Real life or online friends?

Post Reply New Topic

Like that.
I don't choose to have less social life offline than online (to extent I have one online at all), but as agoraphobic introvert (among other obstacles), am unable/unwilling to attend public functions where "real-life" people meet, mingle, mix & match. I prefer having relationships offline, but that's not much available to me-so I have to pour my personality into typewritten words on the screen (in hopes of having simulation of socializing-which is better than nothing).

I have no online friends, only people I converse with.

I don't consider someone who I don't have immediate personal contact with to be a friend.

Definitely real life friends.

Given my experience of online friendship, there's no contest.

I've met people thru Facebook, but they're not online most of the time, not even on AIM. So which websites do you find MORE online friends??? And do those websites require money for membership???

I personally might say that the internet was a real let-down for me. I tried many times to find friends online etc. I even was close to finding a real friend, and then she just stopped answering.


In real life, I generally never even talked to anyone during summer. (I just go to a magic the gathering club weekly, and that's the high point of my social activities).

Personally, I didn't find any difference between real or online friends. I would actually prefer online if they would answer, but they won't. And I stopped trying.

I've had terrible experiences with online friends. They turned out to be malicious in a way that someone who I saw face to face on a regular basis I don't think could bring themselves to be.

lots of both i am actually suprisingly popular especially by the fact i was the most hate person at my old schools...

LOL, god knows why.

and what does that mean. and by the way i mean hated not hate, incase there is a double meaning.
