what's the value of an internet friendship?

(Anonymous) 2012-10-21 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I see people crying 'waaah my friend does things I don't like, we can't be friends anymore!1!' and 'waaah my internet friend doesn't invest as much as I in our relationship, obviously s/he's a bad friend!1!' and the like and I wonder: what is wrong with you people, how old are you, don't you need to reevaluate your priorities or something?

I keep wondering the same. I mean, I enjoy the company of my friends, but I don't think that they owe me anything.

I think that if I've gone out of my way to be there for my friend when they need it, but they always have an excuse not to do the same for me, that's usually a signal that this person is more trouble than they're worth. Hard to see how that's "entitled," as you seem to want to spin it.

I think...it depends on circumstance. For example, I've run across people who are racist, and I didn't find out that they were until after forming a friendship with them. At that point 'My friend does something I don't like' becomes a very valid reason to end a friendship, internet or otherwise, imo. As for the 'invest as much'...idk. It depends on the friendship. If one person *is* investing more, then they're the person who should back off - but if the issue is 'We made plans, and then they ditched because 'I got something better to do''...that's still being a pretty shitty friend.

If you mean people who whine about how much they don't like a friendship to a third party while refusing to actually do anything about it, like breaking it off, then yes, they need to grow up or shut up, whichever.
