physical contact, a greater variety of ways to interact. You can do online activities with offline friends, but it is hard to do offline activities with online friends.
we can actually see each other face to face, they know how i am in different environments whereas online, i have more ease at making myself look better
company
Your offline friends feel more "real" and you have that connection between them. You can also meet up with them in person to hang out
More intimate interactions with visual and emotional ques.
I have no offline friends, it's been a few years since I did, so I can't really recall.
I don't know because my online friends are my offline friends
They're not "online friends", they're my friends. You literally just asked about that.
Physical companionship
My offline friends share my environment which means that I can talk about that with them (e.g. country, weather, school, etc.) and they’ve known me for longer.
We’re closer
Face to face contact
physical touch
Physical proximity.
more in-person interactions, usually trust them more with sensitive information
None
I can spend real time with them face to face
You can see them in real life and have more shared experiences
I can meet up with them in person, they feel like they’re a part of my normal life like they can meet my parents or I can post about them on my social media and other people know about them. I feel like I can safely tell them about my life and not be scared I’m going to be doxxed or something.
they live close to me
