    Nah, I just find people from IRL harder to trust than people from the internet. :/

    Being a child, I've had all this e-safety stuff shoved down my throat, even if I built up the closest bond with a person on the internet, I'd have to meet them (with adult supervision, of course) before even contemplating whether I should give them whatever Pocket Money I have lying around.

    Never said you could trust real people either. Trust no one.

    I trust only 3-4 people on the internet (all skyblock) and 3-4 people IRL.
    I'm pretty sure the people on skyblock will know who they are :) or have a slight feeling.

    I trust maybe 2-3 people online on skyblock (and one of them is iffy) I have trust issues I guess. I used to trust people more but then people started taking advantage of my kindness and I sort of shut in to myself. I am very careful about who I loan or give things to :(. I wish I could trust people more but they haven't earned it.

    I don't really know what to say for this one.

    Almost all my friends i have met online have turned out awesome.

    One friend, @slytiger28, I met, talked a couple of times, and now we are the best of friends. He paid forward over $100 to the server in my name to get my /kit spawner and 50 donor. In return, i stayed his friend. we now, have known each other for 2 years, and we are cool.

    Another friend, Maka_X_Soul95, I met over facebook, talked, and now, in a couple of years, is coming to my country to visit and stay with me for a while. We have talked over skype (face-to-face) and to this day, she is the best thing that has happened to my life. Fully supportive, very respective and friendly, faithful and just the best person to have in your life. (NO, we are not gf, bf)

    Yes, don't trust just everyone you meet, but if you know each other for long enough, talk to them over skype, facetime etc, and you see each other, when they trust you, and you know they are good, trust them

    This basically sums everything up in a nutshell. Very well said.

    Giving someone your trust is like putting an untrained doctor at your care.

    Making friends online is common nowadays but make sure you know who you're talking to... some of my best friends I met online, my friend Jess and I lend each other cash all the time and it's not a problem because we trust each other and are really great friends even though we've only known each other for ~5-6 months. This all depends on factors, but seriously, don't just blindly believe everything someone says on the internet. It's really easy to get taken advantage of.

    I trust no one. They all trust me. That's why I have like a 300$ donor rank on a server.
