Why is it easier to be friends with so many people online than it is to be friends with one in person?
My mouth gets me in trouble. It's probably a big reason why I'm a writer. I love the way I can write something
However, once you hit that button, you have to be OK with it being in black and white. But I think because it's "permanent" so to speak, people are more careful.
In person, you have to actually plan a date and time to meet where you're both free. And you not only have to be cognizant of what you say, but you also have to worry about what you look like, where you go, what you do, etc. It's a lot of pressure!
There's less pressure online. You don't have to respond right away, you can be in your underwear or however you're most comfortable, and you can be online talking to or messaging friends from anywhere and at any time.
Plus, you can talk to several people at one time - even if they're in different social circles or different countries - to keep in touch.
So why is it easier to be friends with more people online than one in person? It's less pressure!
