Memento (spooky) Morty 🌙 @mementomorty.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Online friendships are weird because you can be a mutual with someone for years, never meet them in person, then truly feel happiness for them when something good happens in their life. 2569970
Liz K @piecesbymina.bsky.social · 01/12/2024I have online friends who I've never met, some for over 20 years now. We have watched each other go through some of the biggest ups and downs in life and if I ever meet any of them they will be getting the biggest bear hugs from me and lots of happy tears 🥹🫂 000
HELLderberry @magicalandmundane.bsky.social · 30/11/2024It's a gift of the internet age. We're able to see we aren't so alone after all. 010
Sky @skychai13.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Then when you meet it weirdly feels like you know eachother even though you’ve never met! 120
Kukla Reaper @kukla-reaper.bsky.social · 01/12/2024i read a paper years ago that talked about how our brains don't care where the emotions came from, they're equally real - so the love we feel for irl friends, online friends, and characters in books is all equal to our brain. i thought it was really cool 020
Jane BIVL @janebivl.bsky.social · 30/11/2024This is so true. On the Other Site, before it got musked, a bunch of online Nats friends rallied around one who had terminal cancer. Another time, I found myself in an Atlanta hospital for a week and Braves fans brought me treats. Someone even before Twitter coined us as “Imaginary Friends.” 020
Ravavyr @ravavyr.bsky.social · 30/11/2024yea but you also forget they exist and years later notice they passed away unnoticed. 010
Jen needs a Wishing Well @jenmindelen.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Online is my only social life I work too much to have offline friendships I can't express how grateful I am for Bluesky and all the wonderful people here 💙 120
Lisa | Luxa Wellness @luxawellness.bsky.social · 01/12/2024So true! The digital world is quite different and has really changed the way we relate to each other. 000
Lars @larshalbracken.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Both Q and Amber are giving me a lot of joy right now 030
Molly (they/them) 🏳️⚧️ @epi-nymph.bsky.social · 30/11/2024I ate some cheese just now so I know this is about me and my cheese 1130
Marcy @areteagape.bsky.social · 30/11/2024And then suddenly they block you and you can’t figure out why and it hurts your feelings! So strange. 🤣🤣🤣 110
red1126 💙⚖️🌊💙 Regina @red1126.bsky.social · 30/11/2024I have an 8 yr online friendship with a person in the UK. I’m in NJ. Last summer I went to visit my son in the UK and finally met this friend.

Kiefo Nilsson @kiefonilsson.com · 30/11/2024+ that the good thing can be "spends less time online" 010
roseh1956.bsky.social @roseh1956.bsky.social · 01/12/2024I think that is so affirming and positive! 000
Let’s Be Better @bebetter101.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Absolutely, and they’re not using your bathroom. 020
We Were Right @wewereright.org · 02/12/2024and they can unfollow instantly one day and you have no idea who they were 000
Dr. Thurber, EdD | Dr. T. @drthurber.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Heart-to-heart and life-to-life connections reach beyond the physical. It helps us realize the power of our energy: positive, negative, or neutral. 000
LoriG @engranon.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Weird yet wonderful. I have a set of my imaginary internet friends from the late 90s and we still share our joys and heartbreaks. They are actually some of my best friends. 000
