count the number of downvotes of this post submission plus my abrasive attitude in this comment and tell me how likely that is to happen
That just proves my point though
The down votes are from internet strangers
I'm an internet stranger
Friends would presumably be people who share in your interests and outlooks and so would be willing to help you figure such things out. At least mine are.
My friends are good fun people, but our interest overlap is quite small. I've historically found myself learning more about my interest from internet strangers, than from irl friends.
