Are LIT Friends real friends?

[JerseyJade]

Sadly, yes, because when they leave, my reaction is the same as missing a IRL friend who has moved away.

Well since you're still working for Liz, I guess we're stuck with you.

The word friend gets thrown around too loosely on LIT, I have been guilty of that myself. I try not to use it too loosely anymore. Back to the question, yes you can have a few real life friends from LIT.

Word.
I've stopped accepting friendship applications.
Quality over quantity. I'm tired of trying harder than other people. Also, I'm over people who don't grasp platonic friendships.

there were applications?

Also, I'm over people who don't grasp platonic friendships.

Omg YES. Well said.

I think for me, on Lit anyway, friendships start in the threads or boards or whatever you like to call them. All of the people that I have become close to and consider them to be friends have started with either us playing in a thread or just going back and forth whether it be a serious or light hearted conversation.

In the past, I have tried to become involved and participate in certain threads on here only to be ignored or not acknowledged by the people who spend time there. These are the people that I don't consider to be friends, let alone friendly; and in the end, I don't even go in those threads anymore. I may not have a lot of "real" friends on Lit, but the ones that I do have, I treasure them with all my heart. I'd rather have a few "real" friends than a lot of fake friends. I have enough of those on facebook.

Great way to think


People shouldn't be trying to hide the fact, that they know you.

Could be worse. The Knight Templar could be saying, " You chose poorly". Just saying.

Life is a moment. This moment. Friends are the same. It is extremely rare to have friends that stand the test of time. One...maybe two in a lifetime. Why? Because paths don't grow that way. And life has a way of preventing that. This in no way diminishes the moment, nor the friendship for what it was.

Yes. It actually happens.

 

[Polranny]

Yes. It actually happens.

Indeed it does (shwmae, Bach!)

Real friendship is what you decide it is and [LIT]friendships are those interactions we put effort into. "you decided to walk away" and all that jazz - ? funk, punk, techno.

Maybe we don't do it often enough/are not reciprocated and those are the ones that die off but "sir ra, sir ra" and screw what doesn't work out (of course I fucked the quote up on purpose).

So, anyways. Friendship is what you make of it, 'if he dies, he dies' there is no try(?). I'm shit faced, IDC.

Love you fucking fucks! You're spinning off this planet and all I can do is try and keep up. *probably the closest I've come to posting on the show your face thread, so far. Headphones on, some many things I don't understand. What's my name?

100%. Some of the best people I've met in my life have been here. But also... some of my most heartaching moments have been here as well. I think it's easier to make yourself vulnerable when you're online. Like there's this shroud of anonymity that makes you brave... so you open up more and can get very hurt if you're not careful. One of the worst feelings is to care so much for someone and then to be forgotten when something newer and better comes along. That seems to be the case the majority of the time when I open myself up to new friendships here.

I agree with this also. Met my closest ever friend here. Shared details about myself that not even my mum knew. Would have trusted him with my life - felt like I’d found a soul mate, if there’s such a thing.

I still hang on to hope that things are resolvable, but what happened has shattered me. I’m living my life, making positive changes but I’ve lost my spark. Feels like a part of my soul is missing.
