i treat people offline the same way i treat them online. i don't consider many of them to be my "friends", in fact they're more like acquaintances. i also have (like most people) that small group of 'true friends'. however, i'd have to disagree with you on some of that. one can still develop a good online "friendship", just not a physical one. perhaps you haven't experienced anything like that because of your opinion, and that's all right... but then again you can't really say something's pathetic if you haven't been in the situation ;o there are lots of people who don't go online for the sole purpose of meeting new friends: it just happens.

He said he's 16. Putang ina

Haha, I don't have time to actually create or actively join a cb "social group". Granted, I have made a few friends on here.
And I am the same online as I am offline. Trying to be someone different is exhausting. And wasting so much of my energy on the internet is pointless, so you won't be seeing me having as many "outbursts" online as I do off. |

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. |

Err I pretty much trust people online..
Before CB and all this xanga stuff, I used to play this game thingy called Habbo and I had soo many relationships [friends.] on there.. And yeah, youre practically behaving as you do in real life when youre online, so things like Dating, Popular Clitches, Arguements do happen.. Its also abit dumb too cause youre arguing online :/ and online is supposed to be fun. :) Heh.. people shouldnt have to deal with this stuff online, I mean if they have it in RL, while do it online too, instead of escaping it

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. |

You know.
I just came to realizing.. who really cares if they act differently online than offline? At least they're someone to talk to and share your problems with, help them with theirs. Just be a friend. Who really cares if they're different online than offline. I know I don't care. |

Then you might as well talk to smarterchild, because you're exactly right my dear. You DON'T care, chances are the other person doesn't care either. I know if someone tried to IM me with their problems I wouldn't care because I don't know them.

You can be friends if you know them or not.. meeting them is another thing. Ive known some of my friends online for 3 years, and they are just as important as real life friends, whether Ive met them or not. Ive never met anyone online, farthest Ive done was talk on the phone with them.

yeah the only difference is that if you see them in the real, physical world, you might not even know it was them, and how could they be your friend if you can't even recognize them?

no i dont know her. but her username is my_papaya. the only one i talk to online from cb is trish, but i wouldn't consider her a friend but i believe we both have an understanding of basically the hypocrisy many people here posess and an understanding of our personalities. i dont talk to her about life and love and all that friends do... at any rate, the dictionary defines a friend as "A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. " would you trust someone you "knew" online if you've never even met them before...?

(hence the creation of the buddylist)... however, i HAVE made friends with people online in the past, and they turned out to play a pretty big role in my life. yes, i have trusted them, and they trusted me. i was there when they had family/financial issues, and vice versa. i was there when they got kicked out of the house, when they had to evacuate their town due to a fire, when they graduated, etc etc etc. we even texted each other as if we lived in the same city. i don't know if any of those would fit in your definition of friendship, but they do in mine. and of course, as in every friendship (both on&offline), there came a time when we just stopped communicating. i hear from them every now and then, and my best friend (offline) talks with them almost every day... i guess you can say we "moved on" with our separate lives. those friendships were online, but if they had been offline, it would probably have ended the same way. the point i'm trying to make is, some people believe offline + online = same thing... there just happens to be a visual boundary. |

I respect your views on friendship, I just don't agree with or understand them myself. I'm not trying to personally attack you by saying CB Social groups are weird, but it's just like I don't feel people can aptly judge someone they "know" online. I mean yeah... I don't really think social groups where they have the "Cool people" and they have drama and shit are actually that good. Okay I might admit you may have friends online, but social groups?? Online Drama?? c'mon guys..

Well if you're not close to a person that you just happen to know, then you could call him/her an acquaintance instead of friend.
