I don’t find that people I relate to in person have significantly more ‘real’ feelings about me than people I know online.

- coldtea 8y agoMerely "relating to someone in person" is not intimacy. "Intimacy: close familiarity or friendship. "the intimacy between a husband and wife" synonyms: closeness, togetherness, affinity, rapport, attachment, familiarity, confidentiality, close association, close relationship, close attachment, close friendship, friendliness, comradeship, companionship, amity, affection, mutual affection, warmth, warm feelings, understanding, fellow feeling;" Some random coworker or some person you might meet at the coffee place once in a blue moon is not an "intimate" relationship either. But online-only relationships are hardly ever intimate.
- code_duck 8y agoOkay, I agree with all of that too.
