I have another online friend, we are very close. (at least I thought) .
We chat with each other on the telephone, give each other packages, etc etc. She lives in another country but she's like a sister to me. We've been friends for four years now. Anyway, someone blocked me on Facebook for discussing religious beliefs and they took offense, and then they proceeded to block my girlfriend as well, because of my views even though she doesn't even hold the same views.
Point is, that my girlfriend started "crying" all over the place, posting her pity me story that she got blocked because of "my internet friend" (me). I don't blame her for "crying" - she was after all blocked for something she didn't do and she did like that person's page.
But, why does the term "internet friend" bug me? It's not like I don't spend money on this chick when her birthday and christmas come around, and vice versa.
Could I be disconnected from reality? Because that is after all what she is... we never met, but still I wonder why that term "internet friend" bothers me. Has anyone here felt the same way?
