Do you have friends outside of Hive?

@chinito: 😊😎🤙 it's all good. but yea, i know what u mean, I mostly stay home and don't have any friends.. (that i hang with) I do have a few ppl that I talk to (not counting hivers), but probably only 2 of them that I would ever see and really hang with. the most friends I had was in school (highschool, college), but even that.. i would only hangout with a few of them ever. I think it's ok and even pretty cool to not need other people to 'complete' u.. my mom used to talk to random strangers always and couldn't stand to be stuck at home for more than a day. She would talk about it like THAT was normal, and everyone was built that way. I would often tell her that I could easily live solo (with internet, of course) (and maybe a dog) for months, maybe even years at a time. 🙋‍♂️😊🐕‍🦺

@cmplxty.leo: Completely agree with you here man! We are deeply social beings and we need that physical social interaction so much. Yes for sure we can have online friends but in person physical interactions are soothing for our soul in so many ways. I think that seeing facial expressions, body language and the electricity we each give off are so important for those around us and our friend circles! Sadly as we get older, that friend circle gets smaller for various reasons. I’m hoping to get more physical friends, I have some good acquaintances but little “friends” in that we could sit down and share stories about various things in life. It’s good to have at least one though, so that’s always a plus!

@mipiano: I moved country many years ago so the school and college friends are not that close friends anymore. (Though a few stayed close). In our new country (Spain) there we do have more people around us, they are just kind of open people you can really connect with more easily. So, I still have friends in real life but maybe I socialize on daily level more online right now. Online = Hive! During these three years found some peeps with similar vibe ✨

@malos10: I agree with you that it's important to have friends you can see in person. There's something special about being able to connect with someone on a deeper level when you can see their facial expressions and hear their tone of voice. Online friendships can be great, but they can't replace the real thing. It's important to make time for real life socializing, even if it's just a few hours a week.

@videoaddiction: I think, as HIVE grews bigger in countries, we will have more friends outside HIVE. I believe that people on HIVE have quality to the some extend, like in the first years of chat internet, because a writer/blogger wouldn't be an empty person.

@sapphirecrypto: Yeah, I think a lot of people are missing out on this... hopefully, in years to come, friends wouldn't have been replaced by robots!🙃🤖

@biyimi: Recently I tend to even prefer life in the digital world much more than the real sense
