I think they are real. As real as the participants in the friendship want to make them. It's the hug and other physical contact that consecrates the relatiinship in a way. But all our relating whether irl or virtual is of the mind anyways. This is an older video, but I felt like commenting anyways. Must be interesting to still get replies years later to a thought you had one day. Constantly bringung you back to that thought...
Yes, all internet friendships work. I think it's silly that people think that they are in some way 'different' from relationships started in the outside world. They're not different, they're one and the same.
I've made relationships in both and they're totally equal in quality.
wings & open arms & i suppose money would play a factor for a relationship fostered online to manifest into its true potential. for now, i use ice cream to fill the hole.
see "the Laws of Loneliness" (makes for a rather fitting video response) for a more detailed explanation.
Both relationships are good but there both better than each other. The internet can not replace emotional relationships, cause when people are together their minds beam thoughts into each other making relationships seam more emotional. But on Internet its harder to do that so its more of exchanging knowledge relationship, kind of like reading or watching a video.
Younposed a very interesting question. I heard it working out. From internet relatioships to "flesh and bones" relationships.There are many people who hide their true naature behind an avatar. This is not possible in a "3d" relationship.To me, an internet relationshio seems more evanescent
I think they are slightly different for the fact i dont know if maybe just I have noticed this but people crave the fact of being able to see or touch what there getting close to Iguess having that privlage or ability could draw people closer yea you can make a really good friend or maybe even a decent relationship but nothing on the same personal level as if they were right beside you
I think they are slightly different for the fact i dont know if maybe just I have noticed this but people crave the fact of being able to see or touch what there getting close to Iguess having that privlage or ability could draw people closer yea you can make a really good friend or maybe even a decent relationship but nothing on the same personal level as if they were right beside you
like with all things concerning a person it's all personal. what it all depends on is how personal you get. i feel like 2 ppl see each other and only talk to them because they find them attractive, i wont lie that's what 'attracted' me to your channel in the 1st place. after the attraction cools down and you really engage in deep and meaningful conversations, if you can have those, then you start to find wat that person is to you and what you are to them and just how far it can go.
I believe they can be either, depending on the people involved, there are plenty of fair weather online friends, I guess people just looking for someone to keep them company at work or whatever. On the other hand, i have very close and dear internet friends, some of which i have known now for over 10 years. Sometimes it's easier to open up to people online than it is sitting down face to face and in that way maybe they can be more real than physical relationships.
I think it could be a bad idea to think you are closer to someone on the internet. not everyone feels the same way about friendship. I for one value internet friendships but thats just me. There are a lot of people on the internet that feel its a protective wall and the same is true for relationship here on you tube or anywhere for that matter I think we can learn a lot from sharing but there is a line we can never cross. Great topic Heather. ;-)
Hey I just saw this right now. Anyway I dont know if you would care,but Think of it there are some people that have relationships on the computer,have a sorta connection because there are many people in the world. There are some people that even try to get a plane ticket just to see that one person that means the most to them,what they been saying to eachother the bond that connects them. I dont know if I'm making any sense. Nvm haha.
I'm going to have to disagree with you, MissPacman, in a manner of speaking, at least. Internet relationships can be just filler or they can grow into something more, it's really just based on how you perceive them. I don't have much text space on here, blah. I know the video is over a year old, but I still felt compelled to post a reply. Feel free to hit me back for more in-depth discussion on the topic cause I only have 70...no, 61, no, 53, no..Eff it, I'm out of characters spaces. Damn..
i think internet relation ships could wrk well friend ships could i think it is good to have friends that arent around u because im not sure about any 1 else but i know i hat to talk to ppl about my feelings and this way i dont know y but i find it alot more easy to talk to some 1 that way as for bf gf relation ships i dont think they wrk but idk any thing is posable this is like the only youtube vid i have seen that makes me think
hiya...its all relative hon....i even met up with people on the net and visited them abroad and kept up friendships....be positive....it'll work but of course only if you really want it to...f.y.i....you remind me of elizabeth hurley....like your smoking vids...am one of those that thinks smoking is actually sexy...totally....
wow thats deep hmm i would think that a lot of the time you could have the same type of friendship over the internet as you could in person if not beter cause u can get the know a person for what there like as over what there acting is what i think personly i duno correct me if im wrong
Interaction in general I think it doesn't matter if the person is down the street or half way around the world. You still create a bond with that person. Sure you can't physically interact with them but if you are willing to put the effort into it when you finally get to it makes it just a little more special in my opinion
