Friend Questions (Part II): Physical Friend vs. Virtual Friend

December 17, 2022

Hi there everyone!

What's up? Friends, how do you do?

From FRIEND I remembered that Friend Questions Part II by @Coolmidwestguy has not yet been answered by me, hich is a sequel of his article friends questions. Amongst the responses I read to his part 2, I like response of @Amjad_Ali_Waince published as Friendship - A Estimable relationship.

Let's have my version of the questions.

Do you Value Physical Friend Over a Virtual Friend?

Friend is a friend, whether it's virtual or physical. To this point, everyone agrees. Right? About valuing, First I would say that each of the categories has benefits and own importance in its own place. I won't say that only physical friends are permanent, because some virtual friends can also be permanent and similarly physical friends can leave temporary. As Sir Bob aka Coolmidwestguy said to we can talk/chat and share our feelings with both type of friends, however with physical friends in person, whereas virtual behind a screen. Virtual are usually available anytime, on the other hand, physical friends are usually from the near by areas and surrounding.

So the question is Do I value physical friend over a virtual friend?

With no doubt, Yes I value physical friends over a virtual friends. The main difference is you can see their true and original face.

Have you had someone refer to you as a friend but you can't consider as them?

Hahaha, Yes. If my memory has been serving me correctly I guess it's just happened once when someone referred to me as a friend but I really didn't know her.

Let me tell you the story. There were a function in our relatives. I was with Mama. She was enjoying her old friends and I was with one of my cousins. Suddenly a girl of my age, came with her friends and said in Pashto (our mother tongue)

A JENAY PAKHAIR PAKHAIR DEERA MOODA BAD

English = Hey Buddy!! It's been a long since no see.

I even didn't know name of that girl who called me her buddy in front of her friends, that was strange.

However, I looked at her, didn't say much and smiled at her. Then she asked me a few questions like:

• What do I do?

• How's my daily routine going?

• What do I study?

• Which semester etc.

Thanks to my cousin for understanding our situations and my feeling. She said that she need some urgent help, and we left.

We were laughing at my condition and situation.

Better to search for new friends or just let it happen naturally.

I am by nature friendly and like new friends. Sometimes, I search for new friends while sometimes I let it happen naturally. But don't force someone to be my friend.

Have you ever met your virtual friend in real life?

Hmmmm, not yet. I haven't met any virtual friend in my real life.

Do you spend more time with your virtual friends or physical friends?

It totally depends. If I say with physical that won't be wrong, as I spend most of my time in university with physical friends, but sometimes also with virtual friends (from read dot cash, noise dot app etc.). Similarly, on weekend spend more time with virtual friends and less with physical.

Closing Thoughts

Sometimes, you want to share your feelings, which you can't share with physical friends so your prepare virtual friends. Most of the time you will want to have "you and friend time" so in this case you will prepare physical friends. Similarly, sometimes or in most cases you want to have company of physical friends.

Sometimes, you would want to met your virtual friends or want to have them in real life, and sometimes you can meet someone (physically) maybe a friend or a stranger, who will be really a headache for you and you won't want to meet them anymore or again.
