"Where to draw the line when it comes to trusting online and offline friends (real life)"
All of us have online friends and off line friends. Who do you trust more?
Well, I trust my online friends more....
Why?
simple reason..The online friends do not have any other agenda......there are no expectations in online friendship.....I can share so many things with my online friends, and they wouldnt go and tattle it to anyone๐..
how do you know how and when to trust people you never met?
Point is, none of us really divulge the most important secrets or troubles when we arent fully confident about the person's loyalty๐..Its not that I chat with someone today, and tomorrow I'm going to tell that person all my troubles....now hypothetically i have become bankrupt...if i share my tribulations with me real life friends, they might have many reservations..they might think that i am asking them for monetary help...besides, its really hard for real life friends to keep secrets especially relatives..confide something in them, and the first thing they do is go and tattle it to a third person, and my whole problem will be blown out of proportion by the grapevine๐คข
How much can you trust them?
well, trust is something that has to won over by the other person...so their loyalty to you can help you decide as to how much you can trust them....
What are the risks of online friendships?
well, unless you arent dating someone online, and unless that person doesnt expect anything from you, i dont think online friendship entails any risk.....but if the person constantly pressurizes you to meet him/her in person,asks you for personal details like telephone number.house address etc ,it implies that that friendship is getting a tad risky....the biggest problem is the authenticity of the person.....
Are offline friends always more trustworthy and reliable than online friends?
YES..provided the online friend is a good one,......it varies from person to person.....many of the real life friends turn out to be the biggest knaves,and that can happen in the case of online friendship too.......
