Do You Prefer To See A Pic Of Your Online Friends?

Post Reply New Topic

I know I prefer it. Not from the get go, but if we have talked for a good while, and become good friends I really like seeing who I am talking to because it just feels more real if I know what their face looks like. If they refuse to show a picture, I get kind of worried that they could be a troll or something.

Of course there's always the underlying curiosity of what my online friends look like but I won't judge them if they don't show their picture. Personally, my online friends are those who I've connected with on a much deeper level than I do with a regular friendship. With regular friendship, I'm not as warm but way more polite than when I communicate with people online. The thing I love about the internet is that I can communicate with others on the web without a fear of my personal inhibitions, as opposed to when I'm with people face-to-face (My face is one of those things that can deter people from even wanting any communication with me unfortunately.)

I mean, I have like no sense of hope in the world when it comes to communicating with people face-to-face, the internet is, sadly, the one place I can vent out and actually witness good things.

So do I care if I see someone's face if they're my friends exclusively online? No.

For sure~

It's pretty mysterious at first when I was talking with someone without a picture, but that got old so fast it felt like I was talking with a wall.

Nope, but they end up insisting I see what they look like. I mean this in the nicest possible way, but I couldn't give a crap.

I actually don't have that many pictures taken of me.

I would have for one particular person...but they have changed so much that to me seeing their face would feel forced (I feel that they are being pressured).

I don't mind seeing a picture, but it doesn't do much to me feelings wise. It doesn't made me feel like I 'know' the person better, so in that sense it doesn't matter to me.

No.

i dont go talking with strangers
online its only on WP venting about my frustrating life

Definetely. I'll want to see what they look like after a week of talking generally.

No not really, in fact, it makes it easier to talk, if they have their preferences and or subjects listed, that would be a bonus.

I need to know what my friends look like. They aren't real people in my mind otherwise.

No it doesn't matter

Doesn't matter. They'd still be the same person no matter what face they had.
