Those who are active on the Internet - using blogs or social networks - usually have virtual friends. However, do not underestimate these faceless computer users, such friends are sometimes no less important than acquaintances from offline life.
Real friends
A modern person who lives in a big city and has to travel huge distances every day does not have much time to meet his friends. And some of the acquaintances have completely moved to live in other cities and countries, and they manage to see them over a cup of coffee only once every few years. In order not to lose touch with interesting people, always be aware of their affairs, share your news, communication can be transferred to the Internet. Virtual correspondence will only complement your friendship and allow you not to get lost.
Friends with the same interests
If you have an unusual hobby, it is almost impossible to find like-minded people among colleagues or neighbors along the staircase. In such a situation, virtual friends can become an outlet. It is enough to register on a thematic resource dedicated to your hobby, or go to the corresponding group on a social network, and you will be surrounded by a crowd of like-minded people with whom you can discuss all the nuances of your common hobby. For those who do not have enough communication on topics of interest in the real world, virtual friends can become very close. In addition, such acquaintances often spill over into ordinary life: like-minded people get together to do what they are interested in: ride bicycles, fly kites or copy the costumes of popular characters.
Fans
A group of virtual buddies can help boost self-esteem. Moreover, it is easier to maintain a beautiful image on the Internet than in real life. Share your creativity: upload poems, songs, stories, art photos and your own. If you have a modicum of ability, there are people who will love it.
Support Group
You slipped on the ice and hit your elbow painfully, at work the chef gave so many tasks that you will have to devote the whole weekend to this, the cat chose your dress as a sleeping place, which you prepared in order to wear to a party, and now you do not know, where to go? Of course, you can complain about the misfortunes that happened to you to your mom, your loved one or a friend, but write a post in an online diary, and in the comments you will probably have a dozen sympathizers who will regret it and advise on how best to clean the velvet from cat hair. However, virtual friends can do more than just verbalize their involvement. It is not uncommon for a person sitting on the other side of the monitor and familiar with just a couple of messages to lend money or help with finding a job.
