Online friends can't replace the offline friends

Family is the most important thing for a human. If there is anything that is as important as family, it must be friends. Every human has friends; it does not matter if the person is an introvert or an extrovert. The only difference is that an introvert has few friends, and an extrovert has a large friend circle. The types of friends can also differ based on whether someone is an introvert or an extrovert.

In the earlier days, making friends was only possible in the offline world, and without physical appearance, it was almost impossible to make friends. But now we are living in a digital world, and we have advanced technologies that offer many social media platforms through which we can connect with people all over the world. It doesn't matter if a person is an introvert or an extrovert; everyone can make many friends in the online world. I think introvert people can express themselves in online social media very well; at least I can say it based on my observation. Now, making friends has become easier with social media.

In social media, we can share our thoughts very easily, and we can connect with those people with whom our vibes match. So finding someone having a similar kind of mindset with us is not so difficult there. So from this perspective, an online friend is quite good. We can share our thoughts with them, and they can also help us by giving us various kinds of suggestions. They can give us mental support through encouraging us.

On the other hand, offline friends are those friends whom we met physically at a stage of our life. We connect with them for various kinds of reasons, and mostly we make friends in our academic institutions, as they are great places to meet with many students like us. Among the chosen few is our friend with whom our vibes match. They are a part of our life and play an important role in our growth.
So now both online and offline fronts are possible, and a question comes to mind: which one is the most important? Online front or the front with home we can meet in person? I think this is very easy to answer for me because I have clear thoughts about it.

Online fronts have limitations. They can only give us suggestions, or at most they can give us mental support by encouraging us. In any family function or on occasion, they cannot offer a helping hand because it requires physical appearance. In most of the emergency cases, online friends can do nothing because when it's an emergency, we may not get the chance to share about it with them. As an example, just imagine I encounter a road accident and am hospitalized. It is impossible for my online friend to know about my situation. Even if then, no, they cannot do anything for me. But in the case of an offline friend, they will get the news for sure; it doesn't matter where they are.

In any kind of family function, occasion, or program, they are ready to help us, and together we make a force to make it successful. We can create many memories together. We can travel together, have fun, and enjoy the sunset together. At a bad time, they can do many silly things to lift our mood rather than say encouraging words. They can understand us better than online friends because online friends only know about the things that we share with them, but offline friends can understand our situation better than anyone.

The true magic of a friendship lies in the friends of the offline world. When the offline friends connect to us online, it becomes great. So there is no doubt that an offline friend is the best. We indeed made many good online friends, but at this time, we need to understand they have many limitations, and naturally, it's really difficult for them to win over an offline friend.
