 | 2:15 PM - Can you truly be friends with someone you never actually met in person? I have always believed you could be. I have friends online I met in 94 and we are still friends to this day. Yet, I find that its so very hard to understand each other when you just communicate on the internet only.
Like, sometimes someone might ask me something. I am in the middle of something so I just answer and go back to what I am doing. Because I didnt type out some LONG answer or put some HAHAs or LOLs in there, they now think that I am upset. That can be no further from the truth. Yet if we were face to face or even on the phone they could see that. Then know when I type like that, what I truly mean
This happens to me from others also. Especially my foreign friends. So how can one truly know each other without spending hours and years together online? I do believe that some I have NEVER met know me better then myself at times. Yet there are some that I might idle in same channel on IRC for 5 years , but our schedules dont allow constant banter. So although yes , I can say I knew this person 5 years, we really dont know each other
I wonder...can you TRULY be real friends with someone you never actualy met irl, hmmm
