How much do you value your online friends?

[Drummershuff]

Yeah, how much do you value your online friends? I have about three or four people that I value quite highly and I tell them things I wouldn’t want my friends in real life to know..

[ArKiVe]

Um, just a few. I tell some special people online what I tell few people in life. Just depends on what they act like or who they are.

[Dark Mightyena]

I have like.. 4-6 or some where around there. That I tell about my problems here, and family problems. And all that, I treat them like family. Like my own brother/sister.

[Makoto]

My friends here are closer than my real friends to me, if that tells you anything....

[Sorairo]

My friends online have been better friends than most people I know. I have a best friend offline, who I talk to everyday, and they'll never be better friends than her, but I care about my friends online more than they might know

[[Fear_Itself]]

I honestly think I make better friends online than in real life.
I tell some (or most) of my friends online what I wouldn't tell the friends I know personally.
It's much easier to communicate with people online than off the computer, well, atleast for me.
So, I value my online friends very much.

[Dark Night]

I tell my friends online, mostly what I tell my friends in real life. Some things I tell my friends off the internet, arn't as much as I tell my other friends.

[McGraw]

It's very difficult to become close with anyone online; you can never be sure that they are the same personality in real life. I have online friends and I do value them, but I tend to keep them at arms length.

[kimi_catdemon]

I value them as much as the people I know in RL. I seem to have alot of fun with them too!

[Digital Mage]

A few.. Definitely. But I try not to dwell on them too much.

[♥Naomi♥]

i think im better freinds with ppl here than some ppl in real life.
its just....like i can trust ppl here with things i cant even tell my parents.
.....

[xo*hugs.n.kisses*ox]

I value them loads and loads because they value me. Hey, we are "friends"....

[Aegis]

Well seeing as how most of my friends are online, I value them more ^^, I only have one friend off line. Shes my cuzin xD, and I don't get to see her very often, so we're not as close as I am with some people online.

[Himawarii]

Definately.Although I try to balance my value for RL and online friends equally.

So definately yes.I value online friends alot ^_^

[Kenji~]

I value my online friends more than offline friends, because my offline friends are total idiots that annoy me.

[conmad]

I value my Online friends more than my offline friends I feel more comfortable with my online ones

Am I one matty?

[Utada]

I value my friends a little more online than irl. I do have friends irl...but not as much as online. I only have a few offline...not too many. I do value everyone, but it is a little more than others. Online Friends > Offline friends

[Goblinaro #4]

I value my online friends a ton. They usually help me out in excruciating situations. The ones that i value the most right now is Greta and Acer(Acer's on Surrealchat.net)

[Uiariamu_Shibu]

it varies sometimes.....they are my best friends,but at the same time,.....I gotta keep watch(but only 1%)you guys know that there are......evil people out there...and since this place would attract kids as well,....I study the way people reply and stuff.....to see if they are real or not....catch my drift?...I didn't wanna reply to this,because,....well,it would probably hurt people's fellings,but I'm not passive...so...yea...

[oni flygon]

I value a couple or so...

I can't really put my full trust in them because I don't really know them personally and face to face unlike my real life friends who I go out to movies and have lunch with them and such... well you get the idea...>>

[diarugapal]

I value every one of them. I mean without them I'd die! Ok, maybe not really but they are the best people ever.

[Jeremy]

I value all my friends just like they were my family, sweeties. X3

[Seifer]

Matt: Am I one of them? o.o

Why not? Online friends are still friends, and I value them all. Enough said.

[Drifblim]

I value them very much, as they're probably the only friends I have that can actually understand me. Well, aside from the ones at the youth summits.

[GymLeaderLily]

I value all of my online friends! And friends offline. But some of the friends I made when I first joined this site, I lost contact with because I didn't have Aol service for 3-4 months and they haven't responded to me since. :'( *sobs* All of my friends are amazingly cool people and I value them all!!! XD

x3 Ditto.
I can make friends easier online too...
and I tend to have more fun talking to the peolple I've met online as well...
Not that I don't have fun with my real friends... Its sorta even actually ...besides the fact that I have more friends online then IRL.
XP

[Iruka_Sakana]

I value them just as much as real life friends. I have a ton more online (mostly on xanga) and I can tell them things I can't tell anyone in real life. They help me out alot too. ^^ However, I don't trust some of them enough to give them my address or anything. My sister had a bad experience with an online friend, so... I just wouldn't do that.