Ran out of space, maybe I should start making video responses!
... but important things like sponaneity, surprise and impulse cant be shared. I cant go for a drink with my friends over the internet, or go out and drive until we get lost and make an adventure of getting back home.
Whatever you define an internet relationship as, it cannot replace a tangible relationship, in my experience.
What if they smell?
The internet is fascinating, because it allows to people to project themselves as they want- we create our online personalities. Some are very similar to our personalities in "real life", some are vastly different.
In ways, we open up a hell of a lot more, and response time allows for calculated and intellectual exchanges, which is good, but...
I have had a lot of people move away from me in my life, some of them i really and truly loved. Video chat will never be able to replace the feelings of holding/ hugging/ kissing... It just wont have that emotional value or thrill to it. As for something from the internet becoming a real life relationship, as long as the two people take their time, and are truthful to eachother, i honestly think it can work out :) but even then you'll have to meet sometime.
They can work they just take trust to a different leavel no truely higher just different as in you need to trust people about who they are oh and please come back I'm lost without you wise words and questions
True, typically I would say that an internet relationship is not a relationship at all, that being said, I think it can be a great thing for friendship, I mean, as independant as I would like to look from interaction with people, the humor that friends provide, the friendship in general feels very comforting to me and it feels good to provide the same. I think an attraction can occur over the web and can increase upon discovering what one is like, persona etc. but that's as far as it goes..
Honestly, my best friend is someone I know on the internet, that might make me a bit of a loser but to me the most important thing in a relationship is trust, and I know I can tell him anything at all without worrying. With real friends I find I have to keep up appearances. Dating type relationships should probably be kept offline though because there's just a different kind of chemistry.
it does make you a loser, but that depends on what framework you're using to class yourself as one. Fuck that. Just don't use a framework that involves classifying people as losers, keep that negative self-deprecating shit outta there.
If you compare the way people once met, 20 years ago..its actually just a new way to communicate and express yourself, I think its pretty cool, its just another outlet, in the future I am sure there will be more ways to connect..
i think you are right. internet relationships are just a filler. but there has been people who have met on youtube and are now married-they had to take their relationship further of course, as in beside each other.
The secret ingredient... perfect way to ask this question.
Knowing someone on a truly deep level, I think, requires more day to day interaction than we can get from just hanging out with someone a few hours here and there. But even if we're limited on how much time we spend with someone, we can still know some of the more important parts of someone.
Perhaps we only get into real trouble when we fill in the gaps w/ our own wants and expectations, building ppl up as something they're not - ?
Wow. I just got around to reading this comment now but you summed it up perfectly... and gave me just the amount of clarity I needed this last little while...
Great question. It's all about the nature of the experience. In my experience you need to share certain experiences with your friends or other close ones for there to be any real progress,or to strengthen the bond. For instance,going out on the town and having a common experience of just seeing a movie,or witnessing something odd,etc and then talking about it has a far greater consequence,in me PERSONALLY feeling closer to someone,than say just chatting with someone about something on the net
... It's more meaningful to us humans due to evolution. This is just another point to the one you mentioned on intimacy. The real benefit of an internet relationship is that you could meet all sorts of interesting characters from around the world that perhaps just aren't to be found around in your area. That's about it. The shared experiences on the net isn't quite the same as the "real life" counterparts.
to add on all my freinds in real life i have been freinds with for years and i would like to think that I know everything about them. real freinds cannot be beaten. I bet a freind over the internet wont knoiw u as well as a person uve grown up with. this is just my personal opinion on the matter. Some people may be honest enough to have a freind on the internet. i like these videos. its nice to see a more careing side to u then ur usual videos. Hope to see more like these. keep up the good work.
i like these types of vids u do. I like ur ideas and opinions about the world today. anyways i personaly dont believe that relationships over the internet will work... for long. sure u can meet somone talk to them everyday but eventualy u will get annoyed with the fact that you 2 will never meet and that this one person could be a lie. People are almost never the way they say they are over the internet (somthing that bugs me) and some will make themselves a whole new person.
I do belive that friendships and relationships can work on the net. You just have to make sure to follow your instincts and that thins go slowly and carefully. But yes it can work.
