The idea seems to be that since people on the Internet can lie without being caught, the people who call themselves your friends on the Internet are all liars.

[(Anonymous)]

This attitude interests me because it's logical, and it's important for people to take it into consideration and behave with caution. Yet, at the same time, I've found very few complete liars in my 14 years of hanging out with people on the internet. There are people who troll, of course, and people who make up stories to impress others (and, hey, people do that in real life, too!), but people tend not to lie about who they actually are. And if they have lied about something that pertains to their identity, they tend to come clean about it as soon as they start getting close to someone.

We're social creatures. Most of us are looking to make connections. And you can't make a true connection if your entire persona is a lie.

In fairness, there were a couple studies done...a few years back [iirc] that stated that people were less likely to lie online because the chances of ever meeting someone they'd met there were slim - so a lot of the shame that gets attached to various things in real life just wasn't there to motivate it.
