Just in the past week, I ditch three "friends" because I found that they were all liars. Sucks. I hate trusting people so easily. I do like my net buddies though - the distance makes it harder for them to screw up my life! Jokes, I got jokes! :mrgreen: I’m definitely not one to comment on the state of this right now.

A great article details how the advent of internet, chat groups, and other modern contrivances has led us into 7 habits of social skills loss. Their main point was this: Because we can find like-minded people on the internet--same interests, same hobbies, heck, even same political views--we lose our ability to compromise with people who don't. It was harder when you could only make friends with people in the same geographical area because you didn't have such a large sampling of people to choose from. You basically had to learn how to be friends with people who wouldn't agree with you. Now if we don't like someone we just retreat back to finding people who do on the internet instead of working it out. Actually, we are becoming less friendly.

Usually internet friends feel safer in the aspect that you actually see them, and as a result, Internet friends tend to share more and thus you develop a sound friendship. In real life, you make friends, and then another friend will say something about the new friend. This happens a lot less online. So I feel more comfortable with my online friends. Just an opinion.
