you would be having a nice convo and they fucking vanish
ye it happen
is it okay nope
Yessss but not if it's only hppnd in 1-2 convo
But if it hppns a significant number of times then yeaaa
Idk depends
I think it's normal now they just come and go
No
Wait a few days
only if yall been serious
if its a talking stage whatever
and no serious chatting on dc doesnt count im talking real serious relationship
But you can’t jst vanish in a friendship too, its against the friend code.
shit happens with internet strangers
i dont actually count those ppl as friends
but if ur talking real life friends, yes ofc
But what if u r talking with the same internet stranger for weeks, almost everyday. Isnt that internet stranger ur friend?
you can call each other friends but ur not actually friends
Well, probably thats why this happens, cuz ppl have different povs in the same conversation
Maybe lesser than irl friends, but friends nonetheless
keyword lesser
online friends dont replace real life friends
I agree that expecting a lot from the internet friends can end up hurting
But I think it shouldn’t
They dont have ro replace irl friends, they can be added to the list.
but theyre not actually real friends
theyre just people you kill time with
and then when life gets busy ur online friends are the first you ditch
real friends actually mean something
dont get me wrong tho ive had soo much fun with ppl ive met online but theyre not actual friends
I dont totally agree
If at some point talkinf to some online friend become easier than most of ur real life friends, and u talk on a daily basis, you wouldn’t wanna drop them.
Because u connext
u shouldnt be prioritizing online friends over real life friends
even if its easier
Why do you need to prioritise one over the other?
Of course if you get busy you talk to the online friends less. But that doesn’t mean you ghost them is what I am saying
That doesnt mean you cut them off completely
idk about if you are too but as an adult life is already beyond busy to balance everything. ofc you should be prioritizing the free time you have to real life connections
You can confinue being friends with them.
Of course i agree, but I am just saying that online friends are real too. And maybe you won’t spend quality everyday time with them, but you should have the basix courtesy to inform them if you are gonna be busy or gone for some time, if they are who you were talking to on a regular basis
And i totally agree that if u r meeting a real life frnd, that comes ober spenidn time with online frinds
But i meant abt cutring them off of ur life completely
Or vanishing completely or ghosting intentionally for a long time wothout informing
To the people you used to talk to everyday
yea thats fair
im just very anti pro-online friends core
but the level that ppl hold online friends to isnt realistic
online just means ambiguity and anonymity it aint it for friends you dont actually know the person
Yeah blind trust will just hurt, agreed
i have been summoned
I mean, but you can get to know the person… if you want to, and if both sides are sharing equally.
Ofc you can choose to not do that
It's an unhealthy relationship to only depend on someone when you break down
