Internet friends
There are some people that are better at being friends online than offline. When they meet offline, there is just not much to say to each other and many awkward situations arises. They just connect more online, than offline. Some people say that its the curse of the internet and social networking, but sometimes, the barrier of the internet just makes it a less judgmental world.
Like, you can be whatever you want on the internet. Scary, but sometimes, it helps people with low self esteem to make lasting friendships with other people on the internet. I have many friends I consider, only can be friends on the internet because we just don’t have that chemistry to be friends in real life.
Sometimes, I read people’s blogs and what nots, I feel connected to them, but somehow, meeting them in real life, its either we can click or not. If yes, then awesome lah, but if not, very very awkward wan lor. But society places so many different “classes” on people. Which becomes such a barrier too. Like the people we hang out with in real life, the different cliques, the clothes we wear, everything creates such a difference in real life, but when online, we’re all just a nickname and a person to discover.
Do you feel the same way too?
