Do you trust your internet friends?

[KaydeeKrunk]

I feel like I can trust strangers on the internet more so than people I know in real life. I honestly usually trust my online friends, but I mean they can be 60 y/o men or something for all I know.

 

[Hulaette]

I trust only 2 people on the internet and they are my closest online friends. KaydeeKrunk is very trustworthy

 

[Fleshy]

I guess I only have one actual "internet friend" and I trust her completely. I don't think internet friends are "strangers" at all.

I trust other people I speak to on the internet too,

 

[RainbowCherry]

I wouldn't tell them really private stuff, but I trust them mostly.

I have a few on line friends I really trust, I deleted the ones I was not sure about.

 

[LambdaDelta]

I never trust my internet

 

[Mao]

internet friendship never really lasts long with me, we just drift apart for one reason or another

but i do really miss two people in this site but im scared to talk to them again. i told them almost anything

 

[namiieco]

I usually avoid making friends over the internet, but people on The Bell Tree Forums are all usually good people.

 

[N a t]

I try to trust most of if not all of my internet friends, but I'll always have tiny suspicions, because they're still strangers. If you can fully trust me though, then I can definitely trust you.

 

[Taj]

I think it's fair to give people a chance but if I notice suspicious things I block them out.

 

[Invisible again]

Ehhh, I wouldn't tell them any personal info. Better safe than sorry, you know?

 

[lizzy541]

it depends but i can definitely name a few people that i've known for awhile who i consider close friends

 

[Xylia]

I only trust one person I've met online but I talk to daily and skype/FaceTime with. and he's my boyfriend who I have mutual friends with and our family members know about our relationship.

 

[Amichann]

I put all my online friends at the same level as my real life friends, I trust them all completely. Making friends irl and online is the same,you just have to be careful.

Well my closest online friends I've known for 4-5 years now, and I do trust them. I've met one of them in real life quite a few times, and I stayed at her house for a sleepover earlier this year. Honestly, it was one of the best experiences in my life, and I think it's great being able to have friends that live all over the country. I'm quite fortunate my closest friends tend to live relatively nearby.

I haven't met the other two due to unfortunate circumstances, sometimes things haven't worked out. But I do really care about them a lot, and I hope we can remain close friends for as long as we can.

Apart from that, I guess I don't really trust other people. I think it's really obvious when someone is lying about who they are, though.

mmmn, not a whole lot. they're my friends and all, but .... i don't trust them enough to reveal my real name, address, etc etc etc to them. whenever they compliment me or my skills, my mind tells me otherwise. i tend to be distrustful of everybody due to the abuse i went through as a child, so i tend to take everybody's words with a grain of salt.

 

[ellarella]

i'm pretty trustful of almost everyone, including internet friends, probably almost to a fault. i haven't had any reason not to be... yet!

 

[MayorJudyOfZootopia]

YES!

 

[LethalLulu]

Some I do, some I don't. I remember way back on gaia, my friend's and I would go on each other's accounts and there was never any issues.
