Does anyone else struggle with people who do this? I don't quite get it and like to think I am relatively consistent between talking to someone online and in real life probably because I don't think before I type
I have this with a couple of people.
One is a friend who is always online - we have rolling conversations all the time, but when we hang out they are distracted and disinterested. Sometimes when I see them I find myself not actually telling them things then doing so later when we're not together.
Another is a friend that I have quite regular, serious, deep conversations with online but they are much more resistant to actually hanging out than I would like - often busy, but have lots of time to chat online. After not seeing them for a period and actually spending time together it almost felt like there were two different friendships.
What's this about??? I suppose I don't understand as I wouldn't invest time into someone online than I wouldn't in real life. Do any of you find yourself doing this?
