| Well, some of them are actually very good friends. I have known them for a long time. |
 |
| I feel the same way but I'm more receptive to the idea that it can be possible. I hear about it happening for sure so maybe it truly exists and I try to keep in touch with people but it's really hard for one reason or another. |
  ♡ Harder Daddy ♡ |
| I guess a lot of internet friendships are superficial and limit itself to being in good terms without knowing them that well or really being able to put a lot of trust in them. But the same goes for real life friendships though. With some efforts even people you meet on the internet can become great friends. I've met lots of people over the last decade on the internet and made a few long-lasting friendships and even met quite a few of them IRL. I still regularly hang out with four of them (we were all regulars from a Quebec forum). |
| They have been better friends than anyone I ever only first met in person. |

@traed What you told yeah. I don't have many friends in real life. Real life my friends can count on one hand.
| @Amityblight I never had many either and those I did have were just shallow relationships because I didn't know how to connect deeper and no one really reached out to me for whatever reason. |

| Judging from the fact that not a single one of my school friends ever bothered to contact me even once 15 years after graduation, I'd say true friendship is something that is rarer than gold. |
| It's something I've pondered over a lot in 2024, and imo: they can be. It really depends on what you do to make the connection happen. The truth is that a LOT of communication happens non-verbally, and a friendship that's 100% based on just talking will always be inferior, period. You can't pull people out of their comfort zones, you can't hug them, you can rarely influence their thinking on a deeper level and it really takes a specific kind of person to be open to it in the first place. Friendship is only really established when it's tested, and real connection is only formed when you're out of your comfort zone. It's why I always advocate for IRL connections over online any day of the week. You can talk to someone for months or even years, but if your friendship has never been tested, 9 times out of 10 people have no qualms about dropping you if you rub them the wrong way. Been done to me and I've done that to people. If you want a real connection? Go and make it happen. Expand your comfort zone, invite people on a call to watch a movie together, play games together, TALK ON A CALL, do activities together, go on VRChat or something to make it more personal, be creative be creative be creative. I've had people tell me they didn't feel a connection/consider me as a "real friend" until I invited them on a call, and (bit of raji-lore here) one of my first crushes came to be because they pulled me out of my comfort zone by inviting me on calls and encouraging me to speak when I was young and insecure about my accent :P And most of all: don't be afraid. You're gonna be judged, and that's ok. Someone else will love you for it. Bottom line is that you CANNOT connect with someone by staying in your comfort zone, and LETTING THEM stay in theirs. A lot of people are afraid and reserved just like you are. Go push some boundaries (as long as you're not a jerk about it) and reach out and communicate and let them know you want to be closer and do more stuff together. Go get 'em trooper |

| The definition of (good) friend would be different for a person. It seems many of here put weight on the duration and interval of conversation. Incidentally, the items returned from Chat-gpt were: trust, frequency, emotional support, shared interests, quality of communication, reciprocity, time spent together, shared experiences. (Judging from the reply, it seems the AI was in good mood today.) |
| There's only 1 internet friend I would call a real friend, because we played a game and talked about random stuff almost every day for several years. |
No, this isn't my signature. |
| yeah, couple people I met on the internet really became what I consider friends |
 |
| My experiences have mostly been rather sour or one-sided, but they definitely can be your friends. The whole "your internet friends aren't your real friends" thing is somewhat stupid. Generally, if it's people you play games with or some carefree local community, you have a higher chance of forming a meaningful relationship compared to some guy you met on Reddit or MAL. People generally have a harder time opening up and trusting others on platforms that are focused on text-based discussions/debates, but making friends on those places is most certainly still possible. |
| Not as close as the ones IRL, I have here on mal and through steam one of my first buddies online whom I know since 2010 and we still write each other on daily routine so he's the closest one. There's also a few of whom I have very positive memories/opinion as not all of them are online anymore. Nonetheless I have some of my acquintaces, previous classmates, other buddies whom I met firstly IRL and are in my friend list in Mal, steam or other sites like that. |
| i have some for sure, but to be honest, I often can't maintain strong relationships with people on the internet. at some point I feel too overwhelmed if they expect me to reply to them all the time, especially if we talk about some random stuff and this conversation has no depth to it. I guess I just don't attach myself to those people as much as I do to people I can meet and talk in person, but I still do cherish these relationships I have and I'm glad there are some people I can chat with from time to time |
   sos, there's a goddess in disquise |
| They can be, it depends on how you work with it I guess |
 |
| "Are people on the internet really your friends?" Yes they are real people |
   |
| I've met some great souls on here - people who I would call my very close friends. We still talk and catch up to this day. People really need to go outside though and not rely on this one site for social interaction. There's a whole wide world out there. |
| Yes, I have friends and acquaintances online just like I do offline. |
  |
| Never bother to make friends through the Internet. Real people are all you need. |
 |
| "Are people on the internet really your friends?" Yep You can make good friends in any situation ~ |
  |
| It's possible that they can be, although the connection that you have with them will typically be more precarious than with someone you're friends with IRL. It can easily happen that they suddenly just ghost you, or even straight up block or unfriend you out of nowhere, even when things seem to be going well with them, and if you only talk to them on one platform then there's also the possibility that they'll lose their account. Only chance of friendship recovery in this case is if you know another friend who's in touch with them that can fill you in on why any of that's happened, and hopefully get you back on speaking terms. It's worth noting that friends you've known IRL can also pull this on you once their priorities change, and their life journey brings them somewhere else. If it should happen that it takes them to greater heights than you, then it's a sad reality that your friendship could end up being seen as inconvenient, making them more likely to just brush you aside as they look down on you than do anything to help you get up there with them. So if it's doubtful whether people online can be your friends, then from my perspective the same should go for whether anyone is really your friend at all, honestly. |

