Fuck no, online friends are worthless I cant tell you how many guilds I've ghosted. They always try to reach out after too like we were ever real friends

Yes

No

Meh. I have had online friends be more my friends than the friends I had in real life.

>amount of posters doesn't go up
hmmm

If you know them irl yes
If not no.

If you call them by their first real name yes

No they do not you loser. Get real friends.

They do, but it's not the same as friends who aren't miles apart and whom you can physically affect.

>play the
>get friend request
>accept
>never end up playing with them ever again

It depends on how you interact with them

i made like 5 online "friends" in total and every time we just stop talking and the friendship fades away

Friends are people who would die for you. I laugh every time when idiots think they have lots of friends when in reality they just have a bunch of acquaintances.

play the what?

I wouldnt say die for you, but definitely attempt to stop your death. If you expect your friends to die for you, youre a dick. A true friend would die for his friends and allow them to get away, Not expect them to do that for them.

If you interact with them outside of games

MY FRIENDS ARE PIKMIN THEY SHOULD DIE FOR ME.

What a sociopath

the whole point of friends, really, is that they'll cover for you when you're truly incapacitated.

i.e. in the hospital, depressed to the point you can't get out of bed, going through an intense breakup with a shebitch who tries to ruin your life, etc.

none of your online acquaintances can or would do that for you, they might say they would, but they won't. so no, they're not real friends. they may as well be randoms, the only thing that's supposed to make them worthwhile is that they're easier to play with consistently and they're good practice dummies for new jokes or complex thoughts.

go outside and stop living in a fantasy world.

An online friend has chipped in for me financially multiple times when I was in a rough spot

online friends recommend you The Rational Male etc. before you date an insane women that puts you in the hosptial.

Ignore all these losers. I started making online friends when I was a preteen, and I have known some of them for over a decade. I have a group I meet up with almost yearly for vacation, a friend in japan I visited last fall that basically gave me a tour of the country, and some I haven't had a chance to meet irl but talk to daily since 2005-2008. We send each other holiday cards and gifts, I have loaned some of them money when in financial trouble (and they paid it back), and we watch movies together, play online games together, etc. If anyone tells you online friends aren't 'real' they're just dumb bitches that no one wants to be around.

Based

Well OP it depends. Do your online friendships feel real? Do you find comfort in them that you dont find in others? What do they add to your life? Our lives are becoming increasingly digital, so who's to say that they arent real friendships?

a good friend wouldn't make you read a bullshit MRA/MGTOW/Redpill/PUA bullshit

like seriously how pathetic

out of the hundreds of people I've met online I have met a grand total of 1 person who has become a good and lasting friend

How does one make friends, Zig Forums?

I fail at steps 1 2 and 4

well now you know what to work on

I don't have offline or online friends.

>Our lives are becoming increasingly digital, so who's to say that they arent real friendships?
The literal distinction you make between digital and real is the difference.

How can you afford all that on neetbux? You arent a normalfag with a fucking job, are you?
