Do people genuinely chat with people they friend on here ?

From my experience we chat when first friending each other and in my head I'm like 'OMG I FINALLY HAVE AND ONLINE FRIEND !!', but It only lasts for about a week or so and I honestly get a little bummed out about it. I just wish the chatting was consistent (╥ ᴗ ╥) ALSO THIS IS NO SHADE TO THOSE I'VE CHATTED WITH BEFORE, I LUV YALL !! ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎ ₊˚⊹♡

some people, i'm too shy most of the time to text first but once they text me i'm straight yapping

sometimes yeah. depends on the person though. i talk with friends i actually know in person (only really 1 but i digress) more than people i've met online, and i've learned that in person friendships are probably a lot more genuine, but i still enjoy talking to the folks i have friended on here.
