How real are the connections you make if you never meet the people you've ma!
Question: What are they worth in the end?
Answers: What are they worth in the end?
I have two friends in the line of which you speak about. One lives in Chicago and the other in Florida. Without using names I will refer them as such; Chicago; Florida. I met Chicago and Florida the same year and have had great conversations with both of them.
I am in the Army and am always moving around and more so than the average military personel. Yet Chicago has always been a phone call away and speaks with me as though we have been conected for a life time, even though we have never seen each other in a physical sense.
The same with Florida; Florida always writes me and at least once a week. Both of them, I have known now for about five years and the both of them relate to me with family issues, the same as I do them.
What it is to me is that no matter who you meet or where they are met at, a connection can be only as strong as the individuals desire to be. People always get what they look for and we always get what we deserve. But of course this is how I see it. To say in short now, the connections with, Chicago, Florida and I are very real connections even though we have only met on the computer. In the end my two friends are worth more to me than friends I have in the physical world and I think it because we know we can share ourselves with each other and not have to worry about it going any further. If you feel a strong connection, then it will be; if you feel a week connection, then it will be.
WHo knows........
as real as you make them.
not sure wat u mean.... but like internet friends? i hav a lot of those, and i think they kno me jst as well as my real life friends and they're pretty kool :P internet connections can mean something special depending on the ppl involved :)
I guess it depends on what you take from it, and if it has any real effect in your life. If you think of people who you know only through networking sites or Yahoo Answers or other similar sites, then I guess the connections are very real.
I am not sure about "in the end" but for instance, I'm on level 7 and I'm very private on my myspace but I've accepted a couple people from here on my page and we've become pretty good friends.......things in common -- people to talk to . IN THE END -- you mean when we die? If we based everything on when we die, we'd never do ANYTHING and we'd just plain die.
they are as real as you believe them to be, the same can be said for real life connections
any connection, any shared feelings and memories no matter what they are , are worth it in the end
With that question in mind can you imagine if yahoo answers held one very large party for all of us? We could all wear our avatar picture as tags. Do you think everyone would be as you imagined?Its an idea..................
they are as real as you want then to be and their worth is how much value you place on them. you decide.
Some are real so real its almost like we're blood related...while others are fickle...or rather mere acquaintances with whom I say hi and bye
Not really real, but I feel as if they are. It makes me feel not all alone, that I have someone I can converse with. It lightens up my day and yes I feel it's worth it.
They are real for me. Real enough to hold me in place. Perhaps I am wrong to even think that others might feel the same way in return..but I hope not.
What are they worth..I'm still here aren't I?
:)
There is a young lady further above me who has done her damnedest to keep me anchored today. How could I dismiss something like that as meaningless?
Some people you talk to everyday...more than your offline friends.
I really care about some of my contacts, and they know who they are.
I feel connections are real if you give them that "power" in your life. I keep coming back here to see what others are saying, to affirm what I feel and think. I come here to see the same ole same same ole's and get a smile, tear or just a "What?" I have found that many of us are wanting to reach out to others and it's safer here. Sometimes we just want to have fun or share our deep convictions. I am sure true friendships have been found here that are more significant than the people we see once or twice a week. I have made a very good friend also from the Sunny Side and hope to be a friend to someone else if needed. I think a lot of what happens is just stuff and then there are times that God steps in and answers prayers and sends answers just when you need them.
In business we don't meet many people personally but we talk to them on phone and feel intimate too..
They are very real to me. I have made some really good connections and have come to know some wonderful people on here.
I stay in contact with them through here, my regular e-mail, the phone and I even found my husband's alter ego on here. (he is still trying to fool me but I know better.)
There are no words to describe what they are worth. I have had one of them call me the other day just when I thought I couldn't take any more.
I have had some people contact me just because I answered a question in an odd way and they knew something was wrong with me when I did.
They are my friends and I wouldn't trade them for anything for they are priceless and they know it. They play many rolls for ma and I am eternally grateful.
Very real.and yes it is worth it.
Very real, I mean it feels like something... Have you ever talked to any of your contacts on the phone? Makes it so much better that way really, they can really become a part of your life. A few of mine have that way.
