I actually do give this advice:
Spend a lot of time in threads watching and learning from the interactions of the people who have been here longest. Get to know them as much as possible. They have stood the test of time with each other and are more trustworthy to be real and genuine. Always read page 1 of threads in games to know the rules. Play in there and be yourself. Eventually, you will find the people you connect with.

Better at connecting to people irl. Used to lack too much in confidence. Now, I find there is an incredible amount of confidence you can have with people if you are just kind.
