Friendship requires respect, communication and helping each other.

Those are the basic principles behind friendship from what I know. Online friendship and how I saw things happening on the chat a little earlier now would mean that you should do the same.

All 3 things that I named are very important and to make new friends, you need to first communicate with people about things. Things you know about, I recommend not talking about something you know nothing about just to say something, speak and discuss topics that you know about and which are your favorite. What I can guess is that the main topic you should talk about here and why we are all friends is because we all love One Piece!

By communicating you earn respect or disrespect from the one you are communicating to or hears about what you communicated. Respect is basically how a friendship is held together, if the respect is not reciprocated, then I wouldn't say that would be a friendship. Even though lately with FB and all, the importance that respect has in a friendship has lessened...

And finally as I said, helping each other, you do it in a friendship, because of respect so it'd be kind of the final step in making friend, helping someone means that you also earn more respect from that certain someone, so you enter a circle of deepening your friendship that starts from respect and goes to helping that makes you earn respect and then you can help again and earn more respect and so on.

So you have to talk to people about things you like and they like, earn their respect and help them out when they need you. That's how I would characterize the term friendship in short...

Change always happens, when you experience stuff, when you communicate and so on, it's evolving. You should always welcome good changes and try to change yourself for the better. But be careful at what you find "better". The reasons behind that change should not be, because bad people hate you or something such as that. Don't worry, if you are a "freak", then try and find people that accept "freaks". I know a few freaks myself and they don't really care how people call them, as long as you're a fun and open person, I don't think there would be a problem even if you were actually a freak.

But I agree with you on learning more English, since it's the most spoken language in the world at the moment, from what I remember, and it's not so hard to learn, just like Akihara said, you can try reading articles, books, watching movies, anime with English subtitles, comics, manga and so on. It'll really help you develop your English skills, you could try to even read the articles from this wiki.

So Satchi, I can say that I am your friend, you're the first person that spoke to me on the chat, so I'd like to thank you for that and wish you luck in finding friends in real-life as well!
