Punctuation is an essential skill.
It helps other people comprehend what we are trying to say.
Of course punctuation is only the
start. You also have to be trying to
say something meaningful, but
start with the dots and dashes,
and hopefully the rest will follow.
It does sound like you may not
be looking in the right places for
someone to become a friend. It’s
not clear from what you say, just
where you are hanging around,
but there are lots of places in SL
that both males and females go
easily and interact. Try a few hunts
for example. It’s easy to strike up a
conversation about the next clue.
Mind you, you might be the one
having to provide clues to your
meaning if you don’t learn to
punctuate.

EenyMeeny wonders
about whether all the nice
people have left SL.
“I have been in SL for four years
now and I used to have lots of
friends who were really nice, but
they have all drifted away. When
I get around SL I find almost no
one to talk to and people I try to
get friendly with seem so full of
drama and only pretend to be
besties before never getting in
touch again. Where have all the
nice genuine people gone?”
Well, EenyMeeny, your problem
is a common one. It seems that
it is inevitable that social places
change over time so that if we
continue to go to the same place
over a number of years we are
likely to experience a total change

of crowd from those we knew at
the start.
Just think about your favourite
café. The same phenomenon can
exist there too. When you first
went, you kept going because
you found the regular people to
your liking and you were part of
the crowd that all went around
the same time. As time passes,
new people come along and that
may have different priorities and
agendas that vary from the ones
you are familiar with. Gradually
the café music may change, the
pictures on the walls might alter as
does the menu. SL is a bit like that.
There are likely to still be places
you feel more at home and those
places might attract folks more
like you who have been there a
while and like similar aspects of
SL that you like. The trick is finding
those places and people.
Think back to the things you enjoyed back then, the activities and
places you visited (of course in
SL sims sometimes cease to exist
and that is a sad thing when they
are your favourite). If the location
is gone, there may be something
similar to become a regular at and
join in the fun there.
Even something as simple as the
kind of music you used to like to
listen to then might still be played
in various places now. Seek those
places out and you might just find
a bunch of folks standing around
all wondering where all the nice
people have gone, and lo and behold, there you’ll be to answer the
call.
