was grocery shopping , and saw my old best fried in the dairy aisle . have n't spoken to them in like ten years , even though we used to be really close . we caught up a little bit , and exchanged numbers to talk more later . funny how small the world is sometimes . yes dude the world is a trip , i made many friends over the years online and when i bump into them i make sure i go up to them and chit chat and shake hands , you never know when someone will pass away , that 's actually a really good point .. i do online gaming , so i have tons of online friends , almost all of which i 'm sure i 'll never meet . and i definitely have lost touch with most of them , just because it 's so easy to . i do n't really do social media either , so i do n't have that to kind of glue things together . wonder why it 's hard for adults to keep friends i have in real life friends , and a regular job , but because of back problems and sciatica ive made many friends online i consider to be like brothers social media has let me make relationships while in bed lol really appreciate your perspective . that 's awesome . online friends are every bit as good . i 'm with you there . hope things stay good with yoou
The realization that online friendships can be as meaningful and valuable as in-person relationships.
