Interesting article I read over the weekend:
More than anyone else, introverts are masters at prioritizing quality over quantity, especially when it comes to friends. They form fewer but deeper relationships with people. Amazingly though, many introverts thrive in the online world. Perhaps because online communication and networking gives them more time to think and reflect about how to express their responses as compared to real-world conversations.
7 Positives Only Introverts Would Understand




I don't agree 100% with the entire article, but this one I absolutely do. Online communication is just as valid to me as in-person communication, and lets me deal with things at my own pace. Online relationships can be built on common interests and experiences, not just accidents of geography or employment. There's zero pressure to develop a romantic or sexual connection.

Quality not quantity, few but deep; these things ring true. When I do develop a connection, I take it seriously. This isn't a lesser friendship than one I have with someone I've met in "real life". If I've let you into my life, then I've shared personal things and I've hopefully been supportive/encouraging or helpful to you in some way. So I do take it hard when I get cut out of someone's life, whatever their reasons.

 


On the subject on dealing with things at my own pace:

Unless you're a close family member, email me. I'll probably get back to you faster.
