virtual friendship.....Vs.. practical....how comfortable you are??

yeah we all try to keep our personal life apart from whole world. We always want to show us superior in front of others. Our lacking, faults, secrets, insecurities remind our weakness and at this point our ego force us to wrap our very personal matter inside our heart. But when it is virtual, there is no feelings of being caught, insulted, teased, so we feel so free to share what we kept safe inside us and actually we love to share everything, when we can't do it, we feel so helpless and a virtual friend act as a remedy in this case... Thank you sweetie for your response. I believe you are sincere in friendship..I know how a introverted person think..Human being are born to be social. We are not out of it. We just can't express it as it should be. So as time goes we become lonely and create our own world of imagination where we have everything, we have friends, person we love, everything we want. We pass our time with these characters hours after hours in our imagination. For some people it is conscious, others do it unconsciously. But the whole idea is being loved, cared, surrounded by people we want or desired to be when we need support and help and comfort. Internet, chating, social networking sites works like our world of imagination, the difference is only, in our imagination we play all the roll of our own, we decide what to say according to what we want to hear, we share things with our virtual character....but in the virtual world of internet, chat room, social networking sites, we find the alternative of our imagination. It's pretty easy to communicate, better to discuss, here we can get rid of personal conflicts and clashes. getting helps from others increase our confidence, reduce frustrations and share the load of our hearts with someone we think so close...its really amazing..isn't it.. It also help being social in real life..cheers friend!!

I can understand you situation. I have some cousin who particularly have no real friends as my uncle has transfer job. Online friends seems so easy going, not complex, understanding. That's why I also prefer them but offline friends always special in some sense. Actually I think we shouldn't compare between online and offline. After reading all the post I got a sense that all friendship has something unique and all are so valuable and important. We need real friends as well as virtual friends...there is no alternatives and no one can fulfill all the needs.

yeah...thanks for your understanding..I also found out that online friends have very little expectations over us thats why maintaining relation with them is much more easier and burden free than a real friend. Because in reality we are very fond of showing off. My real friends wants special attention from me, they always want me to wish them in every occasions. I'm not saying it's bad but isn't not always possible for me to remember all their events. But I may forget right! and I can expect to get consideration but I never get it and they become very mad at me. I can't handle it nicely. Online friends are so understanding, may be because they also don't expect much from me, so they don't take it seriously.
