Friendship on internet  |
|
 Through a lot of sites - one of them mylot - we make friends. There are some friends we get quite attached to. But how much would you share your secrets with an online friend. How much would you trust them? Is there any attachment or love you share with any online friend? Is it safe to be trusting these friends? Or falling in love with them?

1.  subha12 (12608) | 3 months ago |  that is one thing i avoid. its very bad to share your secrets., they can exploit it any way. I do not share those. i can't too much on virtual things. when real life friendship does not work always, what to say.

 mayka123 (1533) | 3 months ago | I agree that one should not share secrets with online friends. But online friendships last longer because there are no fights. Unless there are online fights which would be rare. | |

| TantrooM (52) | 3 months ago |  Fights are either 'rare' or their are 'none', they cannot be both.
As for my experiences, it just seems you haven't been on the internet enough. Which is probably a good thing, because that means you have a life. Trust me, friends can have fights online, I have seen some ugly ones, and I myself had a major one with a friend of three years. We haven't spoken in 1.5 years, basically he got a new friend, the new friend didn't like me. He told me that he didn't like me, I said his new friend should have told me this and not talk to me through him.
He also caught the WoW virus and turned the room which was about another topic into a WoW chatroom. As nerdy as I am seeing all these "4 sgth 4 stem lther blt"s and other such linguistically shorthands is frustrating when you're not 'in'. They might as well have both spoke Greek (the room only had us 3, so it was like they were speaking in a language I couldn't understand just for jest. They could have took it to IM.) I could have overreacted when I complained about the WoWspam, eventually things escalated until I was kicked out of the little room. After a bunch of nonsense following, a week of attempting to patch things up which only made them worse, it was not worth my energy.
So, my guess is that you're still new to online relationships, they can fail just as IRL ones can.

| sivanj (392) | 3 months ago |  thats a view i agree. it is good to have friends with whom we can share. but lets not forget that these are people who are not in front of our eyes. just because we send a few mails or just because we chat with them, we can't tend to get carried away and start giving personal information. there are chancs that these can be misused.
internet is a great revolution in bringing people and cultures togather. but lets be a bit cautious and make it a better place or else it may turn into a bitter place.

| 3. Nonnymouse (405) | 3 months ago |  Online friends are very nice, but mostly you will never get to know them properly. In real life, you might make only three or four true friends whom you believe to be totally trustworthy. Even so, I am a firm believer in never ever telling a secret to anyone. Once you do that it is no longer a secret is it?
| |
| |
|
|
| mayka123 (1533) | 3 months ago | Yes I agree that once something is told to someone it is no longer a secret. But then I would say what about sharing facts of your life with people online. Sometimes while exchanging emails we do get a bit more attached to some people and then is it good to share our life with them? | |

| mayka123 (1533) | 3 months ago | Yes I agree that many people dont trust online friends. In fact this is the advise I was given today by my close friends and that is why I started this discussion. It is good you have kept up your friendship for two years. Good luck and happy posting. | |

| 5. nini89 (146) | 3 months ago | Dear friend I have started making friendship through mylot only from this month and i have learned it from you how to make friends. As far as my opinion we should not be love with the online friends. Take it as only a timepass and for making leisure of the wasting time. I am unable to give you a right answer to your queries. This mylotting we have started for making money while we are sitting idle and having a good discussions. Happy posting and take care that you dont fall in love with anyon. | |
| |
|
|
| mayka123 (1533) | 3 months ago | Yes a lot of peopl say you should not be in love with online friends. As for me - dont worry I will not make that mistake. My heart is in its place - I will make sure it does not go to anyone through the internet at least. Thanks a lot for your response and happy posting. | |

| 6. cupid74 (3539) | 3 months ago |  Hmmmm

All i can say that Online friends are Just like Real friends and time can testify them/

