cb social groups Options

no offense or anything, but i think those of you who form relationships online with people you've never met before and little "online" social cliches are extremely pathetic. yes i'm talking about those of you in cb who are constantly on and constantly trying to make friends with people you don't even know. i can bet my ass over half of you aren't the same offline as you are on.

Yeah, maybe you DO need social skills in the "real world"... but, don't you need to use them on the internet, as well? createblog, for example, is an online community... some social skills are used.... and it's not physical interaction with one another... but it's how you are as a person and how you are with others [assuming we all act the same online as off]... I guess what I'm trying to say is... wouldn't you need social skills to participate in an online community?
If two people were 'friends' on the internet and really did care about one another and wanted to expand their friendship a bit more than maybe they'll actually meet with each other in real life. So then that online friendship turns into something more... one in the physical world

Awesome way of putting it.

I think it's cool to have online friends and online relationships.
I feel like I can almost talk to them more than my offline friends.
I don't embarrass myself in front of my online friends... and stuff like that, so yeahh.. I think it's fun to have online friends. There's always someone to talk to.
