Internet friends
-
I have met some internet friends through hobbies etc etc.
I wonder why so many of them have such a fcked up attitude.I dont even keep in contact with 3/4 of them already cause they suck.But on the other hand school friends are better.LOL

Just a word of caution
Be very careful when it comes to making friends -
most net people just curious to meet the person behind the nic. Once the freshness wears off, seriously, they are not interested to make friends...
-
since the days of irc, i dun really have any internet friends.
-
x2. most of them aren't reli serious about it anyway.
-
internet frens are alright, as long as you dont go and meet them. really... dont meet them.

Hahaha
Perhaps the problem lies with u. -

i have a lot. and yes, tend to seperate them. and noe too much no good, no time for them also, they also busy, so end of the year have chalet.
still remember we had this super big chalet group, almost 100 ppl turned up from 4 irc channels, even though they closed down liao. can see the ppl dun mingle too much beyond their group also. and we tried to squeeze 16 overnight after the tiring bbq.
and quite a few became my rl frens also.... and many are second-degree frens, means u dun noe them online initially but u go for outing with ur net fren's fren and noe them~

Can you be my friend?

internet frenz are ok, afew are my ex-s. but it reli depend on luck. if u r lucky, u meet good ones which can be real frenz but some r creatures, so to say.
but i think im lucky enough to met those great ple. -
the people i know on the internet are just people i talk to until i get to know them personally...
then i'll see if they will be considered as friends or not. -
Friends from school or for that matter, a real physical place of meeting, is very different from the ones you make on the net. For me internet friends only come together by that very same interest of the virtual environment that you met each other, be it games or some chat channel or what. Once that interest dies off, you find very few other things to really sustain the friendship. Real life friends are formed through long periods of being together in the same physical space, and sometimes inevitably you will be forced to experience many varied things together, and hence the bonding between these friends will be stronger than those of the virtual environment. You'd have more common collective memories and it'd be easier for "real life" friends to do things together or sustain the friendship, coz your friendship with these people are not just bounded by one single interest. Thats just IMO, haha.
Internet friendship, except in some cases, tend to be rather frivolous and fragile, and often rather superficial. -
quite true. but for me, being a scout, i tend to make friends over the net who are also scouts or guides, so there's a common interest there. so nth unsafe about. and i've actually met quite a number of them in campfires and camps and can mingle quite well for the fact that we're bonded in someway alr being in the same organisation. so, while making friends over the net can be risky, by getting the method right, u can get urself a true friend.Originally posted by elasticplastic:Friends from school or for that matter, a real physical place of meeting, is very different from the ones you make on the net.