| I like to think they are as they don't hurt me by being mean and rude. |
| depends on the friends most of my online friends i have known for 8+ years and have met up with some of them and they are willing to help me out when i need it like my friend who lent me money to buy textbooks when i was short due to my issues with my disability pension. I have a few friends overseas who care enough that i have been welcomed to stay with them if i visit their country also so i'd say they are real friends also. |
| And the people IRL are equally as untrustworthy as the people on the Internet btw. |

Amityblight said: @149597871 Don't think it's stupid at all at, at the end of day most of us are just text on the screen. I never been on reddit if it's like mal I don't think you can build meaning friendship. Tumblr is little was different people posted many meet and greets actual for know interactive person. I said was because it's far different now. I think you maybe misread that. Numbers was saying people who think internet friends arent friends, are stupid. I met a fair number of people from tumblr before unfortunately losing contact. I haven't used it in quite some time because I felt too off about something so i dont know what it is like anymore. Probably worst places for making friends are imageboards like 4chan because no pseudonymous identity and no way to privately message anyone. This is why people who only use these sites are so mentally off and sometimes dangerous because they lack friends instead only being friends with a collective of people which does not act like a healthy relationship. Amityblight said: @k0m0d097 I made another about that thread that in past I still find bullshit how busy are they that they can't 2 minutes to text back like WTF. My sister does this. It can take anywhere from days to weeks to months for her to respond to anyone either text or call. It's understandable when really long messages though since it can be exhausting to reply to sometimes and takes a lot more than a few minutes. Some stuff i write takes an hour or a few hours to write due to tracking down info or proof reading for careful wording, |

| @traed I don't have a personal problem, I am making the observation that depending on the user you will argue literally any and every point you can get your hands on without any regard for whether it's rational to do so or if you are post hoc rationalizing it (such as when you challenged the claim that older people are less likely to endorse Mangione by citing that they have health issues more often, even though you were dead wrong on the inference and it should have been pretty obvious to anyone not engaged in motivated reasoning), but for others you will tolerate outlandish demands (like do not correct me ever on a public forum) I just find it odd. |

| @Auron To me you seem to since I am reading you as being accusatory and insulting out of nowhere. You must be confusing me for someone else entirely for some things but otherwise do not seem to understand the first thing about me. I have no interest in pointless arguing for arguing sake and I generally either read into something before saying something or if I cant find anything I phrase myself in such a way to highlight the speculative nature or say something as a way of extracting information. I don't even know what you're talking about with your example. Maybe you misunderstood what I was saying. I barely even remember anything like that. My primary concerns are exchange of knowledge, ideas and experiences. |

| - Over the years, I have spoken and played with a few people and to this day we still keep in touch. - It doesn't mean that we are friends, more acquaintances, sometimes when we have difficulties in life we also have our pride, this pride means we don't share the most difficult moments and because of this it becomes difficult to define who is a friend or not. |

Expand your comfort zone, invite people on a call to watch a movie together, play games together, TALK ON A CALL, do activities together, go on VRChat or something to make it more personal, be creative be creative be creative. I've had people tell me they didn't feel a connection/consider me as a "real friend" until I invited them on a call, and (bit of raji-lore here) one of my first crushes came to be because they pulled me out of my comfort zone by inviting me on calls and encouraging me to speak when I was young and insecure about my accent :P
And most of all: don't be afraid. You're gonna be judged, and that's ok. Someone else will love you for it.
Bottom line is that you CANNOT connect with someone by staying in your comfort zone, and LETTING THEM stay in theirs. A lot of people are afraid and reserved just like you are. Go push some boundaries (as long as you're not a jerk about it) and reach out and communicate and let them know you want to be closer and do more stuff together. Go get 'em trooper
It really depends on what you do to make the connection happen. The truth is that a LOT of communication happens non-verbally, and a friendship that's 100% based on just talking will always be inferior, period. You can't pull people out of their comfort zones, you can't hug them, you can rarely influence their thinking on a deeper level and it really takes a specific kind of person to be open to it in the first place.
Friendship is only really established when it's tested, and real connection is only formed when you're out of your comfort zone. It's why I always advocate for IRL connections over online any day of the week. You can talk to someone for months or even years, but if your friendship has never been tested, 9 times out of 10 people have no qualms about dropping you if you rub them the wrong way. Been done to me and I've done that to people.

I find this to be quite true, as well. Most of my close friends started as just online acquaintances a little bit over 10 years ago and, while life happens to us all, some experiences really brought us closer. Trust is the extremely important in any relationship, of course. That being said, I believe online friends can be real friends, yes. However, I find that it'll be natural for it to evolve into RL friendship after some time, and if you have the means to travel around. It's an awesome experience to get to know a new place and have someone that you want to meet show you around, two birds at the same time and all that. |
