First, making friends online is fast. I have a very developed network now, so we often chat with friends from far away on the network, and at the same time we know many strangers on the network. Many people deliberately hide their shortcomings when chatting online, so we often make many friends because of chatting online. Most of these friends are confined to the internet, because we hardly meet each other. We only occasionally talk to each other about the unhappiness in life and share the recent happy things. When the other person needs help, we will also say something to comfort him. When chatting with strangers online, you can become friends with each other within one day, and then you can continue chatting every day, but this kind of friend is limited to online. If you really meet privately, you may have to get along again to know whether the other person is suitable for being friends.
Second, the quality of offline friends is higher. The speed of making friends offline is very slow, because each of us is real offline. When chatting with each other, the other person can clearly know our occupation and our personality, so he will also judge whether we are qualified to be friends with him. Offline friends, we can often meet, we will often go out to play together, and we will change from ordinary friends to sincere friends. So I think the quality of making friends offline is much higher than online, and we can really feel the existence of this friend.
Just looking at the numbers, we know more online friends than offline. But personally, I prefer to make friends offline, because all the friends left behind are real. We are in the same city, and there will be more places to help each other in the future. Such friends will also make us feel safe.
