What are the pros and cons of making friends online?

Well, the pros and cons will be different for each individual — keep that in mind here. With that being said, here’s a bit of what I think. Pros: It’s easy to find lots of different people — the internet covers the whole world, and making friends with different lives than you can be interesting and educational, as all cultures are different. It’s also easier to find people with similar interests than you, as many corners of the internet are dedicated to people with specific interest. Cons: Safety may be a concern. Sure meeting different people may be fun, but be careful that you are not being manipulated or sharing too much with strangers. With the friends you do make online, it also may be more difficult to see them in real life. For a lot of people, physically being with someone else is crucial for a friendship. I wish you the best! ❤️

Making friends online can definitely benefit you and maybe others who are more shy. Some pros can be not having to experience awkwardness and face-to-face interactions for those people who are more on the shy side. Some cons can be that it is hard to find someone to talk to with the same intentions of just finding friends. It can be a great opportunity to find people who will not judge you on your physical features and things that you are insecure about and just finding someone to talk to. It can be highly risky to randomly talk to people online and make sure that they are not weird and harmful to you.
