Yes I do. My real life bff for past 11-12 years is from IF only. I was a silent reader here for past few years, even then I did have my favourite members here whose posts used to make me happy. The very reason I logged in again was to tell one particular member how much I loved reading her posts and what she means even to a complete stranger like me! Then my interactions with Sameer (Guddu) was fun from the first post itself, he is my first friend on BWF! I started posting more thanks to him and found a sweetest friend here in Shwetha - meri budhhi buddy ❤️
Aur fir music threads (VoIF, antakshari and Lata ji) gave me sooooo many lovely friends too! 😳 If I start naming everyone, we may finish 150 pages! 😆
Would like to add something..
Some of us may be introverts in real life and have difficulty in making / maintaining friendships but making friends virtually is a bit easier as we are not judging/being judged by them for our choices/ words. The reason may be because our interactions with them are bit limited. One can be their real self, speak their minds freely and still find the like minded people here. In real world you may not always have that liberty.
