Discussion The pros and cons of online friends

[deleted fren]

Pros
•Online friends are people you're more like to genuinely share interests/ personality traits with so you don't have to hide your true thoughts

• it's much easier to find someone you can connect to online compared to IRL, seeing as how most normies are more likely to socialize while incels such as yourself are more likely to rot online


Cons

• despite being easier to find someone you connect to online, it's still difficult, especially with the mass censorship of modern social media platforms
• online connection just doesn't feel the same as irl connection. Certain things are far more entertaining to do irl in the presence of someone vs online.
• you're more likely to encounter a creep. Especially in more niche spaces.
• again, because having a text conversation for example just doesn't feel the same it's easy to grow distant unless you're consistently doing things together

All in all I'd say if you're looking for friends, online is a better method. The chances are the people you meet IRL will be normies who want nothing to do with you. Finding someone who's not repulsed by you, shares similar interests and connects to you beyond that is like finding a needle in a haystack.


I would say personally that I prefer forums like this where other members are more so acquaintances who you can casually engage in conversation with without commitment. Mentally I am burned out to the extent I don't want more focused and consuming friendships.

I wish it was easy to find like minded people in real life.

Maybe it could've been in the past. Now almost all of our ike are terminally online.

Pros

depends on who you are. There's plenty of members here who've been able to make friends. I'm in the same boat as you where I'm incapable of connecting or engaging with someone online in a one on one capacity without being overly boring and robotic.

I don't have any online or real life friends, but I am glad in a way. They all switch up in the end if you are not of value. I'd rather stay far from their wickedness. I rebuke them and their satanic actions.

Where the fuck are you finding irl or online friends lol? Most people today hate one another and even among circles of like-minded hobbies, most people are only there to get something out of it. There is no such thing as a friend anymore. Shoot politicans and shoot CEOs.

And if they stop talking to you one day, you never know what's going on

They could be busy
Lost their phone
Or dead
And you would never know

Online friends are BORING

Ideally, IRL is definitely better but finding them online is not only way easier, but there are very few of us in the Inceldom who aren't stuck to being terminally online. But yeah, online doesn't hit the same like IRL.
