Friendship is one thing that is very important because we as humans need one another to live life to the fullest. Considering that without others in our lives, we can not feel complete, without people both physically and virtually, life might turn out very difficult. This in other words means that no human or person can be alone.

And to the prompt question: “Online Friendship” For me I believe that both online and offline friendships are important. This means that I see both as we need in one way or the other depending on our personality and what we do for a living.

Speaking on the “online friendships”, I see it as one means that has helped many people through the creation of the social media to connect easily to the world 🌎 in general. Many of us have enjoying connecting to those we don’t know physically and who are also far from us and in another country because of online opportunities. This indeed is one big achievement that was brought to us through technology and social media.

But despite as helpful as the “online friendships has been, we should see offline friendships which is known as a physical relationship where you get to meet with your friends face to face. I don’t think there is anything greater than physical friends when it comes to friendships because of how we as humans needs people for physical touch, physical support and most importantly, the physical emotion we get from our friends when we are down.

I remembered vividly how my friends were there for me when I lost my mother. In fact, they were able to travel with to my home 🏠 place, supported me through all the burial rites and afterwards. These are kinds of help you get from physical relationships. I have also been supported by friends sometime ago when my sister was ill and I was not in town. I called a friend to check in on her and I could not believe the support I got from her.

And we should remember that before the invention of technology which led to creation of social media, offline friendship was the most for people which we have all enjoyed, meeting people of different personalities, those we have learned from, those that has supported us financially, etc.

Having physical friends help us to know people better because reading people”s mind can be noticed quickly physically. And I know too that many online relationships sometimes turns out with people faking because you can’t see their facial expressions. So knowing people well has to be through physical. So most times many don’t see “online friendships” as something they want to take serious, knowing that it might not lead into something positive, especially if you don’t see it as genuine.

However, seeing “online friendships” as something that will eventually leads to physical relationships is 💯 believable because if I met someone online and after months of communication our friendship becomes something serious, we will definitely have the urge to meet physically or see ourselves wanting to come together in person. This eventually makes physical friendship the most of it all because friendships happens in different ways and those that becomes successful ends up in physical meetings.