Take care
Link of discussion if u want to read more

|
|
|
| mayka123 (1533) | 3 months ago | Yes I think I too had posted a reply to that discussion. But that does not give a reply to my question - that is how much attachment and affection should be there for such online friends ..... and where should the boundry line be put for such friends. | |
|
|
| cupid74 (3539) | 3 months ago | Yeah i know u have replied their
Well i TOLD u FRIEND is FRIEND
and i believe its not one to decide to draw boundries, With Time Relation grows and expand and it sets its own limitation, rules and boundries
their is no set criteria for that, so Let TIME and LOYAKLITY define it
Take care | |
|
|
| mayka123 (1533) | 3 months ago | HHhmmmmm. Thanks a lot for your response. | |
|
|
| cupid74 (3539) | 3 months ago | U r welcome Mayka
Take care | |
|
|
| mayka123 (1533) | 3 weeks ago | Loyalty is something which I dont see at all now. | |
|
|
| cupid74 (3539) | 3 weeks ago | Hmmmmmm
it can be true in Most of cases but not in all cases
World is still beautiful and relations are trustworthy as still LOYALITY and SINERITY EXISTS
Take care | |

7.  ANTIQUELADY (2574) | 3 months ago | i think internet friendships are great.it gives you someone to talk to & it's alot of company to me, as for falling in love i don't think so for myself anyway. i did a bad enough picking out in person the 2 husbands i had, would hate to see what i got online. lol | |
| |
|
|
| mayka123 (1533) | 3 months ago | I too enjoy friendship and like when I have someone to talk to. And this medium has been great for me. But cant figure out how these friends would turn out to be later. | |

| 8. guybrush (1646) | 3 months ago |  I think we can make very good friends on the internet - I've made one in particular with whom I'd definitely share my secrets, and I feel as if I know her personally though we've never met. I think you can tell after a while whether you'd trust someone or not - and as I'm a very suspicious person, alarm bells go off pretty quickly if I feel someone's not genuine. As for falling in love on the net ... can't really comment on that because I'm not looking for that kind of relationship!
| |
| |
|
|
| mayka123 (1533) | 3 months ago | I too would very much like to agree with what u are saying. But sometimes we hear scary stories in the news thats frightening. | |
|
|
| guybrush (1646) | 3 months ago | Yes, I do think we have to be very, very careful. And make sure our children are, especially. We should certainly never give out home addresses or phone details.
| |
|
|
| mayka123 (1533) | 3 months ago | Yes I agree with you that we should teach the kids not to give out personal information. And congratulations on completing 1000 posts. | |

| 9. bestre (1462) | 3 months ago |  I am not in favor of falling in love online which as I've said often is subject to exceptions.
But with regards to friends, there is a possibility. For one, I have contacted one friend here in mylot to help me in my trip this coming september. She offered to check me out in the airport upon arrival which I am so happy because I do worry about this trip so much because I am not familiar with the place. I hope it will be okay.
Happy mylotting!

|
| mayka123 (1533) | 3 months ago | Thanks a lot for your response. Yes we do meet some people who turn out to be very good and helpful. Its good that you could get a friend to help you on your trip. | |

| 10. Piscesmoon (1349) | 3 months ago |  A couple of years ago, I made a very good online friend and, although we have never met in person, our friendship means a lot to me. Through our daily emails and photos, common interests and sharing our family events and dramas, we know each other well. She probably knows more about me than any one person knows and I know anything I tell her, is safe. She gives great advice, lends a willing ear when I need to vent, is non-judgmental and makes me see the humour when life isn't quite going to plan. In some internet friendships, we share honestly because we know the other person doesn't really know who we are and we are "safe" but, in the case of this particular friendship, I am sure I would feel just as safe sharing with her in person because, although our friendship came about because of technology, it is real. I hope the day will come when we can meet up for a meal and a good laugh and a talk that doesn't involve keystrokes.

|
| mayka123 (1533) | 3 months ago | Thats great. I do hope the two of you meet and when that happens I would like to know more about that meeting. Okay? | |
