Emphasis.
When you do truly come to know someone, you know they're not that way inclined.
I'd trust my bestie over anyone else every single time. Every single time.
The way I see it is online bestie friendships like me and Losty and Rob and Ivy are extremely strong evidence against the idea of online friendships not being as 'real' as so-called 'real life'.
Fair enough to those who haven't experienced it themselves it's not evidence, but it's sure as hell strong evidence to those who have experienced it.
Well, I wasn't saying they're not as real. What I was saying is that it's easier for someone to put something over when they have a couple of computers between you and them. I wasn't talking about your relationships in particular, just laying a general point.
I've been hurt by trusting too much online, and to be honest I think I've hurt others, because it's easier to type feelings than to live them.
