... do you think you'd be rejected by that person... do you fear that you'll be rejected and he/she won't be your friend anymore?

If I were handicapped a real friend would not care. I know because my very best friend had her leg amputated and she was afraid how I would react, I told her she was no different to me, she would always be my best friend. If a person is a real friend they R there no matter what. And that goes for a online friend as well. R looks or health can change at anytime thats not the reason someone is your friend, its because of who U R inside.
Ciao!

My health condition is one of the first things that comes up when I start IMing with someone new, because I use only one hand to type, and am sometimes slow answering. I tell why I type slow so that it won't seem as if I'm antisocial or that I don't really want to chat. I've been online for enough years now not to be concerned about whether or not I'll be rejected. I'm an adult who only goes on sites where adults go anyway, and most people I'm befriended by and befriended with, take people as they are because that's the same they'd appreciate as well. So, my answer to your question is no, I don't fear I'll be rejected or that he/she won't be my friend anymore.
A friend is a friend, finding out I have a health condition is not going to change that relationship.

There's a chance you would be rejected as some people would not be impressed by being lied to by omission. On the other hand, it wouldn't worry other people at all. It would not worry me.
My opinion is that if you told a person and they rejected you they would be too judgmental anyway, so take the chance and tell them about your handicap.

if that person does reject you then he or she is not a friend to begin with. if the person's attitude changes after you tell him/her then I wouldn't be bothered at all. in fact i would be glad that I eliminated a shallow person from my life. Please don't ever think that a physical handicap should have to deprive you from having friends and don't get hung up on people who are not intelligent enough to appreciate a person for the kind of person they are on the inside--that is all that really matters.

An online friend...or a real life friend....shoud accept you for WHO you are....not WHAT you are.
You should not fear rejection from someone on the other side of a computer screen. Online friendships are built on personalities, not looks. Look at me....I'm a gray man head....I promise you that is not the real me....but if you were just judging me by my looks....would you take a second glance....NO.....but...if you were to get to know me...by my personality...you would not even notice the gray man head!

Well, I had a friend on Aol for the longest time. I knew him for years, we joked and talked in chatrooms(I was one of those dorky RP'ers) for about 4 years. After about 4 years I found out that he was handicapped and it didn't sway the way I thought about him in the least. He's still a cool dude, who the hell cares about any handicap when it comes to personality?

if they are a good friend, they will not care, and they'll be happy that you are being honest with them. if they have a different reaction, then its best for you to find better friends anyways. offer to answer their questions and apologize for not being honest from the beginning, and tell the, how much their friendship means to you. good luck!

Why should that matter to anyone? If your online friend has a problem with he/she is probably not worth having as a friend.

If that person rejected you, then they didn't deserve to be called friend, anyway.
