some of my friends often talk about this issue. In my opinion, i prefer to friends around me, but it still depends on situations. For exmple, i was always friendly to one of my friend, but what revolted me is his petty and he always difame me behind me. when i heard the words he difamed me from my another friend, i was extremely disappointed! whereas, i made the accuaintance with an e-friend for 5 years. we kept no secrets from each other.when she is upset, i can comfort her, while i am upset, she can also give me some suggestions.

definitely the friend around you would always be a better one the e-net friend u have never met and cannot be trusted but those around you, u can tell what they feel.

I agree that it depends on the situation. My frieds around me are more trusted for me. The fact that you're with them personally and talk with them face to face and that could be the good reason to support my view. I think it's a nature of individual that they somehow talk about you, difame you, I mean. The time that you are with each other should be considered. I have a friend, e-friend. It's been three years already. I really can trust her, for some other things. I never met her ever since so there are some other things that she didn't know about me.

Hi,there! I think it's hard to say which one is more reliable. It really varies pretty much. I have some close friends around me and we share a lot of things with each other.I would say I can really trust them. I've also got some this kind e-friends. We share opinions,we give each other suggestions and advice. We help each other to solve problems. I do also have some friends in the real life that I can't trust as well as online. It really depends on your friends themselves and our attitudes towards them:) Thanks for the discussion and have a good day!

Well it depends on the level of closeness the efriend is . Generally I would say it is always better to trust a friend around you .

actually, it isn't a problem. which one more trusted depend on you almost. if you treat them trusted, they will trust to you, whoever is e-friend or friend.

It can be hard to really someone at times. You may think you know them, but then something may happen and they become someone you never knew. It is weird how things can work like that sometimes. You learn who your friends are through tough situations and sometimes the friendship does not make it. Though you do end up learning about yourself more and what you will put up with when it comes to friends in the end.

I'm always wary of e friends because we have no way of knowing what the truth is and what is made up. Anyone can say they are a doctor or whatever they want to be. Real life friends can't hide or make up what they are.

My Friend, You cannot predict who is more trusted e-friends or friends around you. It is all about luck only. Like, If you feel that he/she is your good friend and will even die for me, but when the things are comming you may surprised about the good friend, I am experienced. In my opinion we can find out our best friends, Best Friend is always your parents, then your life partner above all we are the best friend of ourselves.
