Hi, amde20,

I have a couple of friends but I’m aware I can’t count on them if things get critical. I’ve made the test and they got confused and unresponsive; I ended up feeling worse at the end. I’ve never tried online dating sites since I’m too scared of signing up and putting on a picture of myself. I’ve met this guy over a game I used to play. My experience is just one of the awful things some people are capable of when they’re lying behind a screen many miles away. No real repercussions = no guilt, unfortunately.
I think you’re right in taking a break from all of this. I was trying to do the same before all of this happened. I’ll do the same once I can. For the time being, I just can’t. It might take some time to tame my feelings again.

Thank you for your response, amde.
