Social networking sites are good and bad for friendship. There are numerous ways to communicate with friends on those platforms but it also means that it is possible to create fake relationships. It's a mix of good and bad.

For me and from my experience it does help friendship as I do interact with a lot of people that I deem fit online and I love it

I've always used social media platforms in a healthy manner. This is why I vehemently believe that all of the social media platforms I've used and still using have been very helpful with my friends and other inter-personal relationship.

Well it is not everytime you get to connect with all your friends physically. Social media makes it possible to maintain the connection with them when meeting physically is out of the question.
So to an extent, social media helps friendships.

Social media sites are capable of doing anything which is good or bad. If you allow how you make use of it to ruin your friendship, it will not disappoint you in having it carried out perfectly.

The impact of social media on friendships may lead toward positive and negative direction at the same time. Using social media will help to maintain distance friendships because it's a very effective communication tool to keep close contact

I think friendships can be maintained through offline meetings and regular online communication. This will help to build trust and intimacy especially when they communicate deeply. People should make use of social media networks to enhance their connections instead of using it to eliminate personal meetings.

There are many people who doesn't know how to balance things out with how they use it. I've witnessed many occasion where people sit out but are mostly on their phones. How does that help their communication there? It's a bad habit.

It has mixed effects either getting closer to friends or ruining a friendship. It is better for the person not to take what he or she seriously on media like Facebook.

Social media sites will only affect your friendship with people if you decide to give more attention to what goes on online while ignoring and abandoning your friends in physical life.

I agree with you on that in fact I have almost 100 friends I blocked and restricted. Others want to borrow money. What a lazy person.
