Is online friend important email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 370 out of 12,298 in friend2 months ago

For me, making new friends after I have family and kids isn't an easy job. I got some new online friends from blogging and get some from social net working website. There are important to me where some times I can share some thoughts or perhaps my problems.

Do you have any online friends. Are they important to you? Do you prefer to have online friends or real life friend?

For me, I think I would like more real life friends than online friends......

Do share your thought about online friends.

Yes they are important just like my real friends. w00t
In fact, i have more time with my online friends than my real friends cuz i didnt get to see them often. They have their own life right now and been busy working. w00t
I am online always so im more focus on my online friends and im glad i have them around. thumbup

Well, i actually like you. But the difference is, the one i spent most of my time is my real life friend whose active in the online world. I know them personally in real life, ( most of them is my friend in college ). Now that we all has our own job, we rarely meet. So we spent most of our time chatting on the net.


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 370 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Hi Kling,

True enough, most of my real life friends are busy and we can not get to chat too often. But for online friend, we can chat we we both are online.

Glad that you have online friends around so you get some one to talk with you or chat with you while you are online. How you usually chat with your online friends, by MSN, email, or you call them online?


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 370 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Hi Lord,

I get what You mean. For me, I have a real life friend, she is my secondary school mate. We were not too close when we were in the school.

After graduate from school for few years, we meet again online. She added me at Facebook and MSN as well. So happen we both are online everyday and we get to chat with each other online. We will meet up once in a month for shopping or hang out in cafe.

So I have this real life friend become my online friend now. thumbup

I have many online friends. They are important to me as they practically take the place of my real life friends whom i dont usually get to meet up with. The only problem i see with online friends is that there are more insecurities and more tests on trust. Although videocam can help solve a bit on the mystery on your chatmate, it still is somehow not enough.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (533)   ranked 2,292 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Yes, being friend with online friend is kinda trust. Some time you just cant simply trust some one u never met. Well, for me, i actually have my own rules. I only chat with them about something that i will not fear to spread out. I usually talk about general think, or about my feeling. I never talk to them about private data, security number, etc.

Hi vigyan
I know what you mean. It's difficult but happens automatically for people like us who are internet people. I love your blog and read the updates whenever I can. Apart from you, I do have some great friends. Many are part of my virtual home 'mimpidreams'. They have made me feel special in every way, Its such a bliss knowing you all. Life is different, more beautiful. Having said this, its important to maintain real relationships as well.

happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (533)   ranked 2,292 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Yes, having a friend is fun, wheter it is online or real life friend. Having some one to communicate with you and become you reguller blog reader is also a fun thing. And one thing that you should remember is, sometime we can make our online friend became our real friend if we really meet them. off course take any precaution like always meet them in a public place where there are many people, so you can ask help when they end up doing crime to you.


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 370 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Hello Mimpi,

Thanks for your response! Glad that you have great online friends around and I am happy to have you as my online friend too, happy!

For me, It is good to have a few closer online friends. I have an online friend who actually stay very near to my place. We did not know each other until we get into the internet world. Now we know we are staying so near and we might want to meet up more often if we want to.


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 370 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Hi Lord,

yeah, when we have regular visitor in our blog, we are slowly going to build a good friendship. I can see some blogger or Mylotter are actually getting meet up after they know each other better.

For me, I still haven't meet up any online friend.

True enough, we do not know online friends in real life before hence we need to be careful if we get the meet up session.

I think having online friends, is pretty good, you can talk about allsorts of things, and get advice etc.
I have friends in the real world too, although, i talk to my online friends more rasp, obviously.
I have made som lovely online friends, some, i will have for life. happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (533)   ranked 2,292 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Well many of us actually talk to online friend more than we talk with real life friend because in the office, when people actually should working, we can still chatting around with our online friend. it is most fun that way, because other will c us working, when we actually chatting. Thought when i really busy, i actually ignore many messaget that my online friend gave me.

hehe YEAH!!I have many online friends too,like some SNS websites FB,MSN live....
I like making foreign friends so that we can have a cultural exchange,or share our thoughts on the blogs,or talk about some interesting things....It's a kind of fun I think..
In my opinion,online friends is not that important,but without them,we may lose some fun....:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 370 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Hello Xiahps,

We have online friends just to have some fun of it?

