I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree with the metric of your analysis. You measure worth by the number of people who care about you, but the scientific community has largely abandoned this as a reliable indicator. Far more important is the depth to which people care about you.

In addition, your differentiation between so-called "real life" and "internet" friends is facile. It would serve you well to remember that everyone on the internet, or even real life, is a fully-realized person. They have feelings and personalities, just like you. A friend is a friend is a friend, and they're importance cannot be discounted.

I may not know you in real life, but that won't stop me from caring.

In all likelihood, you just read a clunky wall of text. There's no need for me to make you read even more in my signature.
