Online friends , are they Real or Fake??????

virtualmirage . . I have been online for over 10 years and I have made some wonderful friends from all over. . some I have met in person and some I havent. That doesn't make them any less of a friend to me .. for we have shared so many things together even if it is only here on line .. When making friends anywhere remember that not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. Its amazing what you can accomplish when you let go or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not going anywhere relationships. Observe the relationships around you (be it in person or on line). Pay attention to which ones lift and which ones lean . . which one encourages and which one discourages you. Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and ones take you downhill . . When you leave certain people do you feel better or worse . . which ones always have drama or don't really understand you, know you or appreciate you . . The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life....

It's possible to make real friends online, but most of the time it's just two bored people keeping each other entertained. I've met someone in real life that I originally met online. And a few others that I talk to over the phone. Once upon a time, I was a moderator for a website, which made me 'popular', yet they seemed to end any interest in me once the site went down. But the hundreds of temporary acquaintances were worth the 4 or 5 really good friends.

well i still believe that you can have online friends but it is harder than finding friends in real life. online friendship is i think give and take relationship and not a real friendship

Hi, I have met lots of friends on the internet. Some of them became my close friends in my real life. I think only use your heart to meke friends, you can make the real friends.~Have a nice day~ and good friendships~!

I think it possible to make good friends online.but there are some swindlers.So we have to learn to protect ourselves.You should confirm his identity.For example.you can chat each other through video.so you can understand him or her.I wish you can make real friends on the Internet.

I know online ppl can be a "bit" weird and insecure at times, but I've gotten so many really good friends online, so I can't complain. I have a ex-girlfriend, to whom I have a very good relationship right now, who I met online. Also I have a few friends I meet like every week, who I met on internet!

I have been online almost 10 years now. I have many, many friends online from all over the world. I have met many of them personally and hope to meet some who are much further away inthe future too. I feel that here on myLot over time you can make some real friends. Getting to know each other through the discussions here and then off the Lot too and being sincere with those you 'feel' are also doing so with you can only lead to happy long term friendships. Not always will we make the right choices but the majority of people I have 'met' and become friends with here are definately real. I hope your travels here will be fun and enjoyable and tat you will also make lots of new friends too. Good luck!

I think it is possible. But it depends on the situation. For example, if you meet someone online who is a total stranger and is someone who you are never likely to meet and they dont have webcam or anything.. i think i would be quite suspicious now that they wernt who they said they were. But if for example a friend intoduces you to one of their friends who you have never met and only talk to on the internet i think it is far more easy to start a friendship. Or someone who has proved to you that they are who they say they are somehow. Im not saying you should interigate every single person who you have never met, just i think a lot of people do lie or twist situations and every one should be careful.

I made some good online friends all of them are boys because as soon as I enter into chat room one by one pings me up. if I find that person is good enough to do online friendship then i'll add him to my contact list and we are still in touch, some of them are working abroad and some of them are here in my country but they stay in different states. I met these guys on yahoo chat 3 years back and they are all still in touch with me. :)

hey now I resemble that last remark..... Just kidding of course, I've been in the same situation, make alot of friends only to find that some of them are actualy 5 or 6 people on your friend list. I consider myself lucky to have the 2 REAL online friends I have, at the moment they are the only 2 people online I trust with my real world phone # and adress. One of them I talk to daily and joke around with about starting a band with her son as the singer, the other doesnt get on as much but I can text anytime and get a reply or a call back. It's not allways easy to weed through the bad ones, but well worth it to find the ones you really connect with and enjoy spending online time talking to.

I have been online for almost 4 years now. I have found that most of the online friends are fake and can't believe them. I too have few good online friends. But, it was very difficult for me to find the few.
