Internet Friends

I to be honest, prob have more friends Online then offline. Mainly cuz everyone i know in RL treat me like crap, but the ones i have made online, well sometimes they do, but mostly they don't. I prob have mroe friends on JUST PC then i do in RL. Then again, i can be rude in real lfie, without meaning it, so i guess that is also why.

I've had diablo2 for a few years now, (A game that can be played online) and i made like 5 friends the first few weeks. And you know what was weird, they knew like, so much about me within a short time, at first we were great friends, but then i got bored of the game adn quit. Came back, and they like,well, they all grew up (and i didn't) so everything is like, awkward. But i still consider them great friends, because they are, well, i really don't know how to explain it, but they REALLY REALLY are friends, and i felt bad for leaving them *sigh* oh well.

And there was also a strange thing that happened, on MSN some random person added me, and we talked, and well, she was like, prob the best friend i ever ahd, she was actually kidn of ncie towards me, so i think friends online are prob the best. And also, if you don't know the person, they prob don't know you either, and so you can be yourself, and if they make fun of you, then you can leave em' ;P and it prob wouldnt hurt as much cuz you don't actually know them, so well.. what can they do?

lol, i know, i don't think i made myslef 100% clear on this, so acutally trying to understand it might be kidan difficult XD
 
Internet friends. School friends. It's all classification based upon where you first met the person...a regular "friend" is just someone that you don't associate with a certain place or thing. They're just the same, you just remember where your first place of meeting was, or where you interact with them most often.

A friend met on the Internet has no more or less merit than a friend met elsewhere, but it's often difficult to tell friend from foe...but if you're patient and get to know them, in all of likelihood, you will be able to take down much of your defenses and converse with them normally. I usually give this about a year...so my true "online friends" and my "online buds" are separate to me.

I also have a philosophy about fights between online friends. The Internet is a place intended to be useful, sure, but it's also meant to make its users happy...so why should you let this negative influence from someone whose face you've never even seen before bother you? Take in positive influences; the Internet is one of the few things in life that allows you to filter such things, so seize this chance.
 
I've met somebody on the internet with whom I can talk better than with any of my real life friends. I can talk about anything anytime, without feeling uncomfortable or whatever. With my real life friends that is often not the case.
 
Ok, so I believe in friends over the internet, but relationships are kind of hard for me. Like you've never met them before and who knows, you never know if they are lying about who they are of whatever. I mean how can you trust them. Or maybe they want you to get them trust, and then when you think you are in a so called "relationship" with this person, some may ask if you wanna meet. Well then what hapens then? What is you've never had a bf/gf before and you are desperate to meet them because they just said the words "i love you" and know you believe you are in love? No, you aren't. Possibly when someone says they wanna meet you, it is an online "POSER". they just want to get you and possibly rape or hurt you. But hey, thats just my feelings... =]
 
Er... nah. But it's only me.

I mean, I can't even love my family even though I see them everyday? So, yeah...
 
Internet friends are like a yummy stack of off-white hummus.

That's probably the best analogy I can think of.
 
Well, there really are no limits to friendship, you just need to know when its going to far. If you're going on online dates or something, you need help xD
Anyways, some people act differently online than in real life. You don't know how violent, gullible, etc. they are, because everyone is pretty much equal online. Besides, in real life bonds tend to be stronger, because you share the same community, the same gossip, and the same things happen to the both of you throughout the day. All in all, friends are friends, its just real life friends are easier to sustain than online ones in my opinion.
 
I used to have a bunch of online friends, but now I only have like, one or two of them. I do agree that you can care for an online friend as much as you can for a real friend for the most part though.
 
I guess it's my turn.:classic:
_____________________________

I believe that there is no such thing as "internet friends". I only have friends that I know IRL and have a computer. I know these 2 girls that were real good friends with each other and both had a crush on me. Problem is, I never seen these 2 girls IRL and only in pictures. 1 Was my cousin's friend while the other was her friend. They considered me as a "friend", butI never did. I told 1 that I never liked her and she started bugging out. The other 1 thought I was her "freind" until I mentioned her the truth. They both kept bothering me, so I blocked them from my computer and now I erased them from my life.
 
Heh. This is an extremely interesting topic... I like it.

Friends - Online friends are possible. Though move with caution. An experienced net user will know danger signs, as you are able to read a LOT between the lines. Believe it or not, the way one person writes says a lot about their personality, your mood and whatnot. Straight-to-the-point writing with no smilies or no personalization can be seen as emotionless or very formal. So to a degree you can see who a person is, as you need to concentrate to act (write) things that don't apply to you. ^-^
This is what I experienced at last, and I've been in countless communities since '01.

As for friends you make there ... It is possible. As to a degree you know them. Yet, you ought to be careful. Especially if you get popular, then, just as IRL, people suck up to you for the fame. Has happened to me. =/
These people are also real and can be seen on an equal level of RL friends. I've found that the friends I make have stuck by me through fire and flames, and we've talked through the phone and exchanged letters, among some things. So as with RL best friends, there can be loyalty.
Of course there are always the people who are out after you, but damnit, use your judgement!

Love, is another matter. And take this from one who is in a long distance relationship and is serious about it. It's hard, yes. It's difficult, yes. And it's an odd thought that the one you care for is miles upon miles away.
And how can you say that because one person says "I love you", you instantly believe them? I've been in such relationship twice, and my first one was total crap. The guy said these words and I believed him, and cared for him, but heck, it wasn't love, and the reason I said "I love you" back was to make him feel better, not myself.

As for how you know who they are... Webcams and voice convos tell you a lot. Also I didn't get together with the first person I met... Wasn't even planning on getting into another long distance relationship (but things happen)... but after a half year with a lot of talking and many hilarious events (plus a lot of serious talking, where both of us gave the other insight in each other's lives, feelings and thoughts), then things happened.

The things about looks is okay as well. I have to say that it doesn't matter. You do create mental pictures, but when seeing a picture for the first time, for me it was a matter of getting rid of my first mental image of the person and replacing it with the picture. And no matter the looks.
These eyes of my beloved make up for it by tenfolds! Or so I say... And as for furthermore, I know two couples that met this way, and they're fine now. One of them are married, the other have plans of moving together.

Just my little input ^-^

I have fallen for someone online before, but nobody offline. O_o

Anyways, most of the friends I enjoy are online, but a lot of them are inactive right now, so I can't enjoy myself to the fullest yet. ;-;
