What are the pros and cons of making friends online?

Pros are that people can think better what to say while chatting over the internet. The problem is that a lot of valuable info is lost (faces, gestures, voice tones...)

Pros: You get to make friends from a very vast area. You get to know different types of people, from different cultures and backgrounds. Cons : You don't really know what the person is like in real life. You never know whether or not the information he shared is true.

Pros are that since there are so many young people on social media, you can most likely find some one with same or similar interests as you! But on the other hand, sadly, you can't see them and spend time with them whenever you want.

Pros: can keep in touch over long distances, more accessible to people with disabilities and those who are geographically isolated, a convenient means of communication. Cons: there is a loss of physical connection with others, online communication is lacking important cues such as tone of voice, body language, facial expression, so things can be easily misunderstood and understanding is sub-optimal. I also just love people's little quirks and nuances that you sometimes only notice in real life. Some of the things that make people human, real, relatable, amicable, and inspirational.

The pros are you'll get to meet new people from different background and countries. You will also have the opportunity to learn new cultures and see the world from different perspective. The cons are it is hard to know for sure if they are not pretending to be someone else online, you won't be able to hang out together in real life and you can't reveal too much information online for the your own safety. Overall, making friends online is a good thing as long as you exercise caution and remain open minded for new people.

Pros: it is anonymous. U can share everything with them. They will listen it without being judgemental. But it may become CONS: when u start to share ur personal details with them because after knowing personal details they may start judging u. They can also threaten you or bully you coz they know much about you.. so don't share personal details online and be safe.

The pros are that they’re friends. They’ll be people you can talk to and have fun with. The cons can be that you can’t always tell that they’re who they told you they are.

Pros are you have people to talk to, there are more people you can talk to, you won't be judged on your looks. Cons are you cant have face to face conversations and you may not always be able to reach the other person.

A big pro is that they are always there. A friend you can carry along in your pocket, if you will. And the biggest con is that you can't talk to them face to face. You can't hug them or just sit next to each other in peaceful silence.

Pro's: Being anonymous can make it easier to talk to someone without fear of judgement. Cons: You don't know if the person you are talking to are sincere. As a note, never give out your personal information to people online.
