I Believe That Internet Friends Are Real Stories of Experiences

A friendship, to me, means that two people talk regularly, and create a connection. Whether you are on different continents or not, you've built a friendship. Whether you meet or not, you've built a friendship. Simple.

I live in Germany (American by nationality though) and I have been emailing a guy in Canada for what must be 8 months now. We have developed an extremely close friendship, and I feel I can share anything with him.  Yes, we have...

It does not matter that we may never meet. Nor does it bother me that I don't know what you look like. In fact that thought really never crosses my mind.
What matters is that we have found some common ground of understanding and a...

Just like the group states I do think my internet friends are real. They are real people with real feelings and that is the main reason for my writing this. 
I get a LOT of circle requests.  I say right on my profile page that I never...

I have been doing this internet thing since wow it just came out around 1993ish. AOL was the only provider and you paid by the minute like for your long distance. I was hooked immediately because well the main reason was I was the...

I am unsure why people don't move "internet friends" from some odd category to one for "friends." Sure, we tend to pigeonhole groups and circles of friends: work, childhood, family, casual ... and now "internet." We often seek to keep...

since i was born my parents was seperated! my mom left me with my dad ! My mom is interested only in money! when i was 14 years old she came to take me with her for the sake of money. she blackmail my dad to get money! when she get...

I learned from my first online friend to see what is ahead from an online friendship...

So I now can judge... and I can tell this thing.. My internet friends are real.

So about 2 years ago I met a girl on a teen forum. We have been friends ever since, I even considered her as my best friend. Unfortunately though lately I get this impression that things have deteriorated ever since she started trying...

Internet friends can most definitely be real. By the same token, "real life" friends can be false. Physical proximity does mean something and its nice, but it's far from everything. Any decent friendship is based upon getting along well...

Friendship is one of the single most important things you will have in your life. To have a good friend is to have something so valuable it is beyond replacement.

I am fortunate. I have a friend. A good friend. A friend so...

Since April of 07 I've been making friends on EP. I always used to say that if your lucky, you can count your friends on your left hand on the day you die.There is a friend that is closer than a brother. I don't know how many of my EP...

If I had you as a friend on here I consider you a real life friend.

If your a real life friend I don't consider it necessary to add you on here.

That's why my friend count on here has the intention of staying very very low. That's...

My circle are my real friends. I would much rather sit and spend time with you all than speak with anyone I know outside of EP. So I consider my friends real friends and each one of you make me smile or laugh or think a certain way on a...

Yes, indeed. It may be silly and naive of me to do so, but I am my genuine self online. If anything, I'm more outspoken... masked by the internet, but that doesn't change the fact that I am honest with the people I meet here.  The...

Sometimes, I feel a little closer to my online friends than my physically closer ones. Not because I value them more, but because it's a little easier to talk to them. I may not talk to them as much, but when I do, I feel just as good...

You are all the friends I have. All the rest have moved to other parts of the country or died. I hope you are real.

So how are you doing my friend? :)

I've hear people argue this....Saying 'internet' friends aren't 'real'. Really? Take me for example. After all of my 'stuff' happened, I moved to a new town where I know no one. Now I am slowly meeting people here, but that's not the...

My EP friends have brought me so much joy. This place makes me happy. I have such great friends here. You have listened to me when I am down, you have taught me so many things. Most of all, you make me smile.

My family, my friends...