[B-Baller]

I value my online friends more than my friends in real life to tell you the truth...they're nicer than those jerks who think they're better than anyone else.

[Dawg 2005]

I value my close online friends a lot.

For instance, Matt, Emma, etc.

Even though I value all my friends, the close ones I value more. (Wow that sounds mean. XD)

[enyce]

I have online friends and I value them also...

I have been here for like 2 months. And havent gotten a single friend.

[Team Magma Girl]

There are a few I value a lot. But I do value all my online friends. I just hope they value me as much as I do them. o.o;;

[Uiariamu_Shibu]

hey,..I thought I was your friend!!!!:\

[Karma Dude]

Alot, I talk to people I know from the internet loads since I'm on the computer so much... (I have a problem).

[Chase Leader]

To be honest, all of the online friends that I have are some of my real friends in real life. So do I value my online friends yes...do I have any friends that I only talk to online kinda, but I really don't pay too much attention to them...well unless they need support or something.

[Jorah]

How I got my group of online friends is a bit of a long story, so I'll cut it very short. We used to post on some old comment boards (which were basically for people to comment about some new news) on a popular website, but the owner kicked us out of our comment board and closed it down. We made a forum so we could still chat I've gotten to know lots of them, there are about 20 that I know really well. We all come from lots of different countries and we're all really good friends. We probably tell each other stuff that we wouldn't let our "real life" friends.

[Chase Leader]

LOL, why would you tell someone you have NEVER seen in your entire life stuff you wouldn't tell a friend you actually know personally in real life? I don't get it...my friends are one of a kind, I grew up with them for over half of my life...thats a real friend not just someone you can discuss stuff with.

Online friends are nice and all, but my real friends would defend me, tell me anything, and do stuff with me...now tell me what do online friends do for me?

I know that probably makes me sound like a jerk so sorry but thats how I feel, online friends I can give advice to and ask for support but thats about the size of it.

[enyce]

hey,..I thought I was your friend!!!!:\

Oh yeah, one friend is better than nothing

you got AIM??

[Misayu]

My friends online are like my friends offline...except the ones online are always there for me and they IM me all the time to talk....rather than offline my friends never call me unless I call them...which I'm really not much of a phone chatter. D=

[Samurai X]

Making friends online is easier than in real life for me too. I "value" my online friends as much as I do my real life friends but to say that they're better and more trustworthy...I don't know. I only have a couple of good online friends, like two, however, my real life friends are more important to me, it's just natural for me.

[Hana ♥]

My online friends are just as close to me as my real life friends.I value friends a whole lot.So internet friends are very close to me! ^_^

[~Summer Queen~]

I value my online so much if they really hurt me i get really upset...
But if i really like them i dont really make a big fuss over it...

[Dillon]

i like my only internet friend a whole lot...as in love,i dont have a lot of internet friends cause she makes up 4 them!

[Uiariamu_Shibu]

wow...so you guys have trouble making friends in RL?!......If I knew you guys in rl,I bet you guys wouldn't be saying these things!!!

[Dillon]

wow...so you guys have trouble making friends in RL?!......If I knew you guys in rl,I bet you guys wouldn't be saying these things!!!
i DO have rl friends...just no1 i love.

[Drummershuff]

Matt: Am I one of them? o.o

Why not? Online friends are still friends, and I value them all. Enough said.
No, I hate you.
You are one, yes, Ryan. o.o

[Lily]

Rioku - ...No one ever made that an absolute statement. Just because making friends online is easier doesn't exactly constitute a level of difficulty for real life. It's all a matter of comparison and how you work your trust, I s'pose.

For the question, I highly value my online friends. <3

[Natsuki]

My friends online mean just as much to me as my friends offline do. I'm not talking about every single person I speak to online, just the people I'm really close to. I value all the friendships I gain in life, thus I should only present the same trust and admiration for those acquired online as well as off.
