Many people prefer virtual communication
and friendship as it does not require exchange of non-verbal signs and
emotions, a separate place (room, cafe) for a meeting or a well-defined time
schedule.
The users of virtual communication can
hide truth easier, avoid uncomfortable questions and discussions by a single
click of the mouse.
Often, they create their personal profile with
a fakes personal data or a photograph of unknown people.
It provides more confident and safety to
be a person one likes to be. Thus, the virtual space gives a certain freedom
from personal complexes such as being shy, for a example.
