Or even having more online-friends than IRL friends?
I personally don't have anyone I would consider an online-friend mainly because I don't come online seeking friendship, there's something desperate about that, I come to socialise with IRL friends/play games/interact with people but I won't call them friends. I am a member of a number of online communities and obviously one of that is WoW's but I don't have a single online friend. I don't know why that is just literally went through all the different games I play and websities I visit but I couldn't come up with a single friend who I only interact with online.
Don't get me wrong I have people I play with like guildies for example but I wouldn't say they're friends more of a convenient aacquaintance.
One thing that makes me wary of online friendships is their tenuous nature and the fact that the other person can leave the convo at any time without the ability to seek them out IRL/or approach them for an explanation. In that regard I view online friendships as disingenuous ngand decidedly superficial.
What do you think?
