I have more friends online than I do in real life. I've always had a hard time "coming out of my shell" when surrounded by people. I still carry that shyness onto the internet, but it's much more ideal for me to speak to people online. I've had about the same amount of drama as I would having "real life" friends.
I also have an issue with stuttering, and it makes me feel less obliged to speak. Pffffpfpfff...

I've found friends online to be somewhat more loyal. Where as drama and gossip can still go around in a clique, it doesn't happen as much to me on the internet as it did when I was in school.

The people I met at school, that I considered friends, were more along the lines of kids who don't speak much and just accept that we've a lot more in common than anyone, so we gather together.

Though I have been deceived online, become heartbroken, and lost sleep and appetite over things that happen here, I find my friends online closer to me than the friends that live in the same town.

My online friends make it easier for me to come out of said shell! And I can't stutter online unless I make it so! Ahahaha.

Do you think it's possible to have true online friends? Yes!
How easily do you make online friends? Umm. I don't know.
Don't you hate that feeling when you realize that someone you considered a friend doesn't consider you the same?
YES! That's the worst feeling in the world. ; A ;
Do you have more online or IRL friends?
I probably have more IRL friends, anymore.
I used to have WAY more online friends.

It makes me so sad when I stop talking to people...
I have made many close friends online, but it always slowly ends.
Maybe this is why I don't really try anymore...?
That and it can be hard to find someone you click with.
Even online.
I've lost touch with the person I'd say has been my best online friend ever.
I miss her dearly... but I'm afraid of bothering her.
& the longer you don't talk to someone...
The harder it seems to be to just say, "OH HEY."
I just sort of float around solo, anymore.
It's a sad, lonely existence.

Do you think it's possible to have true online friends? Yes, most certainly.
How easily do you make online friends? Relatively easy (far easier than IRL)
Don't you hate that feeling when you realize that someone you considered a friend doesn't consider you the same? *Shrugs* Hasn't really happened yet - I don't trust people really unless I have to, even online.
Do you have more online or IRL friends? IRL:Online ratio...1:10

Umm...Holly...I'd just say "Damn the Torpedoes" and contact them. I know it is 100x harder than that (For the same reason, I've lost the majority of my Real-life friends).

My boyfriend keeps telling me that I need to have More IRL Friends. I do Have IRL friends, but in the end they treat me pretty bad. I'm So different than them to the point I feel like an out cast. Even with people who like anime and stuff, they still treat me bad. If anything I prefer my internet friends. Though I do have like 1-2 friends that are alright. Only because I grew up with them, we don't have much in common any more.

My internet friends are precious to me. They take the time to actually get to know you and listen to you. And if there is nothing in common, we find ways to MAKE something in common! And eventually they become my IRL friends as we one day meet up in RL =)

Hmm... I feel like I saw this thread on Solia.

Anyway, I think you can have online friends, and real ones. I met someone through role playing, and now we're Facebook friends. He's from Australia, so I know in retrospect, we'll never meet in person, but it's great to get to know someone, and now that he and his wife are going to have a baby, I'm really happy. Because I legitimately care, I guess we're really friends. I mean, that's what I consider friendly. However, honestly, I think I have more real life friends than online. I made a bunch recently. lol

[Yokuutsu]

You did. Because I posted it on there fairly recently.
