(And by that I mean roleplaying, not video games, because I am a particular kind of nerd. You get interaction but also distance. You get to know the characters first, and then the people behind them.)

And some I’ve gotten to hang out with in person at conventions and some I’ve never met because they live on other continents, but it doesn’t matter, you chat with somebody most days for years on end, they’re a friend whether or not you ever get to meet them in person. They’re part of your life.
One of my friends and I talked a few years back, he was worried that if something ever happened to him I wouldn’t know, that I might think that one day he just decided to stop talking to me, that I’d think he was mad at me or something. He didn’t want me to think that. I wouldn’t.
If you’ve got very close online friends whom your family and in-person friends don’t know, please, consider putting together something like an advance directive listing the online friends you’d want notified if something happened to you.
