After continually being hurt by people online who I thought were legitimately my friends, I'm starting to subscribe more and more to this school of thought. And it's not because of my age or that I don't 'understand' the internet, it's because the people that are there for me IRL are always there for me. They're not looking for something to satisfy their own selfish needs, they're legitimately there for me in good times and bad.

I'm tired of being hurt by people who claim to care for me, which is why I've been gradually shirking away from online communities.

Honestly, you might just be making friends with the wrong people online.

I've had friendships with people I met online that I've maintained for over a decade now. It's absolutely possible to find genuine people out there. But it's just like real life: you have to be selective.

I agree with anon above, it really depends on who you're making friends with.

And some of us have had the opposite experience, where the people we knew IRL left us and our online friends were always there.

I have probably more IRL friends now then online friends, but my online friends are some of my oldest friends and helped me get through rough times.

I think the general rule is just that either online or IRL you need to be careful and try to find people with similar morals to your own.
