Friendship is a very deep meaning. It not only refers to making just new friends and enjoy and party with them or in todays world, chatting with them.
Everything has its pros and cons.
Internet friendship, on the one hand, proves to be life changing and however, it is on the other hand, proves to be destructible.
Ill give you examples of both the situations.
Internet friendship has many types such as facebook, dating apps, online sites for chatting etc. But, in all of them you are not sure that you are talking to the person whose pic is showing in the dp. Maybe that is the fake identity.
But some matrimonial sites are successful in giving internet friendship a new way.
So, always be alert and keep backup of whole background of the person you are talking to.
