What is your opinion on online friendships/relationships?

I think online friendships can be more rewarding than a offline friendship. There isn't as much, stress with an online friendship(I find) You don't really have to worry about how you look, what your wearing, ect, But also in some ways it can be worse, you have a lack of that phsyical contact, and you can't see them smile, laugh, cry, frown, ect. So they have there positives and negatives. But in offline relationships you can really do more together than just talk.

Now for relationships, some work some don't. There is more of a risk factor in online relationships to a degree. You honestly have no idea who you are talking to, but offline, it's the same case, yes you can see their face and everything, but you still don't know them, their background, or even if they are who they say they are. They can be beneficial, you don't have to worry about dressing up for dates, make yourself look nice for them, or making yourself look like a fool around them. But, you're relationship might not be able to get to the same depth or intimacy as an offline relationship, due to the lack of physical contact.

I'm perfectly fine with both, I have many online friends, but I haven't had an online relationship. But I do know someone who has had one, and it caused a lot of conflict in her personal life.

Some people prefer online, some prefer offline, some like both.

Online friendships in my opinion are the best ever. Nothing beats actually hanging out with real life friends, but as i'm more of the - i don't like people - type of people, i find it easier to be more myself in front of a computer screen then face to face.
Online relationships however do not work out for me. The only reason i know you have an online relationship is because you live too far away to have an actual physical relationship, and i've never been good with distance in love situations.
But i know so many people who have flourished with them.

Neither is good, yet neither is bad either :)

I Do like it.
and I have one online friend .

Personally, I think that having friends in real life is much more beneficial, than having online friends. There's nothing wrong with having online friends, but it is also good to hang out with people that you can physically go and see, rather than restrict your life to online friends. I have several online friends, and I like all the people I'm friends with... But, I also have quite a few good friends I know in real life and I wouldn't trade those friendships for all the gold in the world.

-To me, friends I personally know are the most rewarding. Reasons being; they know what you look like, they most likely know what kind of person you really are, inside and out, meaning they should be friends that accept you for you. They are also easier to trust and be loyal to. They can literally be there for you when you need comfort or encouragement, and plenty of other stuff.
-Online friends had different advantages. They can be from another country, which expands your cultural beliefs, respects and stuff like that. (I actually know someone who stopped being racist because of his online friend.) You can learn about the lifestyles of other places and such while sharing common interests with that online friend. Sometimes, if you end up meeting them they become a real good friend - online friends can make great best friends, assuming they are real. There's also an advantageous disadvantage to online friends though. With online friends, you can lie your butt off about yourself and the person on the other line would believe that that is the real you, and would be accepting a 'fake' you, basically. It makes you look cool but then that friend might as well be talking to someone imaginary.
-Still, as mentioned above, online friends can still become great friends if they are real and sincere and not like those cheaters who have some ulterior motive. However I don't think online romantic relationships are a good idea, as you don't know the real person and even if they are sincere, it's the same as loving a computer. The relationship should wait until they finally meet each other for real. That's what I think at least.

to be faithful
i experienced a lot of fake friendship
until i found someone whose kinda honest,trust ",until now i'm not sure" but we talk to each other on what's app
and we sure have each other phone numbers as well.

I have social anxiety and having a screen between me and my pals helps me a lot. So I support them 100% .
