Online friendships are totally worth it as long as you're not compensating your real life with it
I've been on twitter for over 5 years and have made many friends on it throughout the years.
My main purpose of using it was to "go through" the COVID period which was highly isolating socially and mentally for me.
I usually see a negative notion regarding online friendships but online friendships to me has been quite fulfilling, they have given me confidence, a place to vent out safely, have "nerd" interests like Anime/manga which is still not accepted everywhere.
It's totally fine as long as you're not isolating yourself socially in real life. like I hang out with my colleagues in weekdays. On weekends when I'm usually free and tired, I scroll through my twitter feeds and interact with my mutuals.
So if you have online friends, have them and what's better is what if some of them are from the same state of your country, you have the chance to convert them into your irl friends. #relationships source
