Friend Questions Part II Hello back again with some question prompts. This prompt will include some more friend questions that I shared awhile back. I'll give you my answers and if you decide to use them just mention me and this article in yours. If you have forgotten or haven't seen the original questions you can check them out here. Let's get to them. https://read.cash/@Coolmidwestguy/friend-questions-8e38f8dd Do you value physical friends over virtual friends? Sure they are different. Physical friends you can actually meet up with and see. Virtual friends you chat/talk with behind a screen. To be honest, a friend is a friend right? Virtual friends seem to be easier to contact and communicate with. Often in the real world we do most of our communication face to face with our friends. So conflicting schedules sometimes gets in our way to communicate. I just find I don't spend a lot of time texting/chatting to my physical friends on my phone like my virtual friends. I value both not one over the other. Have you had someone refer to you as a friend but you don't consider them as one? I think this happens to people more than we think. I've ran across it a few times. I'll tell you of one instance in my past. There was this guy, who would be a stretch to say we were acquaintances. I worked with him for a week. We talked to each other maybe 3 times. Anyways I ran into him months later at the gym. He was working out with a friend and came up to me. I was expecting,"Hey you remember me ?" Nope much more, he introduced his friend to me like we were some long last pals, haha. The worst part is I didn't even remember his name. Talk about embarrassing and weird at the same time. Better to look for new friends or just let it happen naturally? I think a lot of us have wanted to build our friend network at some point in our lives. I think most want to gain more friends in their teenage years. I'm content where I'm at, making new friends not a problem though. I personally would rather cross paths naturally. I'm not saying don't make new friends if your looking. We just cant be weird thinking everyone wants to be our friend. Don't force yourself on someone. I'd also say don't invest so much time doing so and especially don't expect the same in return when your just meeting someone. Have you ever met a virtual friend in real life? Well I don't consider online dating as such so I have to say no. Curious for those who have though. Were they who you were expecting them to be? Are you better or worse friends with them now? Do you spend more time with your virtual friends or physical friends? Well I think this will depend where we are at in our lives. Maybe for a high school or college student your physical friends are everywhere. For someone who is older or has a family of their own there may be a divide if they are engaged with online communities. I have both and I'll say I communicate more on the virtual side. After all early in the morning or late at night we're not communicating with our physical friends usually. Often I spend time with physical friends on weekends or special circumstances or events. Final thoughts Back before the online age became what it is today our friends surrounded us. Now we can be friends with people who we may never get to meet in the real world. It's really up to us who we want to be friends with. It can be virtually, physically, or both. That's all I have for today, take care, and be safe.
