Online for sure. As long as some of us have been posting in the same communities I feel like I "know" a good bunch of you!

More IRl but I feel like I tell my few online friends more stuff because I trust them not to say anything more.

IRL. I try to connect online but I don't know if I come across ... Right? I just get the impression I'm not as likeable online. Haha

@.twist.: You are so!
I have more online friends, and that's ok with me

Definitely IRL. Spose could say I'm a bit of a loser when it comes to "online" friends : P

IRL I guess. Don't really have any online friends....I just sort of exist online but I wouldn't say that I've made any friends.

Probably online lol. IRL I'm more of a few close friends kind of girl.

Online. All my friends moved away when we graduated now I'm moving! Making new friends is hard.

I definitely tell more to and connect more often with my online friends. So, online. And, they are all pretty freaking awesome!

IRL, I think. I have a ton of online acquaintances but there are very few who I consider close friends the same way my IRL friends are. I guess it's hard to explain, but I think of a friend as someone who I would do anything for or who really know (and still love) who I am.

Not sure, but I'm pretty sure my online friends know waaaay more about my personal life than any of my IRL friends

@.twist.: I feel the same way!! like I can't fully express myself in type or something

IRL for sure...
I don't really have online friends .. that I really connect and confide in. Although I feel like I am getting to know some bees better.
@.twist.: haha ! same.

@.twist.: I know what you mean, though fwiw (hoping this doesn't sound too creepy!) you're one of the ladies on here that I would say I *know* in terms of your personality/opinions etc. so that definitely comes across

@Reese: I'm the same way about online friends. I'm new to online friendships in general, and while I probably overshare here, there's no one that I email with/confide in/talk to outside of HB boards.

@.twist.: I like you!
@MediaNaranja: Same!
I haven't really connected online with anyone the way I do IRL friends. I definitely have more online acquaintances though!

I guess IRL but there are a few bees I've become close with, especially thru Instagram, it helps!

Online. I have very few friends IRL. I am actually quite shy. It takes a lot for me to be super outgoing when meeting people. It doesn't come naturally!
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
At this time in my life I feel much closer to my online friends. Whom all hopefully will become IRL friends very soon!
@Mrs. Jacks: I absolutely will for my online friends. Anyone I won't do that for are acquaintances, not friends.
@.twist.: I feel the same way. But you totally come off right!
GOLD / pineapple / 12662 posts
@Reese: People just don't get that I am just a geeky jive turkey with a potty mouth (workin on that!) who likes stupid humor like South Park and Super Troopers. But seriously, I have to work hard a being outgoing so people don't think I am a snobby bitch. That makes me a sad panda sometimes.

@MsLipGloss: bahahah you just described ME! Let's be besties, K?
Car ramrod!
Can I get a f ing liter of cola!
pomegranate / 3521 posts
@MsLipGloss: Yeah I get that. I can be stand offish when meeting new people too. It is easier to let your guard down online.
grapefruit / 4136 posts
@MsLipGloss: @regberadaisy: bahaha say it! Say car ramrod! You just described me. I'm SO immature w/my humor but I married an ex roughneck so my potty mouth is readily accepted f-bombs fly all day long.

I would definitely say I have more IRL friends at the moment, but this is my first foray into a true online community that I feel like I can relate to, so I hope that might change. If nothing else, you ladies are pretty much the only ones I know with kids around the same age as mine, and that means something to me!
also @MsLipGloss: shnozzberries taste like shnozzberries! (no idea how you should actually spell that).
blogger / honeydew / 7081 posts
Online, for sure. I actually was given a mug for my birthday that says "I have a life, I just prefer it online." Ouch ;). Haha - online is better for me - I've got a serious social anxiety disorder, so I can chat with all of you ladies without getting all uptight!
GOLD / pineapple / 12662 posts
@Reese: Definitely (letting guard down)! My (super close friends - all 1 of them!) call me *litigator Barbie* (I am an attorney), so people have a hard time imagining that I (a) have a sense of humor, and (b) love toilet jokes as much as any eight year old boy.
@regberadaisy: You're on! Schaweeeeng battah!
GOLD / pineapple / 12662 posts
@MrsScallop: That's one of my favorite words (!!!) . . .I am constantly trying to figure out how to work *shnozzberries* and *piggery* into every day conversations.
