Dear sehreen:

Internet communication is real (not always honest but so is life outside the internet). The one typing right now, whose words you are reading is a real person. Everything I write here, including my name is true and real. Notice you wrote that your friends, in what you call “real life,” can be or have been judgmental and you are afraid they will think you are crazy. See, you don’t feel safe with these friends. You don’t feel that they will understand you even though they exist in your “real life”.

This is my recommendation: that you find a friend that will not judge you, a friend who will not think you are crazy for having your feelings nad needs. i don’t.Maybe the guy online didn’t judge you and instead, he accepted who you are and made you feel good about yourself. The guy online, just like me, are real people. I understand you need a friend/ bloyfriend with whom you can spend time in person. Find someone like that guy, someone who will accept you, be a safe place for you to express yourself without fear.

Post again anytime.
