Online friendships are usually built first by reading texts from the messages you share with them. Consequently, a significant fraction of text interpretation and ability to extract mood and emotion through words are required from you or else nothing will really have a meaning!, so whatever you read those messages, you do always need to use something from your cultural, cognitive and even emotional baggage...
...can this mean that when we do like an "online person", or hate them a lot, does it mean that we are loving/hating something about ourselves and no one else?
