Friendship?

@xynox yeah, that makes sense lol. but its relatively the same, i have tons of aquaintences offline, but i make friends online a lot, and i value them more as well. though i do have close friends online and offline.

I am positively sure it is possible. I met one of my closer female friends online. She knows more about me than most people I see and talk to on a daily basis. Lately we don't contact each other that often any more, but I think that true friendship survives time. Every time one of us decides to message the other again, we have the most fun and open conversations ever as if no time had passed and I never even met her in real life

Yes c: My friend Maggie and I met on OKC - we meet up and hang out every once in a while to play magic and game, watch Dr. Who (ive slacked very badly dont ask me anything about it idk a thing) and stuff like that. Granted, not everyone has the opportunity to hang out with an online friend like I do, but I've also been friends with the same group of people that I've never met while gaming for 7 years now too c:

It's rare, but over the last few years I've made 2 very close friends on the internet. Haven't met them in person and sadly won't ever get to meet one of them (RIP Bro), but it is totally possible to create close friendships online. It's definitely harder for me to trust someone on the internet though, so it is a bit harder to really form those bonds.

I think the internet can really disconnect people from their lives..but I also know its an amazing tool to connect to people who aren't so close to one another. I think if any two individuals are willing then you can become true friends no matter the circumstance.

I don't know, to be honest. I think it's easy to get along with someone's surface personality online but it takes time to get to know the real them, & you'll never truly know everything unless you spend time together in person. I had a very close friend online who I'd share everything with, I knew her for about 5 years & we'd skype now & then for hours, or chat on facebook leaving each other ridiculously long paragraphs and neither of us minding. We had several interests and ideals in common, I felt like we understood each other pretty well... I thought of her like a little sister. I even wanted to move closer to her so we could actually hang out,I was seriously thinking about it, then without warning she deleted me as a friend. I knew that she'd be gone for lengths of time because of personal issues, & I thought that's all it was, then I realized I was unfriended. I re-added her & tried to talk about it and she was upset it took me that long to realize, and said that she felt like I didn't care about her or pretended to care, that I wasn't giving her enough attention as a friend, then unfriended me again. She was also jealous of some other friends of mine & said I liked them more... I don't know... my point is, you can't always trust that relationships online are real. That's why it's best to meet someone in person & spend time getting to know them. I'm not saying it can't happen, I do have some good friends online still, but I don't know how long they will last, people have real life issues to deal with that a friend online can't always be aware of.

Well, I can see the issue there. another problem with internet friendships is anything can happen that can cause you to not be able to talk to that person anymore. wether they're account gets deleted, or something personal happens that you never find out about. such as them having to move or whatever the case may be. but i'd still say you can make really close friends online. i have a few. and i'm actually finally going to go see them this may ^.^
