How truthful are people on the other side of net to their chatting buddies?

it all depends on who they;re talking to. like if talking to a stranger u might or might not tell the truth. n if ur talking to a friend or a family member, then ur problee gonna be telling the truth unless u realy have to lie.

Yes, it is possible to make freinds in here. You have to be very careful though, on ur judgement on who is true and who is not. From my experience, I have made some very good freinds, with whom iam in touch with and some of whom i have even met. But that happens after a very long time, once you are confident that the other person is not lying on u or cheating u in any way. For me, I recognise true freindship (on the internet) over a period of time (as we are just talking over a screen and u have not heard or seen them), when what they say about themselves dont change, or the character that they portray is the way they have actually talked about themselves, sometimes sharing pics, talking about our families, or even a fone call...but again, as i said that happens over a period of time..not immediately..\n\nsometimes, as 'somer' said, time differences matter too..however that shudn't be a problem cos obviuosly u make freinds with whom u see when u are online..\n\nanyway, good luck making freinds..but as i said, just be careful and dont reach conclusions on anyone too soon..

People will tell you anything on the net and unless you actually meet them and discover who they really are then you shouldn't worry. I've said this time and time again be your own best friend, that way you won't get hurt.

I've met quite a few people from the internet, and ended up with some very good friends that I see almost daily :)

in this cyber world, there isn't so-call real friend... some have intentions and some r just 'fooling' u around. But there are still some who have good intention or being real. But u wouldn't know right? So just be urself and judge on your own.

I think that people are more "open" on-line than in real life, so while you meet somebody on-line you know more about him/her, know more about his/her deep feelings, personality than if you knew them in real life. If you meet them they may seem different and you might feel cheated, but actually it's not because they were lying to you, it's because in real life we all try to put on the mask to fit in society.

Read the answer from "Bubbles". The person he speaks of is me, and yes he thought I was a hacker, but I was genuinely trying to help him out with his laptop.\n\nDespite his initial weariness, he gave me the benefit of the doubt, and we now communicate on a regular basis - he showed me this question you submitted and thought maybe it was me asking under a different name!\n\nSo yes, we met and we share a birthday. We get on very well; he has become a good friend. \nBubbles, if you are reading... Hello mate :)

You shouldn't judge people by what they look like, but then again if they did lie, how would you ever be able to trust them to always tell the truth.\nThen again if you aren't sure if people on such sites are truthful, then just don't arrange to meet people from such sites.

People who don't live close together can interact via chat/email/instant msg making the world a smaller place ... however some people actually end up getting less "face-time" with real people who are close by (or even in the same household)

I seldom forward such messages, however, I sometimes check their authenticity at http://www.truthorfiction.com/ (go to Search) and often send the result (when the original message is fiction) to the person who sent me the message.

Roughly 90% of the people I would call friends are people I met online. It might have to do with my line of work. I'm a website developer.

I have met three women that began as on-line conversation. It was very cool, as we came to know alot about each other before we met in the flesh. - Personally, I think it is a great way to meet people, as long as you are smart and safe.

people may not be true to their details on the internet. I myself haven't beem truthful many a time and so did many of my contacts who usually chat to me...well, its all in the game. we get to have some expectations and people expect to project themselves in a very highly manner... so when you tend to gain friends without having to show your true self.. you tend to extend the boundaries of your abilities to something which you may not actually be capable of ! so.. ultimately, internet is strange place and you must be lucky if you could find a soul-mate!!!

I enjoy talking online since I don't like to talk on the phone. But if someone is near me, that I can see in person I will talk to them. But I always talk to people I know, except when answering questions, which isn't actually talking to someone-- in a conversation.
