Did being online friends ever work out for y'all?

As long as the jokes still click , you're okay twin. I have an online friend for like 4 or 5 years now. There were arguments and no-contact periods too, but what matters is that you enjoy each other's company. No matter how long has passed since we last talk, there is never awkwardness.   reply

girl same i used to look for an online friend only to later not really commiting to them but i guess it's just a situation of being online where the only thing that keeps you together is the internet service lmao. but im jealous of those who made it till real life though   reply

Yeah I guess it did work. Sometimes I mourn the ones that didn't last because I don't forget what we shared and how at a time we were closer than any irl, but I you need two people to tango, ig. If one stops putting in the effort it just naturally fizzles out. I have friends I met online that I have met irl as well, and that strenghtened our bond. ......   reply

No not really, my first online friend was when I was like 8 and we dated on Roblox. she blocked me because I didn’t reply to her Roblox message for an hour. And that happened with all my other online friends, we just drifted apart. But I do have one really good online friend, we’ve been friends for about 3 years. Don’t worry there’s so many......   reply

YES!! My bff of 8 years and I met on a horse game and didn’t meet irl until 2024! Now I have seen her twice in one year and we are going on vacation at the end of this month! I will also see her at Christmas and then we are taking her on a trip to Finland to meet our other online friend :3 (who we’ve known for about the same length of time as w......   2 reply

Yes!!! My online friends r my besties we met in 2019 and I love them dearly. I've met one of them irl it was awesome. We're hoping to meet up again but it's kinda hard cuz we live in different countries lol. One dayyy. Online friendships are a lot easier for me so I prefer them & put more effort into making them last.   reply

i had an online friend when i was like 14 but i got my phone taken away and lost their contact info so im sure they think i just ghosted them, i still wonder what their up to so many years later   reply

If you're enough time on the internet it really doesn't even feel like they're not there all the time tbh. I have online friends that I met on groups from like +10 years ago now, and I honestly consider them my best friends even above my offline friends, because I got those from high school and we just haven't talked much ever since then. I honestl......   reply

In my experience, no, most do not work out. I think it’s because when your online, you care less Ig? Atleast for me. Because you’ll never see them irl so you’d just be less committed and less accountability is taken. I used to have an ‘online’ friend (well… we only talked online but we lived in the same city, also, we used to go to the ......   1 reply

It's rlly complicated for me. Around 2020(?) I used to have a discord group consisting of my friend group, we lasted I think about 3 yrs before we got really busy and went our seperate ways. I'm actually friends with one of them in Instagram and we sometimes just chat and catch up, interact with eo stories/notes, but that's pretty much it. It's kin......   reply
