Can I ask why? I've done video chats and phone calls with some of them. Pretty much the same as in person. I have friends all over the world and it's incredibly cool when we talk about native animals, terrain, slang words, culture, etc. It's a world of amazing people.

I don’t have a particular answer. I don’t understand your question actually. You make it sound as having online friends is a requirement or not having them is some kind of deficiency. Is that something people have to have?
I have ton of friends, family, husband, kid, stepkids, niece and nephews, hobbies, career, travel regularly, I belong to various organizations, volunteer etc I have a very busy life.
Yes I have friends who live in other countries because either I or they end up moving. We keep in touch regularly and at times when one of us travels overseas we manage to meet, but not that often.
I do understand other cultures and world being an amazing place. I am trilingual, fluently speak all three, i lived in two countries, I travelled to 20 countries (several of them way more than once) and travelled around about half of the US. And I continue to travel
You make it sound like not having online friends make me somehow stuck in a mud or not understand amazinglness of this world?
Perhaps I misunderstand
