Where can I make new friends online?
I recommend the Pen Pals app. It’s a very friendly community and completely free. Keep in mind it’s all about how you present yourself or write to people. So far I’ve talked to people from 20 different countries.Pen Pals - Meet New People on the App StorePen Pals® - Meet New People - Android Apps on Google Play
I need online otaku friends?
Hey there! Haha, I feel you, none of my friends are into anime at all and the people that are into it judge me for being a girl and declare that I can't watch anime, trololol. Online friends are the best though! I've honestly met some of the best people through tumblr & youtube. For tumblr, a lot of the people there are reaaally friendly, just send them a "hi" or respond to a text post and you can easily befriend them. Same for youtube, I made an anime youtube account and I met so many amazing people on there. l hope you can make some online friends! Oh, and I'll be your friend hehe ~＼（＠￣∇￣＠）／
Is it ok to have friends from online?
Perfectly okay.I have and am still making friends I’ve met online on various social platforms. While most will argue that virtual friends are not real people, the truth is that if the perceived friendship is indiscernible from what you have in real life, it is probably as real as it gets.That said, the only kind of online friends that I personally find acceptable are those with common interests. Say you’re really interested in astronomy but you can’t find anyone to discuss with then you might want to join an online forum and chat up other like-minded folks. If the conversation goes really well then migrate to more personal platforms like Facebook or Whatsapp. It takes a bit of intuition and fact-finding to ensure that the 20 year old female you’re adding on Facebook isn’t a bot or a 55 year old paedophile.While most people feel the need to cement their friendship based on real social interactions, I’m comfortable with calling people I’ve met online friends as long as there’s a mutual exchange of ideas. Sometimes it bugs me that I can’t meet some of them but it’s also comforting to know that there are people who are like-minded out there.However, I would caution those who seek friends online only because they are socially insecure or lonely. Using online platforms as an avenue for friendship does not solve the your problems and it might just make it worse. We all live in the real world and it’s better to learn to tackle your issues head on than escape them.
How do you find new friends online?
Even I wondered the same thing few months back. I really wanted to try out something new through online platform. Good to know I am not alone.Making friends in-person can be really overwhelming, especially when you’re an introvert like me.But online friendships are easily made and actually might last lifelong. It’s not necessary to meet them personally, as long as you ‘click’ with them.Personally I feel online friends are the best, you don’t have to impress them in any way, they won’t judge you by your appearance and speaking to them is much easier. This blog by Huffingtonpost confirms my claim.I would say get a dedicated app that is geared towards online friendships. As for my personal experience, I was browsing through social media and I found out about Findmate.I just looked through it and before I know it I was fanatical about it. I made some amazing friends on there within just few days. It’s quite safe, because you don’t have to converse with total weirdos or strangers, but people in and around your location. You’ll know what I am on about once you look through the app. Good luck!
Is it Weird To Have Online Friends?
I've had online friends for more than five years now. We all met through writing or gaming online, just as people who needed someone to play with - but quickly it turned into something more and now we're all actually pretty good friends. We talk everyday. However, my family and some of my real life friends do not think so and they were none the wiser to my online life. Until last year my online friends and I had never talked to each other vocally and then we finally decided it was time and we Skyped, even had a chat on webcam with a couple of them once. From hearing me talking in my room, my family soon realized I had friends I wasn't telling them about. Needless to say, they disapproved greatly when I told them who I was speaking to. Since then, my family has laughed at me and teased me about my online friends. I try to keep the subject away if I can because I get so upset when they make fun of me. Then tonight something bad happened. I spent the evening playing games and having dinner with my sisters but did not have a way to get ahold of my friend to tell her I would be online late due to my phone dying. I should have known better (my friend has some anxiety issues) and to my horror she had messaged all my sisters and my mom on Facebook asking if they could get ahold of me for her. She even got one of their phone numbers through one of my family members. The whole thing freaked out my sisters (they think everyone online is psycho and this didn't exactly change their minds) and it made me a little upset that she went to those lengths to contact me, because for the rest of the night all I heard was ridicule on me. I love my online friends but is it really so bad have them? Why does everyone have to make fun of you for it, and force me to keep it such a secret (as best I can)?
Do you have more online friends than you do in "real life", and if so how has that affected your personality?
Now that you mention it, yes, I do have more online friends then I do in real life. Sometimes, when you meet someone on a casual or business level, this acquaintance will say, “If your on Facebook, I’ll send you a friend request.“ Then, what happens is that you don’t really particularly care about what’s going on in their life, but you’ll feel obligated to re-acknowledge them and make little comments here and there because you feel guilty if you’re not acknowledging them. I don’t know why that happens but I think a lot of people feel that way.A lot of those people are not friends there just obligations. Those people have nothing to do with your real friends or family, they’re just there. That’s one of the things that’s very unfortunate in this cyber world that we live in. Most of the time (but I wouldn’t say all of the time) you really don’t have “Friendships“ with those acquaintances. They are in a class of their own. Quite frankly, I find it all to be a pain in the neck. But there are people out there who really have nothing else to do and it becomes a very important part of their day. That’s OK, if it fills an empty space.To answer the other part of the question, it hasn’t changed me one iota nor has it affected me except that there are times when social media irritates me because at fosters a feeling of obligation. I still have the same number of very close friends whom I am in contact with regularly either in person or by phone, and those are the people that really count. To some degree, between social media, cell phones and instant shopping gratification, it has taken it’s toll on the young people being unable to know how to form meaningful relationships. But that’s a whole other subject.
How i can get alot of online friends?
You can take everybody else's advice and visit the Chat Rooms, get a free MySpace account, there's also Hi5 and some other forum called Friendster, so those are all places where you can meet people Online and possibly make friends along the way, but believe me I find it hard myself to keep up with whom I have on my lists, so take that as a warning, but if you're a good, fast typist then you'll have tons of fun chatting with more than one person at a time.
In your opinion, are online friends real friends?
A recent comment by a friend got me thinking about this. Detecting whether people are genuine is difficult enough in real life. It can be much harder online, since it is much easier to disguise one's identity. And yet, I believe many AV'ers have gotten to know each other in "real" life; exchanging phone numbers, and so on. I personally know people who have met in chat rooms, become pen pals, and become "real life" friends. And one couple I know met online, got married, and have a child. From my own experience, and extrapolating from the experience of others, I believe that it is possible to make "real" friends online, but that it takes a slightly different set of skills, and perhaps more caution. But I'm curious to hear about your experiences. What do you think? How real are online friends? What does your experience tell you? In what ways are online friends different than "real life" friends? Looking forward to the discussion.