well i never had any luck with friendships on or off of the computer until recently ive been friends with someone on youtube for a year and several months and even though we never meant each other face to face its been the longest friendship ive ever had i think sometimes friendships over the internet can be better then those in real life cause they are less likely to use you and more likely to stick around longer. thats just my worthless option though
You're right that on the internet, you can get to know someone incredibly well, but I think that no matter what, it's never quite as real as a relationship in person. I'm not sure if this is that one ingredient you're looking for, but I feel like what internet relationships lack are those experiences and memories formed together that are the natural foundations of real-life relationships...
Here's my answer: Some of my best friends I've made were met on the internet. And I met my girlfriend over the internet as well. We are VERY honest with one another and we honestly DO help each other with problems.
In a way, they're less real. In another sense, they're more real. Internet relationships, for the most part, are based solely around conversations without physical interaction. If you think of it like that, a relationship could be stronger than one you have in real life. On the other hand, they're less real because it's so much easier to be false and fake on the internet than it is in real life. You could build a relationship up with someone only to find out that someone is not who you thought.
Wen it feels right its right..Don`t think about whats gonna happen good or bad. Live in the moment and develops..Have an equal balance between feeling and intelligence..You must be free from jealousy and the urge to own somebody..
the world is so small today, there's no place where we can't go. Good luck and really nice video, I love the music and I actually have to agree with xxitsmyfault. I think I've got a smoking fetish but I liked hearing from you in this video even more than the smoking videos.
I think relationships here in the online world are as real as it gets. It's easy to be misled though, but the contact you have with persons here is way more personal cause people are more open. And about changing it to a real relationship, you really have to break that barrier in your mind that tells you they're different worlds. Internet isn't a different world, it's just another place to meet people, it's just that you really get to meet their personality instead of their physical appearance.
However romantic relationships in my opinion cannot work. For a romantic relationship to flourish you need that physical bond aswell. Now if someone met in person began dating and had to continue it long distance the internet is amazing for that. But starting a relationship online and only keeping it online will never work. Humans need that physical touch, it's just part of romance...what's left of it. Well that was my two cents. You're video was great! You're adorable!!
In my opinion friendships can work on the internet, they are definately different but they can work. I have a few friends that I've only had the joy to connect with online and I've known them for many years now and even if we don't talk for months at a time that bond doesn't disapear the way it sometimes does with friends you see face to face. It's hard to explain I how that works. But also internet friends should never become a persons only friends.
I'm glad to see you return to being heather again and posting a thought provoking video. :)
I think relationships are only as good or as real as the honesty and trust between the individuals. People on internet may be honest, but they may only be showing parts of who they are -- like their best (or WORST) behavior. Only time (or time together) will really show what they are made of. That's my opinion.
I like to think that I have a brain. LOL And I love it when you post vlogs like this. I think that you have a lot more to offer, than just boobs.
Many people find friends online and they choose to make efforts to meet their online friends. Example, Fiveawesomegirls. They all decided to meet and get closer.
I believe that internet relationship can turn into something very real, if you chose to make that happen.
If you choose to keep someone online at a distance, there's a reason.
Wow, really deep question. I like the music in the background. Very soothing.
Ok, now the question...
This goes for any relationship. You'll get from it, what you put into it.
I think that you do lose a certain amount of intimacy, even in a friendship, if you can't reach out and give that person a comforting hug.
It would be unhealthy to ONLY have online relationships. Someone who only forms friendships that can be turned off with the click of a mouse, is afraid.
its 2008, its ineveitable to not speak with someone on the internet, wiether is myspace or yt, or a conference call at work...
as for friendships, if its not limited to distance or money and travel then think of it as an APPLICATION, if you choose not to or if it doesnt work out, you dont have to take the job.
Any relationship, in an form , is what you make of it. Committing to the other peson is everything. In an internet relationship it is different, you can just sign off, delete, and rewrite. When you are face to face and live with a person, the intensity is palpable and dynamic.
All that being said...Can an internet relationship be real and meaningful? Yes it can. Both parties can feel every emotion, and with live webcamming you can interact with true depth.
I think they are more real. If you ask my friends from my life and those that I met online, they get completely different views of me. I find it's easier to be yourself online than offline.
I think they are real. As real as the participants in the friendship want to make them. It's the hug and other physical contact that consecrates the relatiinship in a way. But all our relating whether irl or virtual is of the mind anyways. This is an older video, but I felt like commenting anyways.

