it has made a massive positive impact, shes made me happier and helped me get clean.
Close friends that get me in a way others don’t
I became a DC fan and I appreciate good movies/TV shows. ____ on the other hand began appreciating good games.
I think it made me more confident in myself, as I was lacking similar friends in real life at the time and i found it was ok to be myself
Probably not
it hasn't made too much of an impact, i have just talked to them as often as i would any other friend
It's nice to have a friend from a different culture, to get different perspectives
helps with boredom
It's been nice, especially this year, to have a reliable social group that I can do things with from my apartment.
A big one, as I had no friends at all for over two years because of depression and other things, so they were my first actual friend in a long time
Having friends online really helped develop my communication skills. When you can't see the other person you only have text to effectively communicate so it's important to be able to make your points clear. My friendship with the friend I've been using to answer these questions is also my closest online friend and her friendship helped me through some hard times and knowing she's always in my corner makes me feel better when things in my life go south.
He was my closest friend for a good long while, including a very dark time in my life where I might not have come through if I didn't have somebody to lean on
It has help in bringing a positive mindset
Its made me happier and free to be chaotic and mess around with them
She’s really kind and supportive and I feel like I can talk to her about anything
My life feels significantly more important.
Yeah, it pretty much kept me sane because I didn't have many friends offline and with the pandemic, I hadn't seen them. I still haven't and we aren't speaking a lot, so for a while we was my only contact.
has given me a better perspective on a lot of things, and has been a great sounding board that doesn't judge me.
someone is always there. that can be alot at times
I widen my scope about all around the world
