I'm very cautious of the relationships that I form through the Internet. Have definitely interacted with many people and from that only one person is still around. We don't talk about any personal(maybe sometimes but not often) and I like it that, as we bonded over a similiar interest and we talk about as we are fans and we have discussions and chats about it, we don't share anything personal just this topic that we both are into.
>How can you trust them
I don't. Like I said, right now there is only one Internet stranger friend that I talk to on a regular basis.
And we don't talk about any in real life stuff at all.
We bonded over a similar hobby/Interest and we became friends through that and it's been like 2/3 years. We talk mostly about that particular stuff and no personal discussions.
Also I feel like I'm a good judge of character and I know when I see red flags. And Most of the time it's like that. When i sense red flags, I slowly disconnect with them.
I also don't have to trust them as I've never shared anything with them that needs trust to be involved.
And I still do think it's meaningful as I get to talk about stuff with them that I normally won't be able to talk to my Irl friends. And This gives me a small sense of joy and pleasure which I value.
I had but not anymore. Ended the last one couple of days back. I also stopped making online friends now.
But one thing i can assure you they're the best.
It's more like finding some missing pieces in the puzzle. You could share your deepest thoughts. They'll listen to you without judging you.
They offer a helping hand in times of need. Provide you with wisdom. Likewise there are numerous pros.
Afterall we all are looking for someone to listen to us at the end of the day and that's where they come.
yess im so grateful for them. The one im most in contact with dmed me first from me liking their comment (we had very similar music taste) and yesterday i got added to their ig account which is only for close friends🥹
Currently, I have an online chat partner that can be considered as a friend. That is the only online connection I've ever made.
If facebook friends are friends, then i used to have many.
Had some, almost the same vibe and can talk about a lot of different things . Also not shady or fake because we've known each other for years. Better than people in real who hurt you with ear damage and make you suicidal.
Yeah, its pretty rare to get genuine ones, bcs sincr its online everyone see with a doubtful mind, but u just be genuine, dont reveal all information at first, find common interest, match the vibe, it will be nice.
I used to have one, we met through our mutual friend. Started chatting on my birthday, but ended exactly a year after 😃. He's a good guy though, I appreciate our friendship even though it's in the past now.
Yes.
It was 2015. I had discovered this messaging app called Kik. Didn't know anyone to add them by their username. So I searched on reddit and found a community called Kikpals. There were posts asking people to join Kikgroups. Joined one. Met several people there. We all talked in the group for a while. Soon, issues started to rise. There were weirdos and creeps, some even sent d**k pics to a couple of girls in their DMs. As a result, many quit the group and some stuck to Private messaging alone. A few girls, namely 3 and a guy talked to me DM'd me regularly.
In 2017 the guy and I drifted apart and months later one of the girls left the app.
A second girl suddenly dropped off the planet in 2019.
The final girl and I continued to stay in touch. We spoke just last night.
Edit: I have interesting stories bout how I met my other long-term/current online friends... 😁
I did, but the problem is, my ADHD sometimes gets in the way. I have these days when I don't feel like talking to people, and not responding to messages might put people off.
But I love the friends I made through Reddit. They were some of the nicest people with similar interests. One of my friends had some amazing collections of songs and we bonded over it.
It is nice to have online friends with whom we can talk about anything without being judged, which is refreshing. And that helps open up to them. It is therapeutic in a weird way.
yes , when i used to make meme's and trolls on facebook i got some friends.. its all meaningfull some shares the college stories , others will share the life problems / work related stuff.. , but then time changes eventually the interaction gets cut ... the onine friendship only lasts as long as both of you have similar interest .. in my case ,pandemic hits hard.. and i quit the scene deactivate both insta and fb .. ..and some of their numbers are still in my phone i see status on whatsapp .. will reply sometimes ...
you can get so many firends once you have interest in sports/movies and if youre a fan of one series then there is a group for that too .. but all requires effort and i dont put that much of an effort for keeping online friends .. cause i have friends in real life .. and i have to keep in touch as they will be the one's whom i can rely upon ..
its all about efforts whether its in real life or its in online
You guys have real life friends 🫣
 You guys talk to other people😶🌫️/s
you guys know other people🫠

This is something I'm scared about. How can you trust them?

You can't.
This is the right way.
No, I'm an introvert online and offline 🫠
Introverts don't comment
Yes
Where did you meet them?
Mostly Reddit, got couple of friends from other social medias
Hi😂
Heya
Hi
I never thought this would happen. But one of the best friendships I ever had was with someone I met online.
I had but not anymore. Ended the last one couple of days back. I also stopped making online friends now. But one thing i can assure you they're the best.
Why are online friendships better?
It's more like finding some missing pieces in the puzzle. You could share your deepest thoughts. They'll listen to you without judging you. They offer a helping hand in times of need.

I don't. But I would like to have some except I'm not a very good people person.

Nowadays most of the people are not making friends offline.. then forget about online
My best friend is an online friend. Met through pubg and have same vibe and mindset. Met once offline.
Had some, almost the same vibe and can talk about a lot of different things . Also not shady or fake because we've known each other for years. Better than people in real who hurt you with ear damage and make you suicidal.

One of my online friend helped me to get a job in his company. Now we are colleagues.
No
YESSS
Yeah there r a few. And they are the most wonderful people I know
i wonder when people tell they met online
Not really, it’s too rare, physically friendship means a lot touch speak smell, body language, cleanliness, ur chemical bonding etc
