I honestly find it curious how you befriend all these strangers in online forums up to the point to Skyping often and trying to continue these friendships for years.

I am not saying you can’t make friends online (maybe one or a couple) but it seems like a very high number of people.

None of my friends have these type of online friendships with people they’ve never met. I have friends who live far but they or I moved and keep friendships. It’s different.

Also with these high number of online people how do you keep this regular communication and expect them to regularly respond (you aren’t ok with occasional catching up). Is it possible they just can’t keep up with your expectation of regular correspondence? How is it physically possible?

Is it possible you created these friendships when you were lonely and perhaps not very busy with things happening in real life and they were in the same boat but then it changed, life interfered. I can’t imagine Skyping to whole bunch of online people. There’s only 24 hours in a day.

When pandemics slow down I’d focus on cultivating couple of in person friendships and try to find fulfilling activities in your life and perhaps resume therapy. These online friendships don’t seem to work out with the expectation you have. It sounds more stress than it’s worth
