I have not made friendships that only exist in cyberspace. I
usually find it hard to believe people online, since they can be anyone they
want to be. For example on my facebook account, I won’t add people unless I know
them. I have had many people try to add me and I just delete them. Once time I had
a guy from Spain message me asking me to accept his friend request and that he
wanted to get to know me better since he would be coming to California for
school. I was rather disturbed by the guys message and blocked him. I mean he
could have been nice, but the way he asked me and what he wrote in his message
was creepy. The internet can be a scary thing for people meeting other people,
since like I said before, people can become anyone they want to be. It is also
hard to tell if someone is creditable or not. I have however keep friendships
with people that I no longer see face to face in cyberspace. Also I have been
able to reconnect with people and maintain a friendship with them. But as for exclusively
making new friendships with people online that I have never met before, I have
not. It is something that might be nice to try out in terms of a blogging site,
but not for social media in my opinion. You never know who is a stalker and
what they are really like.
