I feel totally different. Although my internet friends stimulate me with discussions that I can not have with my friends outside this space, I find myself really comfortable whith my irl friends.
I was in Spain recently and I live in the US. My friends in Spain, with which I grew up, are the most interesting and opened people. We can talk and not pretend, some of them have studies, some don’t, and our conversations can go from the most mundane happenings to the most stimulating ones. Which is actually relaxing for my overthinking brain.
I have to say though, that after 7 years in the US, I found that many IRL friendships never go further than the facade. Which make it difficult to relax into it and to dig deeper into more interesting discussions outside of work and materialistic topics.
I’d say that is the society, the social network that is broken irl. However, my best US friends?I met them online. Here the facade is gone…
Interesting cultural differences.
