No, I'm just generally overly cautious and paranoid and don't want to get caught in some unnecessary drama. I also believe that the best friendships form through doing things together in real life and real time, not through exchanging words and pictures in online space. How can you build a real trust over that?
@CrazyMusicLover me too - overly cautious and paranoid at this point. but i do have a few online friends i trust.

@CrazyMusicLover The best connections don't need pictures exchanged. Words can and do offer more, and once those are seen together, then maybe pictures? Words offer much more towards trust when they are felt. But if you are generally overly cautious and paranoid, you may not allow yourself this.... (and I'm not saying it's unwise of you, or unhealthy, and it's rare..... but connection is rare in person, too)

@SW-User I just miss the body language and other non-verbal parts of interaction. They are very important for me to decide if I can trust someone or not.

@CrazyMusicLover As anyone and likewise. They are our intrinsic language in words before words. Beyond different customs, between cultures, I work with many different cultures... a smile is a smile, and you can just read body language to feel what is not put into words (trusted) so often.... and the silence between two people talking in only body language is one almost no language can match....
