Oversharing with my Instagram friend instead of friends IRL wasn't planned — it just kind of happened.
Lucy Good from the Sunshine Coast credits that to the availability of online mates.
The 44-year-old runs a Facebook page designed to support single mums, with 16,000 followers. To help run the page she recruited 14 women to help with the page admin.
Despite having never met them, Lucy's grown quite close to the group she calls her "admin sisters".
"We all want to support single mums which makes us quite similar," she says.
"And whereas we don't allow venting or man bashing in the group, when it comes to our little group, we're the first people we go to with our problems."
She says her internet friends are nearly always reachable.
"You have them there at your fingertips all the time," she says. "But it's also OK to leave the conversation and pick it up again when you're ready." She describes the friendships as "very special" and lower maintenance than friends you need to physically see — it's all part of the appeal.
"You can just send a message out, if they are there, great. If not, it's fine. It's easier to maintain," she says.
"The only thing we miss is the contact, the intimacy of touch and cuddles, but we can make up for that by sending love heart emojis!"
Psychologist Leanne Hall says an element of anonymity online can make it easier to share parts of yourself you might otherwise find difficult.
"It means people can often open up a bit more," she says.
And there are many more connection options to find when using the internet.
Lucy says making friends online has taught her how to "connect differently and with different people".
"You are connecting to people you would perhaps not usually meet in real life … and that can be quite life-changing."
