Do you talk to your SW friends the same way you talk to people in real life?

I try my best to. But surprisingly, I'm starting to realize that trying to be a decent friend online is a lot harder than I expected. It's a challenge to get your point across and be understood for what you meant. That, and a huge timezone gap. But I still think it's worth it. It's an interesting experience to say the least. :)

Totally agree.. its less of whats usually expected.

@benhailin Agreed. It's a challenge to show empathy.
benhailin · 41-45, M
@Casheyane Mostly its because the 'empathy' comes with a baggage or expecting something in return.

@benhailin You make a valid point.

Yezzz....the same ...sometimws I talk more in here....
NankerPhelge · 61-69, M
Yes, I do. In fact, I have several real-life friends on SW.

@Casheyane That one won't be seeing any more of me, I wasted no time in blocking him. I've passed his name on to my friends so they will report him if they see him causing any more trouble.

@NankerPhelge Yes, I do like the block function. Haha. :)

@Casheyane It's useful in times of troll trouble, but a lot of people on this site are weirdos who abuse and misuse the block function because they think they are too mighty to accept the truth when someone shoves it in their face the way I love to hammer it home. How mischievous can they get? Lol :)

If you think that is bad, try to be a male who indentifies as female (me) and try not to feel prejudged even though your reputation here is clean as a whistle and my motives are good!
I am much closer to my online friends generally speaking, so yes I’d say it’s different.

@TheMagicPill That's nice. In my case, I'm actually closer to my real friends. I've only recently joined SW so haven't really made "close" friends yet. I do have a made a few good acquaintances though. I think it would be nice if I can find someone I can click with.

I do, but I barely interact with people in the real world either. 😂

@Myzery Are you the shy type? :)

Actually it is a drain to type your point across so it is tiring. I like that you can think about your replies and take some time to put it across clearly but it takes up so much time. And sometimes i just feel like having a face to face conversation instead.
Casheyane · F
@majesticsea Yes I get your point. Sometimes I'm too tired to think of something to say. I'd be best to talk face to face. But then that defeats the purpose of online anonymous chat. #Struggles
majesticsea · 31-35, F
Exactly! Haha.
I talk to everyone the same
SW-User
I’m a lot more open here
veejay · 36-40, F
No, I talk more here and as you said it’s really harder. It’s tricky to express everything in texts and too many justifications follows the misunderstandings.
desukron · 26-30, M
idk as i've never had a real life friend. kus shy
I do. I’m a little more demonstrative here in terms of virtual hugs. 😊
Casheyane · F
@bijouxbroussard Haha. Understandable :) You can find a lot of cute hugs gif in the internet.
