Wow. I mean. Wow.

  Ah, such a succinct way of conveying "you have violated a social contract in such a blatant way that I will not even give you the common courtesy of explaining what, exactly, you've done wrong".

    No. It was literally a complete inability to understand. I'm of the age that I'm not "permanently online" and my real f2f friendships are everything to me. I was just expressing my astonishment that this could be another way.

      I'm neurodivergent, so it's not something that works for everyone. But I think it's still possible to love people online, without having to worry about physical bodies. I don't mean a relationship kind of love, or even the opposite end of the spectrum being totally-platonic love. I just love my friends for the people that they are, perhaps even more than I am capable of loving a physical body. And because the internet keeps me always connected to everyone... I don't have to arrange meetups, or worry about travel times or expenses, or about people moving away. I've had tons of traumatic experiences too, because this necessarily comes with a certain degree of vulnerability. I still haven't been able to escape the negative effects of those experiences yet. But I'd say it's worth it just for the wonderful people that I know today.
