What are the pros and cons of making friends online?

The pros are definitely the accessibility; it's relatively simple to make friends online since you don't really see each other face to face, so there is no initial judgment. However, the cons are just that: you don't see each other face to face. How do you know you can trust the other person? Are they really what they say they are? You should always remain cautious when going online.

The pros and cons about making friends online for me is you can share just about anything and everything and for some reason in the beginning emotions are easily able to be expressed. I wonder if that is simply because they are not here in person to break her heart or to disappoint you simply because of the psychological reason that you can just move on to another person. Without getting physically attached in person but little do we know we are getting physically attached with a person but for some reason the psychological aspect does not quite grasp. And regards to the cons if the person indeed is a genuine person distance is what keeps the closeness strong and it ends up becoming scary of losing that friend that understands you so well and you understand them so well you feel that connection so deep but because of it being online you could never feel see or touch that person when you truly get very close to them

A benefit of online friendship is getting to learn more about lives, struggles, and tribulations of individuals that may not always be in your area. A major con is that these individuals may not be as they write themselves to be.

Pros You can be as polite and very helpful. cons just dont give too much of your time because we have to remember they are our members not friends. Always remember to follow all guidelines and regulations. Be super professional at what we do as if it were our job.

When you make friends online, you are relatively anonymous, so you have time to decide what you want to say, like here on 7 cups. In 1 to 1 conversations, you don’t have to worry about replying too slowly or sounding awkward, because everyone does that sometimes. However, there’s the hazard of troll accounts and cyber bullying.

It is easier as the development of internet. You can choose to talk or just leave it if you feel uncomfortable. Just make sure there are lots of online predator, so keep your privacy for yourself. Be wise! Internet may be helpful and mean at the same time.

I have a thousand things to say.. it can be the best thing ever. you might meet amazing people that will stay with you forever. But sometimes it's hard to find friends that will last a lifetime because it's hard with timezones and all.

Pros: new friends, new experiences, conctat around the world Con:never know who is behind the phone

What I really enjoy about making friends online is the opportunity to meet other people without the perceptual filters and stereo-types we inevitably have. We can connect meaningfully with people from all over the world and learn about other cultures. We can look for others who share our esoteric tastes. The downsides include not easily being able to get together with a far away online friend to do fun things. We miss out on some important aspects and benefits of f2f interaction. If we do ever meet the person they might be very different from what we expect. And of course there is always the risk that a person has intentionally misled us for nefarious purposes. Actually, this is risk no matter how we initially meet a person.

Pros- you can talk about anything and everything with them, they’re always there for you, you meet some of the best people online. Cons- you will never be able to meet them face to face, unless you plan that. You realise they’re actually better than half of the friends you actually have
