Hello people i am very new to this section of the forum preferring to stay at the more mundane side of the forum a.k.a the soaps section. :D

Over the time i have spent there i have gained a lot of friends. But i cannot help thinking whether we can term them as friends,,Should we trust them enough to give our email ID's and what not?


And do you agree with one part of this world who say that it is wrong to make friends online as it is not "Safe"?



Debate away ..:)

If you think of them as friends, then they are your friends. If you don't, then they aren't.

There is nothing to debate about this.

Well whats the entire point of world wide web if you don't use its social sites to make some new friends, learn about their culture and let them know about your own? I see nothing wrong in that. But one should try to go out and make some friends without using the internet too like IDK real life? 😃

I see online friends as pen friends.. you meet new people who share the same interest as you, and if you feel that the guy is sane then it is safe otherwise run far and run fast :P
There have been too many virtual friends related cases since facebook and orkut, so yeah better be cautious! 😃

Well, ask yourself if they're really worthy of your time. You must know better about your emotional nature.. so, think about the repercussions of emotional attachment with strangers. Think about what your priorities are. Think about whether you could utilize the time you spend with "virtual" friends, by doing actually something productive or for your career or by bonding with your family.

Personally, I dont believe in real-life friendships only. Most importantly, I focus my attention on career, personal growth, my amma-apa.
To by very honest with you, friendships and all are fake, these days. Most essentially - they're a waste of time, waste of emotions(especially if you have a fragile EQ like me), and un-necessary.. just be geuine and warm with anyone that you talk to, but I feel it's un-necessary to go out of your way, sit and chit chat with someone, waste your time and un-necessarily get emotionally attached to anyone while I got my career and other 101 things to focus my attention on!

According to me, when we make friends online, we can sometimes analyse what kinda person one is he/she from his/her behavior...n i think we can just take more time to know them...that's it.
Then, we ourselves know that we should go for personal recognition with that person or not!

But one thing is definitely true that sometimes we can talk more openly n clearly to the online friends whom we haven't even seen...than our other friends!

Giving ur Email Id to someone online , is not a big deal i guess.
Yaa ur I.D can be Hack and missused.
But i dunt thnk any stranger is soo Free or i should say wella , and if any stranger do that it will be for or coz of some purpose , taht means some1 ur known is Include. . .

So basically online frienshp is not bad , atleast bettr than havng some fake friens in front of u , u will choose talking to some fake person online rathr than face to face...
