What is the difference between 'knowing' in real life and 'knowing' online?
Do they both count as much as each other, these 2 very different types of connection?
I've read on here a post which I felt devalued the connections we have here.
I find them rather valuable.
I think my in person life connections are more 'corporeal' but they are also more problematic and draining of my limited resources.
They also tend to be with allistics.
What do you think?
I think for me personally I can get to know people much better online than in person. In the online world you can really open up your soul and reveal yourself without showing who you are.
I have done this many times online, something I would never do with everyone I know in the real world. I've met a lot of people online and I feel like I knew a lot of them well. I feel like people know me too.
I'm quite a vulnerable person and in real life this has been taken advantage of too many times but online especially here I get treated as an equal and feel like I belong.
For me personally I've got to know and understand more people well than in the real world.

My sentiments too.
