As in real life i have both, as do we all i think

i have cyber friends i have known for over 12yrs and email everyday we send card at christmas and birthdays (not ecards) ne chat on messenger as and when we can

so i would say if an old friend was online and a new one both at the same time i would have to make a choice who to chat to, as i cant type very fast, its a juggeling act at times

I HAVE A DEAF AQUAINTANCE
TRY ARGUING
HE JUST TURNS AWAY

IT HURTS

SAME CYBER

YOU CANT ARGUE THEY BLOCK YOU

reading Steves post it sounds as though he has lots of cyber acquaintances but very few cyber friends.

I have lots of cyber friends, some I have met lots I haven't, all lovely.

It depends how you regard the term 'cyber friends' - to me I have 1 true cyber friend on this site, we talk on msn daily but neither of us post as much as we used to.

*edited- btw I refer to Angie.

on other sites I have many cyber friends - ones I can trust.

I chat to 2 people on Messenger every morning.One comes from Usa and the other from Australia.We met in a chat room(that sadly closed down a few years ago)My friend from Australia had always wanted a sister,so I said to him i'll be your sister.So it kicked off from there.That was about 7/8 years ago.
We have each other's home address and write to each other every now and then.We send Birthday/Christmas cards.My friend from Australia is old enough to be my dad,but we don't let the age barrier get in the way.We always find something to chat about.Always miss each other if we are on holiday,illness etc.Maureen

steve thats lovely
i hope your still friends,

Good question Janey

my thoughts on cyber friendships first

Some times we have great expectations of cyber friends, that they cant fullfill, even tho they try to be the best they can

also in cyber space you may suddenly have "lots" of friends that all want some of our time, then it becomes a juggeling act

who do we chat to and when

how much time do we give them

thats when things start to come apart
some need more of our time than others
but in order to give them that extra time we neglect the others who may also need us

Now regarding your question

You have taken so much crap from people because of me in the last two years and i have cocked up nearly as many times

but still we talk and no matter what happens if you never spoke to me again i would still be your friend and be there if you ever needed me

so thats my answer

Thanks everyone.

Am ok TOR recovering slowly after my op.


Thanks again

Hi Janey :)

I cannot answer your question sorry but would like to share this with you. You have probably seen it before but it does make some sense.


People come into your life for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime...

When you know which one it is for a person, you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you ned them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered, and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

some may last a short time,some may last longer but many will last a lifetime.
Thats im sure off as i hold some in all off them lol

Janey

Hi - hope you're okay.

My belief is a cyber friendship is like any other. Trust is built over time.

I also think they have advantages over real world friendships as the demands they place on you are far less.

T.O.R. ;o))

I would love to hear about other's experiences of friendship over the net, good and bad.

Can you really trust? Can they be friendships for life?


Hugs
