In today’s digital world, I believe online friendships can be just as meaningful as real-life ones — but they do have different strengths and limits.
I’ve made close online friends through shared hobbies like gaming and language exchange. These relationships are based on deep conversations, mutual support, and shared interests — not location. One of my best online friends lives in another country, and we talk more regularly than I do with some classmates!
That said, online friendships can lack physical presence, which sometimes creates distance. You don’t get to share everyday moments like walking to class or grabbing coffee together. And, of course, there’s always the risk of people not being who they claim to be.
Still, online friends can be real friends — especially when the connection is consistent, respectful, and emotionally supportive. Many people have found comfort and community online, especially those who feel isolated offline.
So yes, online friendships may look different, but they can still offer real value and emotional closeness — sometimes even more than people we meet in person.
