The people we meet here in FuBar Land all have their own various reasons for spending time here....some have young families & spend a lot of time at home, some are unemployed, some are here simply to meet people, and some seem to have reasons that are totally beyond me lol.
The fact of the matter is we make friends here & get to know people... Well as much as they allow us to anyway. Some of them might have funny avatars, animals, appliances etc, but behind these pictures are people... I read a post on someone's page today which said "It's FuBar, not real life". Well this may be true, i wonder if that person realizes, that the people who come here are in fact "real" people.
You might be reading this & thinking well of course i knew that, but do people sometimes forget? Do they get caught up in silly games or dramas & think, "so what, it's only the internet"(i've said it myself).. Because yes, that being true, the people you are communicating with are still real with real feelings & real lives.
I've been pondering how i see my FuBar friends & in all honesty i see the ones i've grown close to as 'real' friends, not just internet friends.... Ok, i might not be the easiest person to get to know & i admit i do take my time getting to know people here, but i'm actually like that in real life. I don't rush into friendships... Yeah trust issues, i know, but if i call you a friend i don't do it lightly. Im the same here, as in real life, i have a wide circle of casual friends, but only a few 'close' friends. So if you feel you don't know the real Hunni yet, don't worry im just taking my time!
How do you feel about your FuBar friends? Do you trust that they are being "real" with you or do you always hold a little back, just in case? Are you "real" with your friends or do you just come here for a laugh & a giggle & a bit of escapism?
