Hi Boys and Girls
Its my first discussion i wanted to start here, i dont about mylot much but any way one of my friends recommend it so i am starting it.
My point is that it was saying "FRIEND is FRIEND" is it still valid. Are net friends are like real friend? or is there any differnt ib Both?
would love to get more comments on it

net friends could be real friends, i think.
but most of the time, people chat with so called "friends" on net just bcz they are boring or lonly, and you find that you don't share anything in common with him\her. and the most uncomfortable thing is that some people keep saying that we are friends on the first time he talked to you, i mean, we don't even know each other, how can you say that we are friends?

Well, u r right, but i think main factor which is missing is TRUST, i wont say sincerity as u might be sincere but TRUST, its hard to have on net friendship

This is a subject that I have been thinking of since morning and I happened to see this old discussion of yours. Sometimes it does happen that you meet someone online and you start liking that person. It may be for the way that person interacts with you. There can be no physical attraction because mostly internet friends have not seen each other. But the question at the back of one's mind is how much to trust the other person. In these friendships if both the concerned people want the friendship to last they should sense the others likes an dislikes and not talk about matters that hurt the other person or what the other person does not like. I have seen these kind of friendships growing with people for many many years. I too have lately made a lot of online friends but there are some who have hurt me in some way. But still I treasure most of my online friends and they are almost like real friends for me and I care a lot for them.

Hi Dear
thanks for commenting on an very Old but sure one of my favorite discussion.
Online Friends are just like real friend, i would say rather more close as u interact with them daily, which i am sure not the case with ur friends around U( physically) And trust me u can be more open to them,
i wont say u start trusting them easily but with passage of time if they keep on with u, and mingle up with u, i am sure u exchange pics share number talk to each other, only left is physical meeting which is not that NECESSARY. So i take and consider all as my REAL FRIENDS.
I just like to add if u have suspicious at back of ur mind then u cant be a good friend to any one either its Real Friendship or online, as Trust and sincerity is base of ANY Relation, if u don’t have it, how u think building on it will be Solid, little misunderstanding can rupture it.
Trust, understanding, sincerity and tolerance to bear each other is Crux of every relation. some times if they talk against u just bear it, and some times u talk other way he/she should bear it as no one is perfect on world and u have to accept ur friends as they are with all bad and good qualities.
I really appreciate that u care about ur online friend as real, and that’s Great
Keep it Up
Take care

If I could mark a best response for all the replies that I have got for my responses till date I think this would be the one. Its just that this topic was on my mind since morning and I happened to see the same topic in your discussion. It was as if I was getting some replies to what was in my mind. Its true there is a lot of tolerance and trust needed in this kind of friendship. But sometimes when you hear all kind of stories around one wonders how much online friends can be trusted. But its true I give my personal details like my phone numbers etc only to those whom I trust and those are very few. Yes I do care a lot for my online friends and do not want to loose them. Thanks a lot for your reply which has actually replied to some questions that were on my mind for the past one day.

You are newbei here, I do not know how much you have interacted with others on net, besides mylot.
Net friends could be more than real life friends, when you interact here on mylot, you will come to know and experience about it.

I believe if both parties are honest, s net friendship can be a real friendship. I have a group of friends that I have been talking to online since 1998. There is party every summer for who ever can make it. Nobody knew each other "in real life" before we "met" in an expecting monther message board online.

Very true Dana, Honesty and soncerity are pillars on which u can construct any thing u want to. I do have friends since 7-8 yrs as well, i talked to them over phone but have not met them yet.
So u arrange part every summer of net friends, thats kool idea so u meet personally and have fun, good idea.
Thanks for coments

Hi Cupid, Sorry for late response, only a year late LOL. I have made some very good friends since being here at myLot and have in fact met two of them in life now and yes I do believe that virtual friends can become true real friends. They are there for you the same as a friend in life would be and I think that it is lovely, they can lift you up with kinds words and share different emotions with you too and feel for you just the same. Ellie :D

You should of said hola chicas and chicos haha.
This is your first here on the lot , so I figured I would comment you .
I believe a friend is a friend , and overtime all good things grow . The way I look at things is you either have a connection with someone , or you dont . I met my best friend Kristi on myspace a few years ago , and she is one of the best things that ever happend to me , and sometimes I dont know how I ever did without such a true friend . In the past I have been hurt by my friends , and that is hard . Anyway xoxooxox to you !!
Peace

I like both of them. If you have limited no. of people around you and you don't have enough friends among them then you can even look for people of your mentality on internet. You can make good friends even on ineternet. It takes time to make good friends on internet but I have made many new friends on internet so I can say from my experience that you can make good friends on internet. The only thing that matters is that you have to talk relevant and don't hurt anyone's feelings in order to have fun. This is truly speaking not required in any relationship. so have happy times making friends specially on internet.
