Is it normal to want to spend more time with internet friends than real friends

so i started going to this website where i meet people all around the world, and you don't know who they are at all. i really enjoy going to it but i've seen myself start spending more time with the internet friends than with my real friends.

    But in real life if they piss you off you can dropkick their throat, which is better than breaking your computer

    Yes, it's normal. I don't consider the people I know outside the Internet to be my friends. They're just people I know although I don't treat them as less or ignore them, I just don't see them the same way. I have a little soft spot for my Internet friends.

      Damn, what will you do if you meet one of your internet friends IRL by accident? Will you no longer be friends with him/her?

    It happens, but I wouldn't call it normal or entirely healthy.

    I spend more time on here than I do with friends, but if I had any friends in my city, the preference would be to spend time with them.

    I have recently gotten close to several internet friends...it beats the real ones who cause nothing but misery and strife at times!

    I voted, but you should edit the options before it gets moderated.

    "YES, is it normal" or "NO, It's NOT normal"

        Mmm... I'm currently on a secret mission, Shuggah-boy... my superiors have been keeping me busy on the sly, performing all sorts of sexy-spy-stuff. I cannot tell anything about it. Ssshh... *whispers* but I promise I will take some pics with that microcam. ^.~
