Hello everyone we all have known the real facts about online and offline friends. So which one is better? Or there isn't any "better"? Are online friends more trustable than the ones we have in real life? Whom should we trust? In my view I would say trust no one. Because anyone anytime can break your trust when you let them hold your heart. The point is to protect yourself from any physical or mental harm in the future all you have to do is trust no one at all. Be independent and have the courage to accept that everyone is temporary.
Even if we have been friends for years in real life, that friend can suddenly change. Or maybe they were never like the person the portrayed and they faked it for years. You can call them good actors and yes it is possible to act for years. If you are wise enough and when you see any red flags you will realize it. I have been friends with many people in my life and I have faced many things. In 10 years of friendship I always got insulted by my friend. He would only use me to crack his jokes and make others laugh. I was never laughing but I had to show it was funny because I wanted to protect the feelings of my friend. But in reality I was hurting myself instead.
Friends like these will suck your soul and leave nothing to live on with. It took me a lot of courage to leave a friend like that. After that I had found some friends online. They were all so good that they boosted my confidence. They used to say positive things and all of them were foreigners. They were from different countries and they never made me feel less. But still after getting hurt multiple times, I had to stop myself from getting hurt. So I never gave to place in my heart to any friend of mine but I still love and respect them.
One of my friend had fallen a trap. There was a guy who used to stay he was struggling a lot with money and he need to do operation for his mother. My friend felt bad for him, he arranged money for him and even we helped that guy. It was all around 2 lakh taka and what happened next won't surprise you. He was pretending and he was a scammer. He got exposed by someone else on facebook in the "expose scammers" community. We found out his real identity and learned that he use those money for drugs. His mother was never sick and he doesn't even stay with his family because he had become an addicted person.
I would say to stay alert from such scammers. Do not give away your money because someone is pretending go be helpless. Make sure to take enough proof that the person is saying the truth or making up stories. Even if you are friends with them for years but you may never know their true face.
