I'm a lot more confident online.
I think I'm nicer in real life. Kay would probably disagree!

I'm just extremely shy irl and lack alot of confidence. But I'm working on that. I'd have to say that I'm as nice as I am online as I am irl. So I'm about the same, except way more joking and sarcastic irl

There are a lot of people I "know" online but there are only a handful I would consider close friends and I am very blessed to have them in my life.
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time… It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.

Yes. I personally think true friendships can be formed online.
Example: A guy I met online (he emailed me in regards to my Kiara website) is someone I consider one of my best and closest friends. Have I met him irl? No, not yet anyway. We have known each other for seven years, and I trust him completely. We have exchanged pictures, talked on the phone plenty of times, we text a couple times a week and send each other packages for christmas and our birthdays. I truly care about him, and I feel that I know him very well although we have never actually met.

If anything online friends are more truthful than ones you've met in person.

Online friends can rarely be 100% trusted or relied on. No matter if anyone disagrees or not, it is the truth and I already learned this myself. Maybe if you met your online friend(s) several times in RL, But otherwise not.

What makes this truth? Fear?

Approximately 95% of my online friends have proven that they can be trusted. Approximately 0% of my irl friends have proven the same.
