Have you made friendships that exist exclusively in cyberspace? I have not. If so, how are they different fro f2f relationships? If you have not formed cyber relationships, why not?
I have to say my friendships that are exclusively in cyberspace is due to my friends who have moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba; Fresno, California; or Sacramento, California; etc. Otherwise, I have never made any friends through the internet. The reason for it is that I do not have the spare time to carry on anymore cyber friendships, nor am I interested in having a friendship with someone I have not met face to face, or even know if they are telling me the truth about themselves. Besides, there are too many crazy people out there. I prefer to keep a simple life. I prefer to initiate relationships face to face. This way I can see who they are. I can sense whether they are sincere. I can judge whether this is someone I choose to have as a friend, as I am very picky who I call “a Friend.”

Hi Paris--
ReplyDeleteI agree with you when you say that there are too many crazies out there! Reading all the random stuff that happens on MYSPACE and FACEBOOK just scares me at times. Even the recent event that happened on craigslist is a bit frightening.
I too am interested and enjoy face to face relationships mainly because I know who the person I am talking to is. It is nice to see that person and actually see them physically rather than base your relationship on random facts and other aspects that probably aren't true.
I haven't had a "cyberspace" friend in probably 10 years. I can't imagine how crazy it is out there now.
