5. Giving random compliments to everyone in the hope to gain friends only makes your compliments unworthy of achieving.

6. If someone tells you something about themselves, even just their first name, it does not give you permission to tell someone else even if you know the two people are acquainted.

Decide what's really important in your daily life of reality first.

Then decide if you NEED to be accepted into a place where it is very unlikely you will ever meet 0.0000000000000001% of the people you interact with.

You may ask yourself why you felt a need to pose such a question.

I'm going for dinner with my wife who is real, and loves me. Bye. 😉

Don't even try:

Just be yourself.

You can't please everyone, but you should please yourself.

Stay away from the cliques would be best advice I could give. 😉

Why would any sane and sensible person want to be accepted and/or respected in cyberspace?

How many of us would that be?

Would you say 20 or 30? Perhaps even 40 or 50? We are a microscopic minority of escapists.

Tell me how many people are not here every day.. or any day.

He has no idea how to define those terms. So watch him give you a smart assed reply.
