Draco, you're a good guy, but take it from me that sometimes this site is very quiet when it comes to making friends. But I have to say that nihilism is a very unattractive concept to a lot of people, and I see that even you are doubting its validity with this going on.
If there's anything that I've learned, making friends online takes a fuckton of patience and presence. There's a point where you make plenty right away, then a giant pause where it seems that silence prevails, and then a speedup once again. At least, that's what I see. So quite frankly, the question is less a matter of why and more a matter of when.
The internet is crowded with timid types, and even then, there's also those who fear the fate of being deceived. The internet can house both types easily thanks to anonymity, so you can expect people to be very slow on the uptake less due to lack of noticing and more due to the culture of excessive caution that the internet seems to have bred. Them and Tumblrinas who take offense to every imperfection one might have and expect everyone to adhere to stereotypes and/or know everything about them before approaching.
I'd love to game with you, dude, but we don't have any similar games in our Libraries from what I see. So I apologize for not actually talking to you on Steam after adding you, but I guess you could toss me into the members of the internet who act too cautiously at times. Being able to game with you would make it far easier for us to chatter, since I'm pretty crappy at idle conversation (at first) for whatever reason. Buuuuut, music seems like a good place to start, so I'll use that then. The last thing I want to see is someone feeling excluded like this.

OT: Why can't my father just have a profession that kept him in one place? My Grandparents always seem to screw me over what with them rushing me out before I have the proper means to make it on my own, and they always pin it on my father to 'fix that.' My father cannot do that because he's always moving and he's always going places I cannot follow to get himself back on his toes... Something my Grandfather's stubbornness also impeded upon. Old man could have co-signed for a small house up in Tacoma, Washington, only to decline the co-signing despite having no clear reason on doing so. I could have been living there and working a proper job, but instead they opt to keep me living with them when they know they plan on moving anyway, expecting me to be independent before I even got a job.
If only my father had started that business like he wanted, I could have an apartment and a steady job and my Grandparents would have never had to worry about sending me off to ride on my father's coattails, constantly. I know there's not much point in lamenting about the past, but when people simply refuse to learn from past mistakes it drives me mad.
