Have you ever felt more connected to a friend that you have known a lot less in time than your longest friendship?

Hard to judge those instantaneous connections sometimes they flourish, but many times they die out because they are not built on anything solid like a longer history.

@SW-User true but sometimes they are built on more truths and honesty than we have had with others.
SW-User
@Primnproper Possibly and it could very well be true, but I wonder without being able to test that apparent honesty and truth telling how'd I really know they are being sincere? It seems to me, my opinion only, that it takes time to establish a true connection.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@SW-User understood, but i don't believe time is the test of honesty, I believe it's when the honest answers are not the ones you want to hear but they tell it to you straight anyway..

Yes, most of the long-term friendships have been affected by time and distance.....some people I’m in contact with regularly can develop closer connections than some who have known me as long as anyone.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@DragonFruit totally understand this.

i felt connected to a person online like really fast. there was a lot of similarities.. unfortunately lies and behavior ruined that friendship.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@SW-User the one thing in life I cannot tolerate....lies..no matter how hard the truth may be to hear, that I can always deal with.
SW-User
same i can deal with harsh reality i can not accept lies.. there is no reason for it.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@SW-User my sentiments exactly, give me a harsh truth any day over a lie and I will rise above it and make sense of it.
mrmoose · 70-79, M
yep, just a few times
mrmoose · 70-79, M
@Primnproper very good friends

Primnproper · 56-60, F

mrmoose · 70-79, M

totally, ive only known you a few years but youre such a wonderful genuine friend & i feel so close to you, it feels like weve known each other all our lives rather than a few years

Absopositively. Not often that it happens. But, once in a while someone comes into your life & there's an instant connection that you don't feel with anyone else.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@JerseyGal very true..
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
Yes. I love my oldest friend as a sister. I'm also not super close anymore, but then again I'm also not close with my siblings.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Starcrossed relationships are there to puzzle us..
Adogslife · 61-69, M
All the time. Real life is too narrow. It's one of the reasons I like meeting people here.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Adogslife sometimes our own truths are easier with shorter acquaintances which lead to stronger friendships.
Noble · 56-60, M
Yes, sometimes that'll occur, and it's a beautiful thing🤗
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Noble it is to be treasured..

@Primnproper Well, I hope so too. I like to know how it feels ☺
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@hminuk well it feels like a blessing having that one person you will always get the absolute truth from and someone that does not judge you even if they may not always agree with what you do.
hminuk · 61-69, M
@Primnproper Sounds good ☺
Oh thank God I'm not alone!
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Teggy you're never alone my sweet..
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Rhonda it's strange the connections we form..
Rhonda · F
@Primnproper strange but nice too. You can never have too many friends
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Rhonda very true..
Primnproper · 56-60, F

I sure have. I always tell people if you are always honest with who you are, then it will show sooner rather than later. Thank you.
