Exercise 3: Online and Offline Relationships

Think about your online relationships and answer the following questions:

  1. Download and open the file in a PDF reader. If you can’t do this, you can download this free PDF reader from Adobe.
  2. Modify the worksheets by filling in the editable fields.
  3. No need to return us the documents. Everything will stay completely private!

What do you notice about the online and offline relationships?

Are there some things that you would only discuss/do online? Why is this?

How does this make you feel? Do you see your online relationships differently now? 

Some of the dangers of online relationships:

  • You don’t get challenged – Talking to others like-minded means that you are unlikely to be challenged in what you say.
  • Talking to other people can help you to justify what you’re doing “they’re doing it, so why shouldn’t I?”.
  • It may provide you with the opportunity to do things that in the offline world would make you feel very uncomfortable.
