I have been there for years and I could not be happier with the status quo - some of those people - I don't want to know.<br /><br />I have as yourself a online friend(more than one really) and we literally get on like a house on fire - I do go on the principle that they have my best at heart and i have hopfully met a friend for live..<br /><br />In real life - there's like a sign over my house - all welcome, so we (my family and I) have a steady gang who are constant and always there for support - I like how it is, thereby meaning - when i say get out and don't come back - like clockwork they are back for b/fast the next morning..<br /><br />Wonderful post...<br />E.H>Erotic Horizonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236771670599353453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768789632327048133.post-65557721448609487942009-05-04T19:52:00.000-07:002009-05-04T19:52:00.000-07:00I want to thank everyone for sharing your story wi...I want to thank everyone for sharing your story with me.

My hubby'...Oh, you're definitely not alone, Shayne. My hubby's the social butterfly, I am not. I am very content to stay home, whereas he thrives on social interaction. I only have a few good 'in person' non-related friends. OK. Two. One is a local writer, and the other is a work friend. I've worked with her for 8 years and she's awesome, shares my odd sense of perverted humor, and she's the only person at work who knows I write books. Everyone else there...well, there are a handful that I truly like as people (not that I'd be long term friends with them or anything, but they are good people) and the rest could quit tomorrow and I wouldn't miss them. <br /><br />I have more good online friends than 'in person' friends. As Shellie and Lily mentioned, I think it's easier to be yourself when you're not face to face with someone. <br /><br />Excellent post, by the way. :)Ava Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07728101223255398162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768789632327048133.post-8961642350665510902009-05-03T21:15:00.000-07:002009-05-03T21:15:00.000-07:00Lily,

The internet can help us quiet ones come out of our shell. <br /><br />Thanks for posting your comment:) I am glad to see I am not alone in thinking this way!<br /><br />ShayneShaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02071306264753653494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768789632327048133.post-67353588462178941072009-05-03T20:58:00.000-07:002009-05-03T20:58:00.000-07:00Hey Shayne,

It's actually surprised me that I've been able to "meet" and talk to people so easily lately, although I guess the anonymity of being online is what has contributed to that.<br />Still, even though my new friendships are online and not face to face, I'm really enjoying them, which goes to prove it's never too late to start a new phase in life.<br />Lily :)Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683944973070583799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768789632327048133.post-61763831243316786372009-05-03T19:13:00.000-07:002009-05-03T19:13:00.000-07:00Shayne,

We only talk a couple of times a year, but it's always good to catch up with her when we do talk.<br />You called it when it comes to friends at work. As soon as I am home...I never hardly give them a second thought. <br />I have several internet friends. Sometimes I think it is easier to be yourself when you are not face to face with others. It's safer somehow.<br />Loved your post!<br />Shelldaisiemaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554991218577772935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768789632327048133.post-57572681638459017502009-05-03T18:50:00.000-07:002009-05-03T18:50:00.000-07:00Thank you M.D.S.S.

And so glad you are ...Nice to see you back posting. And so glad you are feeling better again.<br /><br />I feel the same way about work friends. I've made some over the years from my old job that I still see maybe once a year but for the most part once the work day is over you don't really think that much about your work friends.<br /><br />I don't make friends easily. I'm fairly anti-social because I am very much a shy introvert and I can probably count on one hand (maybe two) people I am close to. So I completely get where you are coming from.<br /><br />I have an internet best friend too who I adore, too. ;-)Shawn Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15465277365345512695noreply@blogger.com
