is it hard making online friends?

Sort of. It's the timing, and trying to catch up with them, or they're busy writing someone else, which is fine, but you never know when they're on, or one person is tied up trying to answer all their mail. It's getting to feel more impersonal.

yeah feels like you are just one of many with people like theres no closeness.
Yes. Exactly. I'm really missing what I considered a very close friend, but got blocked because I had received about 5 emails all at once and never did get a chance to get back to my friend, and I really enjoyed our correspondence. I really hated that. They were very important to me. I just couldn't keep up. @theowl:

its like social media has taken away the closeness of friendships and relationships. people get bombarded with responses well if you are female at least and feels like you cant even be able to make a friend because they are constant talk with a lot of people and you dont even get to have good convos.
@theowl: I agree wholeheartedly. This is what it has come to. There are days I've felt a resemblance of closeness, but then we're all stirred into one pot and get lost again. I was thinking on this when your question popped up, feeling lonely because of what you just described. It's definitely messed up. Unless you find like one good friend, then you'd have to ignore the rest. It desensitizes people. What a shame.
