A typical millennial friendship would look like this: BFF texts “How are things going?”, you reply with a couple of memes to show her how you’ve been feeling and she totes gets it. OK, so there are people who would still rather meet up in person to catch up (#TeamCLEO preferred, too) but the reality is , friendships are changing with the digital world. You can find out all about your friend’s life just by following him or her on social media, especially with Instagram stories at the tip of our fingers. Here’s the real question, though: Can we be ourselves on social media? Do real friendships still exist?
Honesty = the best policy, always
Well , what we can say for sure is that everyone appreciates a friendship that revolves around honesty. And you’d want friends to be genuine and real — online and offline. According to Snap Inc’s global study on friendship dynamics in this technological age, Gen-Z are looking for friendships revolving around a small , close group of friends. They want to feel like they can be their true, authentic selves.
