The Social Media Friends!

Yup, You are a Friend Too

From the good mornings to the happy weekends to the “Wow what did you eat and where?” messages to the “Are you ok?” messages…

Friendships Develop

Over time, you start to know them. Not just their usernames, but their lives. The highs, the lows, the messy in-betweens. That’s the wild, beautiful thing about online connections. They can turn into real friendships, even if you’ve never met face-to-face. I’ve got a big crew following me on TikTok and Instagram, and it’s like watching a million stories unfold. Some people are out there celebrating new jobs, babies, or weddings. Others are struggling. Maybe it’s money troubles, a rough breakup, or just feeling lost in life’s chaos. When you’re in their DMs or comment sections, you’re not just a random account anymore. You’re someone they trust, someone they share with.

Be The Cheerleader

That’s when you realize you’re not just a content creator. You’re a friend, a cheerleader, sometimes even a guide. So, how do you show up for these online friends? Start with the little things. Drop a heart-eyes emoji on their post about a new goal. Send a quick “You got this!” when they’re venting about a bad day. If they’re in a tough spot, like dealing with an accident or emotional spiral, just listen. A simple “I’m here, tell me what’s going on” can mean everything. Sometimes they need practical help too. Maybe they’re clueless about a job application or need tips on something you’ve been through. Share what you know, but keep it chill, no pressure.

Can’t Fix It All

The key is to be consistent without burning out. You can’t fix everyone’s problems, but you can be that voice saying, “I see you, and you’re not alone.” Those small moments, liking a post, sending a thoughtful DM, or cheering their wins, build a real bond. And that’s what makes these online friendships so special. You’re there for their big days and their tough ones, even if you’re just a screen away.

Zsolt Zsemba

Zsolt Zsemba has worn many different hats. He has been an entrepreneur, and businessman for over 30 years. Living abroad has given him many amazing experiences in life and also sparked his imagination for writing. After moving to Canada from Hungary at the age of 10 and working in a family business for a large part of his life. The switch from manufacturing to writing came surprisingly easily for him. His passion for writing began at age 12, mostly writing poetry and short stories. In 1999, the chance came to write scripts. Zsolt took some time off from his family business to write in Jakarta Indonesia for MD Entertainment. Having written dozens of soap operas and made for TV movies, in 2003 Zsolt returned to the family business once more. In 2018, he had the chance to head back to Asia once again. He took on the challenge to be the COO for MD Pictures and get back into the entertainment business. The entertainment business opened up the desire to write once more and the words began to flow onto the pages again. He decided to rewrite a book he began years ago. Organ House was reborn and is a fiction suspense novel while Scars is a young adult drama focused on life’s challenges. After the first two books, his desire to write not only became more challenging but enjoyable as well. After having several books completed he was convinced to publish them for your enjoyment. Zsolt does not tend to stay in one specific genre but tends to lean towards strong female leads and horror. Though he also has a few human interest books, he tends to write about whatever brews in his brain for a while.
