I have my favorite posters

Most here have their 'favourites'.
Some go so far as to call them friends. (Although I can't see how you can be friends with someone you never met! Shades of fb :rolleyes: )

You're far from unique with that op.
 
Yea, cause it ain't possible to have actually met any of these "friends".

Hell, some of us have even fucked in real life, not even counting cyber.

I'm not counting people who have actually met in r/l from lit :rolleyes:
I am saying that you can't be true 'friends' with someone you have never met.

This is probably the saddest thing I've ever seen you write.

Oh, ffs :rolleyes:
Hpw can anyone have 2000 'friends'!
It's not REAL!

Real friends are people who will drop everything for a crisis.... Real friends are people who don't mind you 'offloading' all your crap.... Real friends are people who understand when you aren't around for months at a time, and then call for a chat.....

Who said anything about 2000 friends? What is the color of the sky in your world? And what the hell does your last paragraph have to do with meeting in the meat world? You think you can't get that online/phone/texting/emails?

I see a friend of mine every day, I rarely tell her what's really going on in my life. I talk to one of my best friends once a week, he knows everything and we've never breathed the same air. I don't put qualifiers on friendship, it doesn't have to follow a pattern in order for me to love someone has a friend. And I certainly don't need to sit face to face with them.

Plenty of my, according to you, non friends will do exactly that.

But all of those things can happen in friendships that develop online. Not all friendships online are everyday Facebook "friends." Some of them are built on real connections and emotional affinities.

Needless to say, being in personal contact makes it easier. But absence does not make real friendship impossible.
 
Actually, I have, and have had, a couple of internet friends whom I have never met, or whom I didn't meet for a long time. They are, in some respects, better friends than some of the afk folks I know and call "friend".


It's possible.
 
I call BS.
You meet someone online.... you chat for a year.... and you really think that person will drop everything to come and help in your hour of need?
BULLSHIT.

REAL friends.... you know, the ones you actually KNOW AND LOVE YOU in r/l.... they're the ones who do that.

All the rest is just you thinking you have friends.
 
Well, you're wrong. But hey, maybe we can get another dozen people in here to say the same thing Wat, CJH, LTR and myself have assured you is true.

Just because you've never had it doesn't make it false.

I think you have unnecessary constraints on friendship.

I have a good friend I've known for years who cannot get a visa to get back in the States.

Is he no longer my friend?
