How to Make Friends On the Internet

The internet is deeply interwoven into our everyday lives. More and more people are using social media to share their work, explore the work of others, and even make meaningful friendships. Here are some dos and don’ts for (safely) making friends online: Do: Choose the platforms and communities that you care about. Don’t: Be everywhere. Do: Be kind and compassionate. Don’t be super honest (like in a mean way). Do: Connect with people you like. Don’t: Connect with everyone — especially the haters. Do: Build on connections that bring out your best. Don’t: Engage with people who bring out your worst. Do: Be open to making plans to hangout online or in-person. Don’t: Think that because this is someone you met online, the friendship isn’t important.
