I feel like its easier to talk to people online about things i wouldn't dare to talk about in real life. I might be too nervous or shy around others in real life which makes it easier online. And if you have many in different times zones you will always have someone to talk to
P.S. You don't need to look okay either, they wouldn't know if you look super tired or didn't shower for days :P

Make new friends. Move on and continue to be yourself. I'm sure you can still make some other friends.

Pros: Its easier to be your self, and find people that are like you and into things you are, like games or music. You can also make lots of friends since there are probably many people into things you like.
Cons: Your not face to face so its not always the same as being with a friend in person.

The positives of having an online friend is that you can talk without the uncomfortableness of seeing another person face to face. This helps people sometimes open up to you better because they can't see you're facial expressions. I feel the con of having an online friend is that you can't physically let someone cry on you're shoulder and let someone experience you in person. Also, you might find out they are not who they say they are which can be disappointing.

The pros: you can develop relationships on a blank slate and that other person only knows what you want them to know. You are able to anonymously tell people whatever you like without being judged. Online, the world is your oyster. You can make friends with similar interests and experiences but can also make friends with people from all over the worlds.
The cons: you have to be careful with information you share in online relationships as it can make you vulnerable and trolls could take advantage of that

You can make very good friends who understand but also meet some very bad people who will try to force you into things or stalk you

Pros - You will not be judged as they may not know who you are(depends on what is said).
Cons - Socialism is by face to face contact and may not say real things about themselves.
