That however doesn't mean that I'm sharing all my personal details and predicaments with the whole world. I'm not on facebook or any other social platform. For one because the virtual company there doesn't interest me at all. And secondly because I know that it's a giant and glorified marketing profile generator at it's base.
In that aspect AF is one of the better places. But still, I don't see any reason to spill my personal beans here for everyone to see. A little bit, yes, but certainly not everything that makes or breaks me as a person.
Haha you missed my point entirely. I'm not talking about what you would share. I was only saying that it is possible to build real meaningful relationships over the Internet with people you've never met. Sure there's always a slight risk even then, but so is there afk. People can lie to you in person too.
And on this note I'd like to say that Losty as my best friend in the whole world is the person I trust above anyone else (anyone else) I've ever known in the nearly 28 years I've lived. She is my #1 friend and I am extremely lucky to have her as my friend.
And I've never 'met' her. But to me there becomes a point when to say that certain online friendships are not 'RL' starts to sound silly to me.