It is good that you mix around with foreign online friends. It is a good way to know more on people from different countries. You can actually exchange thoughts, ideas ...
Will you visit your online friends if happen you travel abroad to their countries?


xiahps (27)   ranked 8,393 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Yeah of course if it's possible!!^^I would like to take a trip to some countries such as the States,Australia,or some euopean countries..etc..hehe

Well i do have online friend and real friend. I usually more open about my feeling and my mind to my online friend, because i know they will have an objective opinion about my view. While real life friend, thought is fun, we can be too open because usually of point of view is affect them also. But if i have to choose, i off course like real life friend better.


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 370 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Hello Lordcaocao,

Thanks for your response. I can get to see some people are getting their online friends turn to real life friends. Maybe this is because online friends come in handy where you can easily get new online friends from MSN or social net working website like FAcebook, Myspace or friendster.

Any where I will choose to have more real life friends than online friends. Glad that you like real life friends better, happy

 
7. myLot reputation of 86/100. ayebelle (203)   ranked 1,107 out of 12,298 in friend   2 months ago

Oh i have online friends, and found out that it's really hard to get real friends on net, but I've found two. We keep chatting and talking for over a year now, one of them then is my boyfriend now, I do trust him cus i know he's a good person. but i still keep my guard on. So whatever happens, i wont get hurt much.=) Hmmm they are very important to me, i learned things from them. And from chatting we are looking forward to meet each other. And i really can't wait.=)


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 370 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Hello Ayebelle,

Thanks for your response. I have a friend she get a boy friend through internet. And guess what, they have meet up, dating, and end up got married! WHat is amazing is they have 2 kids now, thumbup. They are a happy family now. Her hub is a caring and loving person. She is lucky enough to get the Mr Right.

So I kinda believe that online friend can become a real life friend. Bu of course not all the online friends can be trusted. We have to be careful when we select online friends.

Have you meet your boyfriend in person yet? How do you know both of you have fallen in LOVE? It is good you keep beware of your online boyfriend until you know him well and so to his friends and family.

Good luck and happy Mylotting!

Hi Vingyan,

I also prefer to have a real friends,but it is not easy to have a real friends.
Some friends can't be trusted and they even betrayed you one day. There is a need to have a TRUST to establish a pure friendship.

I do get to know alot of new friends when I first joined MamyPOko Forum.I even have a holiday with some of them and during my trip to Johor,I stayed at one of the mamypoko friend. They are all very nice person.Although that is our first meet-up,we can chat and get along very well.We are all first time mothers,sharing our experiences and get our kids to have more friends are pretty fun.

I do hope to meet up with some of my blogger friends in my december trip to KL.Of course, I hope can meet up with you too.


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 370 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Hi Shia,

Yeah, it is so hard to get a real friend in life, I mean a trusted friend.

Glad that you get so many new friends from MAmyPoko Forum. I do get some NEW friends through blogging.

I wish we have the time to meet up blogger mummies and of course It is my pleasure to meet you up!

 
9. myLot reputation of 62/100. carrillo_zeny (439)   ranked 8,407 out of 12,298 in friend   2 months ago

well, sort of yes. cause you will learn from them new things. like, whats in their country, their values and attitudes. though, you didnt see them in person still you can talk to them a lot see them by webcam. it has lots of fun talking to different people in different countries. you learm many things.


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 370 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Hello Carrillo,

Thanks for your response. Yeah, we learn from each other though we don't meet each other before. I have a webcam but I only use webcam to with my family and real life friends.

I still think of strange too use webcam with the person that I haven't meet in person at all. LOL. If one day my online friend give me a video call, I don't know how I will react.......

I don't think online frienship is important, but it is nice if you have a few online friends. I have some online friend, but I am not too close to them. Many people wear a mask when they work or communicate online. They don't want to reveal personal details about them and I am also a person like that. I enjoy online friendship, but with certain limitations.


myLot reputation of 99/100. vingyan06 (1251)   ranked 370 out of 12,298 in friend  2 months ago

Hello Daliaj,

Yeah, I get to know some people are just doing some hiding on their personal details so to get more online friends.. Of course we need to beware and do be more careful when choosing the online friends for yourself.

It is good to set a limitations on so far you go with your online friends. But who knows one day later some online friends could turn into your real life friends.
