What are your criterias?
Can internet friends exist?
Friends supports you even when you are wrong? Or friends corrects you when you are wrong?
Can friends have different beliefs and preferences?
Friends does not exist, only people with mutual benefits?
Absolutely, internet friends can exist. The rise of online communication platforms has made it easier than ever to build meaningful connections with people all over the world. These friendships can be just as real and fulfilling as traditional friendships, despite the lack of face-to-face interaction.
Both! True friends offer support and encouragement, but they also have the ability to challenge your ideas and offer honest feedback. They should be able to celebrate your successes and hold you accountable for your mistakes, fostering personal growth.
Of course! Friendships can thrive despite differences in beliefs, interests, or preferences. In fact, these differences can even enrich a friendship by exposing each person to new perspectives and experiences. However, it’s important to have some shared values and respect for each other’s differences.
While reciprocity and shared interests are important aspects of friendships, it’s not entirely accurate to say they only exist for mutual benefits. True friendships are built on genuine connection, care, and emotional support. While friends may benefit from each other in various ways, the core of the relationship is often about loyalty, trust, and understanding, not transactional benefits.
Remember, every friendship is unique and may develop differently. However, the points above offer a general perspective on these questions.
As long as there is mutual respect there is friendship.
No reason to gatekeep such words because its spread only does good.
Anyone that supports you when you are wrong isnt your friend period.
100% yes , anyone with a regular upbringing will find a friend in those that have different politics/beliefs/sports etc.
Common ground that ends up building a friendship (or something more for that matter) is allways possible if you dont look at others that think different than you as the enemy.
What a sad thing to even say, true friends exist and most times it involves doing things for the other person without any personal gain.
I lost count the number of events i would never attend if it wasnt for a friend.
Look.
A friend is simply someone who you happen to share interests with.
I’m not saying that meaningfull connections between not exist.
Just that those interests are precedent to it making you have an actual reason to talk to other people.
Anything more or less than that is delusion.
