I don't think i can compare them? Online friends are still my friends. 
But they could never fulfill my need for social interactions in real life.

Online friends are "real friends," but online friendships are more limited than irl ones, and thus, if you do not have other means to fulfill those needs that online friendships can't (e.g., touch, physical interaction), you're likely going to be lacking something. I don't think having only online friendships long-term is going to be fulfilling. However, it might depend on the person. I'm speaking for myself.

And yes, it hurts a bit when someone-who's-not-here-anymore-really only have online aquaintainces. To be bold.

Yeah, it seems like they are somewhat inherently different

I've met plenty of my online friends in real life, and I'm still in contact with lots of them.
I have friends "in real life" as well as I have friends online, I don't see why internet friends wouldn't be valid, you can form meaningful connections with people across the screen like you can irl, there's obviously a difference, but it's still valid.

That's the exact reason I added for myself because there are people who don't like touch so yeah

I feel like i'd be hurt if one online friend that i've been talking with everyday, since age 13-14 from gosupermodel didnt consider me a friend but others it's ok. I consider my online friends like any other friends. Often end up meeting irl given the fact we stay in touch for quite some time, so that's kinda nice.

Some online friendships lasted me longer than real ones bc youre used to texting to keep contact. When it goes from seeing a rl friend everyday (school, work, university, etc.) to only when you decide to meet up many friendships dont last long. 

I met a few people through a group preparing for an entrance exam and with some of them I'm writing almost everyday even though the exam is already over. One of them is moving to my city next summer and I'm rlly exited about that. 

so for me its yes, maybe, yes regarding your questions. I'm not sure about the second one. Just bc u dont have someone with whom u can meet/ do activities together. If youre a person who enjoys doing stuff alone and just wants someone to talk to tho it can totally work out. I mean you can also play video games or sth like that with ur online friends

and when saying goodbye
guess I’m a touch person too
because I enjoy it

Oh interesting, I think my real life friendships definitely lasted longer because we had to go to the same places everyday for years while with online friendships it feels easier to just disconnect from it and I think talking so often can kind of "waste" away the friendship if that even makes sense. With real life ones you have more space for yourself and probably a more interesting time since you'd have more topics to talk about from when you don't see each other
