Mainly the ability to reach people who are like-minded, or who just like me for who I am. Many people don't think you can have fulfulling friendships online, but I ask what are they doing with their friends that involves physical contact? Yes, it's different, but it can still be a real friendship with the right person. The people around who we make friends with in real life are often just those who happen to be there from school, uni, work, whatever. LiveJournal gives a great opportunity to find those people out there who I begin to feel don't exist! Also, of course it's nice as it serves as an outlet for things I couldn't discuss with real life friends, partly because I'm not as close to them, but also partly because I just want to be able to go around uni without people knowing my deeper problems, such as health issues in detail.

I couldn't agree more. I have some wonderful RL friends but I'm just as grateful for my online friends. I love that distance doesn't matter. And sometimes it is just easier to write things down to say them.

:) That's true. And it's great that we can meet people from afar who have similar views, because the people around me don't really share mine!
