net friends

  1. Friends are flowers,

    …yeah it’s a cheesy cliché line I know. Think about it for a moment, when a flower begins to die the petals start to wilt then they fall away. I have two internet buddy’s Mae and Scott and once a year or so ago we were great friends, unfortunately our friendship was based around an RPG we worked on together. At first their were ten or so of us. Each of us took on the role of a character in a small town. Like most RPG’s people started to drift away from the RPG and soon we were the only ones left in it. We managed to keep it going for a very long time, then I drifted from Mae and Scott. Scott is a very quiet person he never really tried to stay in contact with me, I guess I didn’t make it easy considering my msn Address was changed. Mae sent me a lot of personal messages on the ABD site I went there occasionally and replied to the messages, I never made much of an effort.

    I guess you could say I’m a selfish person, my concepts of friendship aren’t the greatest. I feel like if people aren’t going to make an effort for me I won’t either.

    Anyway enough of the blah, blah. So recently we start talking again and I even joined another RPG they are in. These guys pretty much taught me everything I know about grammar and structure in my paragraphs and so on. I was useless before that, I owe Scott a lot for the help his given me.

    The friendship isn’t like it use to be. Mae’s kids have grown up and she’s making the most of her life getting into her work study’s Scott’s still Scott and as always I’m never sure where I stand with him. His had a lot of hurt in his life so he lefts people come to him and not the other way around. I think the friendship is starting to die again already.

    Do friendships made on the internet ever last?

    I don't have the answer to your question, since this site is the first one I'm making friends over. Though I do hope they last.

    Dunno, Mik and me were good friends, hell, I was friends with his whole family online, then don't know ehat happened, I wonder if it was the real world or something, or the fact that Mikael took extraordinary pleasure in telling me all about hiscurrent girlfriends...and then there are local friends from my twon itself, whom I've never talked to in real life, but get along great with online, as a matter of fact it shocked to find that one of those friends of mine studies Phys tutions with me.


    I don't know if these friendships last or not. In India they can, cos there isn't much of that difference, but abroad...sometimes I want to make friends from other countries, then I get real hesistant and all after all that happened with Mik and Jay....and Tyesha of cours...I'm pretty much confused mysellf

    Yes they can. I've made friends with some people on the net that has lasted over 2 years now. Me and Raven have been net friends for two years and have I with 6 other people for 2 years now. I also have Banzai, heather and Cogito that I've been friends with for quite some time now.

    It just isn't like a typical friendship and harder to keep hold of, but it is possible Gloom. Though easier to drift apart!

    it can be done like Torana said although there's a certain stigma about it. if you tell your parents you met some nice people online i doubt they will be understanding. but it all depends on the people.

    Hmm maybe I just have a defective personality

    nope. I tink u have a kool personality. It's what makes u a great individual. Otherwise you would be boring and I wouldn't talk to ya.:p

    I think you can have online freindships, the only thing is to be (naturally) wary of the friendship and the person on the other computer.

    Gloom you have your won personality and that is what makes you an individual. I would not say a defective personality at all. We don't always remain friends with people for the rest of our lives. It would be nice if we could hold on to certain friends forever, but for some unknown reasons, life doesn't pan out that way. Our lives take different paths and we somehow drift apart. It can hurt that we lose friends, both online and away from the internet. But all we have to do is remember that time you had with the person and see the impact they had on your life. Even if a bad one, it all comes down to carving who we are and who we are going to be. If you look at everything that goes on in your life, good and bad, you will see that in the end, so long as you allow for it, it helps you become a much stronger person...I'm going to shut the heck up now, I'm babbling lol :p love me ^ ^
