Do you think fulfillment online has the same meaning as it does in the real world?

There are several different types of fulfillment: intellectual fulfillment, sexual fulfillment, social fulfillment, etc and they are satisfied to different degrees both online and IRL. However, the meaning of fulfillment does not change simply because you've changed the medium or the distance involved, all that changes is the level to which you fulfill these needs/desires/what have you.

Would you put your online friends on the same level as your real world friends?

Some of them, yes. others, no. I determine friendship by the amount of interaction with, enjoyment of, and trust in a person be they someone I've met online or someone I've met in real life. While there is much to be said for sharing a burger, or whatever else might be said to your particular taste, just as much can often be said for roleplaying. In many ways, we are able to be more open with our online friends at the beginning, we are more ourselves because that initial bit of anonymity. Even so, I have found that the two are about even, friends are friends, and they vary in closeness regardless of how you interact with then. The important part is that that interaction is there in whatever form.

When you need comfort or to vent on an issue, will you usually go to your online or real world friends first? Feel free to expand.

I'll go to whoever happens to be around first. Admittedly, it's much easier to pop online and vent. A computer is often near at hand, whereas 'real world' friends must first be tracked down. I suppose you could say it's a matter of proximity. If I'm out and about with a friend, they might get to hear about a problem first. If I'm alone in my room and need to get something off my chest, my online friends get the first crack at it.

Are you more open with online friends or with real world friends?
|
Yes, but as I become more confident in myself, I'm starting to even that out a bit. The relative anonymity of the net allows us certain freedoms, gives us a certain bit of extra courage that allows us to be our true selves to some degree, or so I have found.

Have you ever met up with an online friend? How did that compare to speaking with them online?
|
Absolutely. I was originally part of Mystery Missions and met up with a number of my team mates at Six Flags. We had a blast and they were every bit as sweet and interesting IRL as they were online. I have been meeting online folks off and on ever since.

Do you think the internet has had an effect on your real world relations? If so, how?
|
A friend of mine talks in tumblr-ese, does that count? No?...pity. Seriously though, the people that we are on the net are often the people that we wish to be, they're as open and honest as we'd like to be IRL, but can't quite bring ourselves to be and, if we look carefully, it allows us to see what we want out of life, friends, etc, even if it doesn't necessarily help us achieve those things IRL.

Do you have Facebook? Do you use it frequently?

I do, indeed. Yes, I use it fairly often to keep in contact with people who have moved away, writing buddies, old classmates, and to gather nearby friends on occasion.
If you need to me to rephrase or add anything to these answers (I often miss points entirely at this time of night), do let me know.
