>>9 I don't have online friends. I have in person friends who I see occasionally, and we've met a happy medium of meeting once a month or so for various activities. We catch up over a coffee, or an activity like shooting pool. It's enough socialization to keep me satisfied. I also do speak to a few people at a local bar, and that also serves a satisfying purpose of enjoyment around music and stuff. The closest thing I have to online friends was when I was in a discord server, but they weren't from where I live, so meeting up wasn't doable. But as for not knowing these people well, and it being surface level, yes, that was the case. But it was a wholesome fun server, and I enjoyed the conversations. I didn't stay on there long enough to consider them friends like the ones I meet irl. I think it could have gone that way eventually, though, because they were a great set of people.
