How The Cyberspace Changed Things: Notes On Friendship

I latterly watched Zoella's Q&A video as well as I establish what she maxim close friendship to hold upwards actually interesting. She is right, non plenty people focus on friendship as well as friendship developed online good at to the lowest degree non equally much equally romantic relationships. In this 24-hour interval as well as age, where social media has almost taken over our lives (well for me at least) to a greater extent than as well as to a greater extent than friendships are developed online - I own got therefore many friends that I own got never met, it's therefore surreal.

What Zoe said close non easily trusting everyone as well as jumping into a friendship amongst anyone as well as everyone, actually resonating amongst me. I empathise that for someone inwards her position,  it's reasonable to hold upwards wary of people that desire to hold upwards your friend or desire to hold upwards inwards your inner circle. I uncovering that incredibly scary as well as I don't know close her but it would drive me insane. However, I am that someone on the other side as well as I wanted to hash out it from my signal of sentiment equally the someone on the other side.

As a blogger, I teach invited to events as well as at some of these events I met 'big bloggers'. I uncovering it therefore difficult to beak these bloggers because it's ever that the dorsum of my caput that I mightiness seem to don't desire to  1 a fangirl (not that beingness a fangirl is non cool, it's actually cool I tin hold upwards the biggest fangirl) and/or two equally someone that wants to befriend them for my ain gain. It could also hold upwards that I am only a nervous as well as shy someone peculiarly when it comes to coming together novel people. Nonetheless, that idea ever crosses my hear as well as it makes me uncomfortable as well as hesitant to approach these certainly individuals. I intend it's heightened past times the fact that I am also a blogger because in that place could hold upwards this hidden agenda similar I don't know, yous know what I hateful right? I recall I went to this resultant recently, as well as in that place was a blogger I actually like. I own got followed her for ages, but I stood in that place contemplating for at to the lowest degree 10 minutes on whether I should popular off upwards to her. I know it sounds crazy but I am therefore awkward as well as and therefore I own got that added pull per unit of measurement area of non wanting to come upwards across inwards that way, trust me it's hard. By the means inwards the end, I decided to popular off upwards to her as well as she was amazing.

It's therefore difficult non to experience similar an outsider inwards these situations since it's natural people for people to stick amongst people they know. I would exercise the same. I loathe to hold upwards the i that disrupts their conversation as well as is howdy beak to me. H5N1 lot of this, I empathise is to exercise amongst my social anxiety as well as also the complexity that surrounds friendships that has been reinforced past times social media. Do yous know what it feels like, an American high schoolhouse television set series, yous know where the uncool tiddler is lurking to a greater extent than or less trying to hold upwards friends amongst the cool kids. I promise yous guys teach what I am trying to nation because I experience lost inwards my thoughts.

I think, what I am trying to nation is that it's difficult on both sides as well as that social media politics doesn't ever teach inwards easy. I am super interested inwards what your thoughts are, therefore allow me know.
