I have been talking to my daughter a lot recently about friendships. I believe you should be yourself around a friend and true friends never judge you, but just accept you the way you are.
I have also been thinking about people here that I see of as friends have been talking to them for about a year, and I would trust them not to repeat some personal things I have told them.
I only have 3 people here I would treat that way.
When talking to them on this subject, one said they are only words on a page.
The other said he doesn't care what people think of him, I then said I would only feel upset if someone here I see as a friend took something I said the wrong way.
I do believe a lot of people don't really see us as real people with real feelings at times.
But I hope the couple of friends I feel I have made see me as a real person, as I see them as such.
What to you means friendship?
Can you make friends in cyber space?
Can anyone here really be trusted?
Have you made friends in cyber and then been let down?
Am I just being naïve in thinking people in cyber can really be a friend?

Can you make friends in cyber space?
yes you can, and I hve....people i would trust with my kids lives.....obviously not just after a 10 minute chat on facebook or in the chat rooms here, but yes I think its entirely possible to do that!
But like forming a friendship with a penpal whom you have written to for ages I think. Loads of people did that in the past and formed lifelong friendships via paper and pen.....this is just a quicker way.

As well as those I've met in person I also have people who I've never met except in Cyber-Space who I've been in touch with for years, some from this 'meet' people you'd have never met Bonedigger says it isn't from just 10 minutes on Facebook or the chatroom with someone who appears to be nice, but built on hours and hours of contact over a prolonged period of time.

I've made a few very good friends online, a couple from this site too. I actually met a guy online ( from a totally different site ) we dated for a short time but decided we weren't right for each other butehe's become my best friend because of it and has been such a great help recently.
You can make friends through any medium whether it's online or in the 'real' world. People are the same everywhere - they either stay true to their word and stick by you ( as has happened with a few friends in my life ) or they show their true colours and let you down big time ( which has also happened )

We have made alot of friends though SH and other web sites.
I believe a good friend will love just as you are and not try to change you but the true test of a friendship is the time you spend away from one another.
For example I have a friend from Bladford and I only see her once maybe twice a year but when I go see her its like we had just saw each other last week where by I have a friend who lives up the road and we have not seen each other for about a week and its weired seeing and talking to her so I think I now class her as someone I know not a friend.
So yes you can make friends in the world of www but a good friend will always be hard to find.

I think we have different friendships at different times in our lives and that some are 'better' friendships than others.
I think you can make friends online, yes. How long the friendships last and how deep they go, is another matter.
Trust - I don't know. I can't see any difference between here or the 'real' world; for this generation and subsequent ones, this is the 'real' world, after all.
Yes, made friends and been let down. Had the friendship thrown back at me, but hey - life goes on.
I don't think you're being naive, Minx.

Yes it is possible to make friends online.
I have a friend who I met online and have known her and her family for about 7 years now. We see each other every week and have even had holidays together.
We have actually gone through some tough times together but have always had each others shoulders to cry on. I trust my instincts where people are concerned and I dont trust easily but you just know when something is right or at least I do.

Yep, I agree with Freckledbird.
As I have got older, I sometimes wonder where adults actually do make friends. When you are younger you seem to collect friends almost by default - school, college, uni, sports clubs or extra curricular stuff like dancing or gym.
When you grow up, it seems to me that your window for friend-making shrinks. Yes, I have colleagues who I enjoy being in the company of, but I wouldn't call us friends.
I choose to use this site and I choose to use it in several ways. One - obviously - is to meet like minded adults and to have sex with them. I also choose to use the forums, chatrooms and go to Munches and other social events organised via the site. That's the bit of SH that I wasn't expecting. I came looking for sexual experiences, I didn't expect to find friends.
I have made friends though, many of whom have now crossed over into 'real life' (for want of a better term) and by that I mean I care about them, know they care about me and enjoy their company in real time and in cyber space.
Then there are my forum friends... that's all of you who I interact with on here. Who I would class myself as being more than casual acquaintances... let's face it - this is kinda like our cyber 'local' and we're all regulars, on nodding or speaking terms!
But yes, you can definitely make friends. I've made friends on here that I hope will be in my life for a long time. But, like anywhere, you have to exercise judgement and caution.
This may not be 'real life' according to some, but I treat people as if it is... respectfully but at a distance, until I get to know them.
Bugger... that all made sense in my head!

I was just thinking about this very subject the other day.
How I class people on here as "Friends" and yet there is no way that I will ever get to meet them face to face, mostly because of the mileage involved but also cos I'm an ugly wee fecker
I would like to think that I am a good judge of character and that their personality comes across thro the forums or thro chatting to them.
It's funny how most of the time I can take an instant liking or disliking to someone just because of how they post in the forum or conduct themselves in the chat rooms.
I have met some of the people who I would class as friends thro the various socials I have been lucky enough to attend but there are still lots of people I would love to meet but probably never will
Ach well such is life :lol:

Nola a great post, I totally agree with everything you have written. What you have written here is exactly my thoughts too.
Minx x
Yes you can make friends online. I've done so. I've got to know quite a few people via here. There are a few people I would class as good pals (one I've not even met yet but I trust her with everything).
There are some I would class as acquaintences because I don't know them that well enough to class them as pals and there are a few I've relegated to the 'acquaintences' department because I feel they weren't who I thought they were, which is sad.
Like FB said, shit happens, you trust, you get let down, you learn from that and move on.

I I totally agree with everything you have written. IF you make a friend here or any were else treat them the way you would expect to be treated if they throw that friendship back move on dont give them another thought there not the friend u throws allso at us .friends should throw love trust and respect.
I have a great friend I met in an US chat room 10 yrs ago who became my one true friend in real life - I would do anything for her and she I. We will never ever lose touch with one another no matter what happens in our lives.
I have many on-line acquaintances - a few cross into real life. Of these I am probably close to two - one I tell everything - warts an all - and I'm truly thankful for those friendships.
It does take me a long time to make friends - I'm quite reserved, aloof and quite wary and don't give friendship easily. Those that earn it - are worthy of it.
Only one person let me down big time and really showed what was underneath the pretend persona that other people see - once they have crossed that line there is no coming back and I'm sure that feeling is returned twofold. I'm extremely easy going but once deceived I turn into head swizzling evil witch, I make no pretence on that one :? Now where's me newts, I have work to do :giggle:

Yes it is. I'm marrying one of mine!
*Him* & I first met online about 8 years ago. We were both with someone else and purely just friends at that point. We drifted apart then a few years later bumped into one another in a random chatroom, the rest as they say .......
There are a few people I've met online - both here and a few other places that I consider 'real friends' some of them are coming to our wedding. It's a great way to get to know people in this day & age, particularly if you work long hours / are really busy / have a family.