Now if someone met in person began dating and had to continue it long distance the internet is amazing for that. But starting a relationship online and only keeping it online will never work. Humans need that physical touch, it's just part of romance...what's left of it. Well that was my two cents. You're video was great! You're adorable!!

In my opinion friendships can work on the internet, they are definately different but they can work. I have a few friends that I've only had the joy to connect with online and I've known them for many years now and even if we don't talk for months at a time that bond doesn't disapear the way it sometimes does with friends you see face to face. It's hard to explain I how that works. But also internet friends should never become a persons only friends.

I'm glad to see you return to being heather again and posting a thought provoking video. :)
I think relationships are only as good or as real as the honesty and trust between the individuals. People on internet may be honest, but they may only be showing parts of who they are -- like their best (or WORST) behavior. Only time (or time together) will really show what they are made of. That's my opinion.

I like to think that I have a brain. LOL And I love it when you post vlogs like this. I think that you have a lot more to offer, than just boobs.
Many people find friends online and they choose to make efforts to meet their online friends. Example, Fiveawesomegirls. They all decided to meet and get closer.
I believe that internet relationship can turn into something very real, if you chose to make that happen.
If you choose to keep someone online at a distance, there's a reason.

Wow, really deep question. I like the music in the background. Very soothing.
Ok, now the question...
This goes for any relationship. You'll get from it, what you put into it.
I think that you do lose a certain amount of intimacy, even in a friendship, if you can't reach out and give that person a comforting hug.
It would be unhealthy to ONLY have online relationships. Someone who only forms friendships that can be turned off with the click of a mouse, is afraid.
To be continued...

its 2008, its ineveitable to not speak with someone on the internet, wiether is myspace or yt, or a conference call at work...
as for friendships, if its not limited to distance or money and travel then think of it as an APPLICATION, if you choose not to or if it doesnt work out, you dont have to take the job.
video response pending
was that frou frou in the bg??

Any relationship, in an form , is what you make of it. Committing to the other peson is everything. In an internet relationship it is different, you can just sign off, delete, and rewrite. When you are face to face and live with a person, the intensity is palpable and dynamic.
All that being said...Can an internet relationship be real and meaningful? Yes it can. Both parties can feel every emotion, and with live webcamming you can interact with true depth.
Just my opinion..:)

I think they are more real. If you ask my friends from my life and those that I met online, they get completely different views of me. I find it's easier to be yourself online than offline.

I think in some ways they are actually more "real".
I can express more of my opinions without the risk of confrontation , or serious embarrassment.
Also , many people awake with the thought of checking their correspondence.May just be a small light in the day , but a pleasure none the less.
They are just different , thats all. Be cautious , and enjoy yourself.
