Sara 1,128 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Are you seriously telling me what a friendship is ? shame on you. Not everyone has the money to see each other all the time. Maybe you should read this http://gagadaily.com/index.php/topic/134662-friendship-is-only-friendship-when-it-is-real/ I said "Probably" not. Sure, it's possible to have a true friend online at a distance, but first of all you need something more than Twitter and Instagram to communicate. :) But it's also best to have some friends that are real and close too.

We communicate via Facebook and Skype. I have friends in my real-life and they are close, but I consider him also as close and real. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 When you are really in trouble, and need a shoulder to cry on, or need a place to stay, or need someone to take you to the hospital, or come to your wedding, do you call on someone you've ONLY met through Twitter or Instagram? Probably not.Why wouldn't he? Just because YOU wouldn't, doesn't mean everyone else would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Actually no, you'll find out the people taking this personal are the people who immediately went on the defensive thinking she was denouncing their online friendships as "fake". A bit sad and insecure really.Actually no, not everyone is fluent in English and doesn't get it the first few times reading that post. What really is sad, however, are people who go around and tell others how insecure they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Gaga was saying that THAT kind of friendship isn't friendship. But where possible, a human connection COULD make it better. I'm guilty of talking to my friends too much with texts and not taking time to go see them, and it makes us distant. So her words really struck home for me as being very valuable and important advice that I need to follow more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like my best friend lives in Greece, how am i supposed to hug him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara 1,128 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The whole fact that we are having this argument about "what did Gaga mean" only PROVES that's she's right about Instagram! If she was here in person, she could have explained herself much better and we'd have a real conversation. So to Gaga for proving that Instagram sucks for having a meaningful conversation!

Vernier 3,786 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Actually no, not everyone is fluent in English and doesn't get it the first few times reading that post. What really is sad, however, are people who go around and tell others how insecure they are. Then lacking fluency in English, maybe it'll be best to thread carefully instead of immediately calling her out and going on the defensive like a few posts did in this thread, it's common sense really The need to immediately go after her as criticizing online relationships despite knowing you might not have a full grasp of her comments, strikes me as a bit silly.

I don't think she's referring to your friend who lives in Greece, more like your friend who lives next door. :spin: It's science, bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just sad how GGD has become a place full of people who find joy in making others feel bad and then not even apologize for insulting them. Everyone has their own definition of friendship and if I happen to disagree with Gaga, I will post it. Just like everyone else. And if there are people who are going to insult me, then I will get defensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
