Yes
She's a good friend I feel like I can really talk to about anything
Honestly he is the closest person in my life
He is older than me so he is kinda like a big brother to me so I ask him questions if I am unsure.
Hasn’t really had much of an impact
He has taken away my state of being always alone, and given me a positive feelings, which I rarely have.
good advice? we talk all the time and it's nice having a confidant, and they get the same from me. its nice having a friend i could 'bring with me' when i moved out too. like, we're already used to being distance friends so it was nice to have thatsecurity when i was alone at college.
she’s just like any other friend, so she means a lot simply because of that
He has undoubtedly made me a better person. When we first met we had opposing political beliefs and he was a really well thought out and intelligent perspective contrary to my own. With his help I learned that I was actually wrong about many of my preconceived notions of the way the world works. I’m better politically and personally because of the information my friend has shared with me and who my friend is.
I think the depth and topics of our conversations is something that's difficult for me to get with offline friends, and I really like being able to be excited about things that my offline friends don't know about/aren't interested in. We were also very open about our respective mental illnesses from the get-go, so she's very understanding & willing to give advice when I don't feel well, and I do the same for her. That's an incredibly difficult topic to talk about with offline friends so it's a bit of a relief to have someone who understands and won't find it awkward or want to change the topic.
Made it happier
We are currently dating, so yes
Had someone to play and talk with during a rough time in life. He eventually cut contact (not just with me) and it has saddened me a bunch.
positively impacted my life since we met through mutual fondness of tv and movies
Communicate more in an online platform and cultural exchange
She really helped me through a hard time when I was young, and now years later it's nice to have someone who went through the same things as me and understands it more than my IRL friends do.
He's a really great friend who will give me advice on any issue
Can tell him everything really, feeling very cared for
If I'm feeling down I'm most likely to talk to them about it. Its just like someone who listens all the time but in a different way than offline friends.
I learned that I don’t need him and I learned to stand up for my morals and values, and that I hate people who try to fix others
