I'd have to have friends online give me stuff as I don't have friends irl.
I wish I was good at decorating.
I'm really bad at it when playing games like The Sims 8,u

Online friendships are just as valid as offline ones. Anyone who says otherwise is full of themselves and full of crap.

I think online friendships are different from offline ones.
It's not a matter of validity, or even value, it's a matter of how you are present.
Online friends can't give you a hug when you need it more.
On the other hand, it's often harder to have a long deep conversation offline - specially if your interests are quite specific.

I've made friends online and have stayed friends for over a decade.
Most of them I met on here .__.
It's kind of hard to make friends irl if you rarely leave the house 8u
Most people I knew and talked to where my elderly neighbors and most of them are gone.

Yes, of course, online friends can fill an important gap if you have no offline friends.
Even if you leave the house, even if you have plenty of acquitances, you may have no real friends to whom you can tell things, with whom you can discuss things.

I had four besties when I was going to school.
Two of them, I knew since we were in preschool.
I dropped out of school and stopped talking to them...
They're on Facebook.
Well, I know for sure one is because my mom friended him.
The other has a Facebook, but I don't know if she's still active.
I stopped talking to them because...I felt like I couldn't talk to them anymore.
We stopped talking and went our separate ways.
One of them, his dad died not too long ago. Maybe two weeks ago. My mom told him she was sorry and told him I was sorry and that we love him.
His dad was a pretty nice guy. He was funny too - just like his son - my bestie.
My bestie is one of the few people in the world that could get me to laugh out loud.
I'd laugh so hard that it hurt.

I can count the number of people I consider dear friends on one hand. One is someone I've known since I was in high school, two are people I met at my first go at college, one is my partner, and one I met at a Transformers convention.
now, outside of that circle, I've got many more friends who I sometimes get to see in person.
The rest of my friends are people I've met online.
I have so many friends who I want to be able to visit, but can't atm due to the state of the world and my own financial situation.

I have this habit of growing distant from my friends because their lives seem to move on and mine is always stationary.
My besties from school and two of my besties online.
People tell me to talk to them, that they'd love to talk to me.
But it's like...WHY?
They're successful and I'm not.
Why would they want to talk to a loser u8
It's always awkward too because we haven't talked a lot in a long time.
They're almost like new people and it's awkward - eventhough we knew each other really good.

They want to talk to you because they want to reconnect if you've drifted apart. If it's someone new, it's because you seem like someone interesting to talk to, or they can relate to you.
