WEIRD: Do you consider CCers "friends"?

<p>most of the people i knew aren’t even here anymore :(</p>

<p>I have ‘friends’ but on another forum w/ less ppl. Like I actually talk to them on FB, etc.</p>

<p>No. Point blank. Its the internet for Christ sake.</p>

<p>uhhh honestly i find the thought of having “e-pals” (as i’d describe it?) strange.
When i think of people that have friends on the internet…socially awkward, perhaps creepy and possible middle aged pedophiles that are gonna be Chris Hansen’s next catch come to my mind.</p>

<p>However, there are people on this forum that i generally like and if i knew them personally i’m sure that we’d probably get along with each other…? To be honest, I only know 2 CCers personally-- one that’s going to Harvard in the fall but i don’t even know his username lmao…and another one i met at an EC in my state just because he friended me on facebook and i recognized him since i was sitting right behind him & then i said hi and talked to him for a little bit (probably wll for a while when i’ll see him at tournaments…?)[frequent/well known CCer/HSler ] haha.</p>

<p>I basically don’t really see the people on here as “friends” that would just be too weird. But I do have a list of my favorite CC posters though :slight_smile: (not to sound creepy lool).</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Lol, well that’s a lovely description.</p>

<p>Eh, not on HSL so much. I have a few I might consider acquaintances that I certainly like on the Prep School Admissions forum. I haven’t spent enough time on HSL.</p>

<p>I guess I have CC acquaintances, and it’d be swell to bump into some of the people I see on these boards I guess but…otherwise, no. :p</p>

<p>

<p>lulz nobody has any idea how close I came to necroing this 6 months ago</p>

<p>^Need I remind you, you just joined in May.</p>

<p>well…I guess they are internet friends? I dunno. There are definetly some CCers that I PM a lot and feel a tad attached to. lol. I believe there is one that kept me from quitting when this place got boring enough for me to. :b</p>

<p>I know a couple of people who happen to be CCers (though I don’t think I’ve seen/talked to them on here) who I consider acquaintances, based on IRL interaction.</p>

<p>I have pretty low standards for letting people be my FB friends (leading to massive friend dumps when people I legit know mock me for high numbers), but I do actually talk to three-ish people from the internet (though not from CC) on there.</p>

<p>I have really high standards for calling people friends in general, I think. I eat lunch with a lot of people everyday, have conversations at length, spend significant time with them outside of school, but I still probably wouldn’t call them my friends.</p>

<p>I’m bffs with all of you!!! :D</p>

<p>Says the chick who randomly popped up a few months ago. Lol</p>

<p>I’m fb friends with a few people from an old forum I used to frequent. I became really good friends with a guy I met in a different internet community, and that turned out to be a very bad idea.</p>

<p>no, i consider them cyberfriends</p>

<p>haha this thread is priceless</p>

<p>Nice necroing</p>

<p>I actually think it would be cool if there was a big CC convention where we could meet in person and put a face to a username. I actually am very connected to CC!!!</p>

<p>No, none of you are important enough to think about when I close this tab. I’m just kidding <3 </p>

<p>I’m really not kidding though.</p>

<p>^^ hahah I read the first half of that and I was like this person isnt kidding :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I wouldn’t want to meet the majority of people on here. Too many people that are too involved with academics outside of an academic setting = me punching someone in the face when they talk about the medical internship and how it conflicts with their phd mentor meeting. Just thinking of it gives me hypertension. :D</p>

<p>Yeah, I feel like meeting so many overachievers at one time would end up with me feeling inadequate and dumb.</p>

<p>And angry. If we all gathered in one place, I’d just get annoyed and try to claw through the mass of geniuses to is a normal person.</p>

<p>fascination, welcome to every evening on my facebook.
I’d say that at this point some CCers have become genuine friends. And then there’re other posters I really just look up to.</p>

<p> - like maple, TCBH, Warts, etc. I’m also basically in love with helloel </p>
