Is it normal that i think is it normal users can be great friends in real life?

Well, since people here are actual people just in a digital format, there should be no problem

There are a few people on here that would be nice to spend a day with! I'd like to get an idea of the tone they use to speak and I'd like to see their mannerisms.

Online relationships are only so fulfilling!

They'd be a great many IINers I'd love to meet up with IRL :)

It would be kind of cool! I keep trying to go into the member chat but I feel too awkward and leave without saying anything...haa... I don't personally know anyone here, but I think some of them would be awesome in real life.

If I met someone online in real life my mind would be shattered. My internet self is not my true self and in my mind its two completely different things. I prefer my internet self to my real self. These masks give me peace of mind. Since it separates me from reality. Its impossible to destroy my internet self since if you do I pick another mask. When the masks run out that is when I will be forced to deal with reality. A thing I have tried so very hard to ignore. In reality I am nothing and I realize it. On the Internet I am still nothing but I can put on any mask I like. The masks bring me peace and eases my suffering. Also gives me somewhere to focus all my madness into. Though one day there will be no more masks to pick up. In reality my mind is going everywhere at once and it feels like it will split open. Online its all focused into a mission. The mask is a filter and it keeps my mind stable. However I am slowly slipping away. All the masks hang in my closet and in some way a reflection of part of me. Yet none of them are really me. I am not real I am nothing but a fantasy. The personified masks are an extension but the real me no one will ever know. This is why I am insane. Always trying to find the perfect mask which will become the new me. The me I truly want to be. Not the me that exists in reality. That person is simply someone looking for more masks to hide behind. Without the masks I am simply a ghost. A ghost without a purpose, without anywhere to go.

Not sure they'd want me as a friend. I've been called an ugly nerd by random anonymous losers.

I don't play well with others... :}

Sure, I don't see why not. There are a lot of users on here that I wouldn't mind getting to know Offline.

I can't say "Yes" and consider myself honest.

People disappoint me and fall in my eyes. It's why I don't let anyone get close to me; not out of fear of getting hurt but because all things lose their glory upon a closer inspection.

Yeah, I think a lot of IIN users would be great friends in real life. I see it as quite a shame that the people I get on with very well here will most likely never see me, yet that goes against the anonymity we're supposed to have.

I'd love to hang out with some of these peeps.

I don't see why not. Some users are pretty amazing people. There are a few I consider friends, and some are just friends I haven't got to know yet.

Yeah, definitely. I think I would much prefer IIN users in real life. I'm not sure if they'd like me, but I'd probably like most of them. I rarely come across people in real life who I dislike and don't get on with, yet online it's different.

I think it would be extremely easy for people here to make me laugh in real life. It's very easy to do anyway, and in real life it's easy to make me cry with laughter. Yet no one's ever had that effect on me here, despite people on here being much, much funnier than people in real life. Although, weirdly, that's a bit too much for me, and it's not something I can laugh at much (although I'm definitely amused by it and appreciate it). I have a backwards sense of humour.

So, for me, probably. I much prefer real people. I think a lot of the users would be better to me in real life, because they're probably a bit common, which I like. Also, there are quite a lot of users who I have stuff in common with, and I don't get that much in real life, so I think that would be great. The only problem would be that I don't think some people would like me as much in real life as they like me on here.:P

Definitely, I have gotten closer to a few IINers and if it wasn't because of the location, I'd be friends with them in RL in a heartbeat. There are some incredibly amazing people here who I love with all my tits.
