forums that you can consider to make new friends:

CMX Chat:

CMX Chat is a free online safe social network (established in 2020) that can be accessed via a web browser on both computers and smartphones. CMX Chat allows chatters to safely chat with different people all over the world and make new friends from all over the world. The ultimate shared goal of CMX is to create an environment in which real communication and socialization can take place, and where chatters can interact with one another emotionally.

The CMX Chat has 12 different dedicated chatroom spaces which are categorized according to different users’ interests. For example, if you’re a writer and you want to make some new writers friends then for that they have a specific chatroom for writers.

And if you’re a Housewife or mother who wants to get some advice from other women then you can join the women's chatroom where you can talk with different women to gain more exposure.

You can explore their different chatrooms by doing the free registration in CMX Chat.

Meetup

The meetup was founded in 2002, It is an online platform that allows users to, create and organize online group meetings, and do virtual activities in fact, they have specific communities for like-minded people where you can make some new friends instantly by joining the communities.

There are Meetups for people of any age, interest, and location. You can join a Meetup to meet new people in a similar field as yours, or join one where you have similar interests as others.

Joining a Meetup based on shared interests is a simple way to connect with like-minded people. You can find male and female programmers, bar hoppers, or even something as random as nature photographers through a Meetup.

Instagram

Instagram is a free, online photo-sharing application and social network platform that was acquired by Facebook in 2012.

It is a place where you can meet and follow different people who are complete strangers to you. Also, It is most popular among young people and it has more than 1 billion users. By interacting with friends and other members on Instagram, you can make new friends online.

Most of your time spent on Instagram would be spent on your feed. It’s a stream where you can follow what your favorite accounts are sharing and watch photos the user has liked, shared, or commented on within their feed. Your feed is filled with posts from the accounts you follow. When a user you follow likes or shares a post, it will show up in your feed.

You can easily make new friends on Instagram by sending them a follow request. Once they accept the following request, then perhaps just go ahead and start the chat with him/her but be mindful to talk respectfully with the other person.

Final Thoughts:

Remember that people online want the same thing as you: friends and help. Be friendly, respectful, and helpful. While talking with strangers, offer help when you can, and if someone offers help to you, don't be afraid to say thanks. Also, do not go on chat rooms to troll people.

“Trolling” means going online and saying mean things just for fun. A lot of people troll chat rooms constantly because they think it’s funny. But it’s not funny: it hurts other people’s feelings and sometimes makes them want to never come back on the internet again.
