To all my Twitter Friends that I’ve loved now!

Hello my lovelies,

It has been so long since I have blogged and I missed it. I was so caught up in my final year studies at my university that I neglected blogging but I’m back now.

I decided to make a blog about friendships on twitter because I have honestly met so many wonderful people that sometimes it makes me so emotional, especially worrying about never meeting them in real life. Friendships to me are a big deal so if you are one of the few people I have connected with when I tried sliding into all my mutual dms (some people left me on read but I still love you) then you know I am a sucker for friendships and I try to communicate with you guys every minute of the day because dammit, I am a clingy person lol.

But I am also sure that we have all questioned the genuine nature of the person hidden behind this persona they have built on twitter or any other social platform. Are they really Twitter Friends? Or are they all fake? Maybe a catfish?

I remember when I was growing up my parents thought me to ‘never speak to strangers’ and this goes for the internet too. And I am pretty sure most of your parents did too, but here we are, years later talking to strangers’ online and becoming close friends. Some so close that they become family after a while.

Friendships on twitter has become so important, especially when two people genuinely share the same interests like, for example BTS! But are twitter friends really our friends or have we come to a point where we assume we know these people online that we trust with knowing every detail of our daily life.

The problem with friendships online is if something goes wrong or we misinterpret what the other says, (because come on messages can sometimes be misinterpreted or we can genuinely misinterpret their tones) then we immediately get upset and stop messaging each other, because it would be much easier to ignore them since you can never bump into each other at the mall or grocery store. Eventually days will pass by, months and then years or perhaps you might end up getting blocked and deleted and never given the opportunity to apologize to that once really close twitter friend. Honestly, online friendships are much harder to handle and way more risky when it comes to losing each other. But so is in real life friendships, and not everyone we connect with is supposed to be by your side forever, some are just meant to be seasonal.

I have some really close twitter friends that I consider my twitter family and yes I have gotten into a few arguments here and there or maybe one of them said something that I misinterpreted or didn’t appreciate in that moment but I have always been one to hear people out and not jump to conclusions and honestly I feel like if we all did that, then there would be less twitter fall outs and less ‘I just got blocked by my twitter best friend’.

In my opinion, I think friendships on twitter are real and genuine, we let these so called ‘strangers’ in and tell them so much personal things even our in real life friends do not even know, so yes they are real. Yes, friendships online may be risky and hard to deal with at times but please if you have good friends on twitter try to understand each other and not over analyse stuff because these friendships are amazing and when you finally meet each other it will be magical!
