First, I would say you are better off finding CD/TG friends at places like support groups or other places where you can meets face to face in a safe place. You never know what you are getting on the Internet.
For me, my need for interaction with others is addressed through a few groups I go to. But I meet some of them outside of groups and that isn't a need, that is friendship. Even some of the drive to go to groups is about friendships.
