Huge impact, huge emotional support
It’s made me happier to know them. Especially during this time with corona virus, where it was hard to see many of my irl, I could always depend on them.
Once I was at the airport flying home from a work trip. It had been a really stressful few months and I found myself suddenly in the throes of a legitimate panic attack. She and I had had so many conversations about mental health that I called her right away and she talked me through the five senses and then hung on the phone until I was feeling safe again. I’ll never forget this, or that she was the first person I thought to call.
Well he used to be my boyfriend (bisexual relationship) but then we argued a lot and have strayed farther away.
Yes, but no more or less than IRL friends
It made me reavaliate what I wanted from an friendship - both online and offline. They made me more concious of myself and helped me when no one else would
We are best friends
She is my best friend and she's the person I want to share the good and bad parts of my life with most often.
I'm happier
They've (non-binary, not plural) been there to support me through hard times, be excited with me in good times, and be a voice of reason in my pocket.
I was pretty lonely in quarantine, meeting them on an online game and then playing almost every other day together has given me something to look forward to.
Yes, she made me less fearful of thinking people only talk as a joke because that happened a lot when we first met/during our friendship
I visited him and saw a new world. A new family
It was nice to be able to connect with someone over something simple like a video game.
it makes me fell less lonely and helps me make better decision
Brightened it.
It proved to me and my family that online isnt just a place to do things. People use the internet and friendships or more can be found there.
Nice to know my time on the Internet wasn't a complete waste
yeah i guess
I have somebody to tell about what bothers me
