I have no friends. I'm and evil troll and I will steal your candy and make it into rotten leaves if you try to befriend me.

[Mr. Graves]

It's really odd, but the vast majority of the acquiatances/friends I've made here either don't post here anymore, or only post on a blue moon.

I think they're real. I've seen photos of them, talked on the phone to them, and see on reason to think they're anything but real people on the other end of the connection.

I think that online friends can be just as good as real friends, but I think it's healthy to have friends outside of the internet.

I consider every single one of you to be my friend. Except for David.

What about DJ?

But I love yoooou Grover....*snares Grover in a bone crushing hug*

[Erdrick Holmes]

Most of my online friends are about as close to me as IRL friends. If you added me to your LJ friends list I see you as that.

[Erased]

I have more RL friends than online friends. At least, I think I do. *Counts on his fingers* Ummm... Anyone have some fingers for me? I need some more. *Renown goes up with a little golden shiny head* What the...? Hmmm, Fable must be getting to me. Wow, I'm so renowned :rolleyes2 Anyway, I consider some of you to be my friends! Those of you who are, you <i><b>don't</b></i> know who you are!

[Yamaneko]

I don't consider anyone online a friend. Most of you don't know what I look like, so I might not even really be real. From what I've seen there are probably a few people here who could be considered friends if we ever met.

[Meat Puppet]

I love you all, but I say that because I know through the internet I can deceive you and paint a different image of who I really am, so it's different to the people that I know in real life (not, or course, saying that I know any)

[DMKA]

I believe they can be aswell. Most everyone here whos not like new as in the last 6 months and is still here I can pretty much call an "online buddy" I think...a few of us have had our conflicts, but meh, we got over it...I think. O__o

Wow that sounds like RL buddies.

[Polyonymous]

Those of you who are, you don't know who you are!

wait a tick, if im your friend and i know im your friend... would that mean im not your friend seeing as how all your friends dont know you are thier friend? i think it would, and since now i know that i am not your friend that would then make me elligable to be your friend.... and not know it?

if this makes no sense at all im sorry, it is 3:10 A.M. here and im just a little bit tired

[Maxico]

I wanna freind. But I dont have any.

[Levian]

They aren't fake so I guess they have to be real then. And sparkly!

I believe that online friends are a different type of friend, though no less valuable than a 'real' friend. Not being able to see people's reactions etc. makes it difficult to say that you really know someone you've met online. However, it's easier to communicate your feelings/problems with online friends because you're physically distanced from them.

I wouldn't say that I know my online friends as well as my offline ones, but I feel just as comfortable talking to them as I would my friends in real life. As for who my online friends are, I don't want to risk leaving anyone out, so I'll just assume that you know who you are already.
