Do you consider online friends as you do your “physical “ friends?

I think that everyone knows what you're talking about. Well, I consider them so, or rather try to act like it is. There was this person on here who talked about ending her life continously so I objected to it because it's indeed not something one likes to read continously when one also know that some on here are really struggling with life. In short, one tries to comfort friends or rather make their lives not extra difficult. That's the essence of what it should be like, I believe
