This reminds me of an online friend that I thought could become a real life friend. This member was near my age, had the same personality type and lived in the same region. A lot in common and many messages, for about a year. They then said they might leave the site but I said we could still message outside of the site. I didn’t get a reply on that, then a few days later they said they had computer problems. That’s certainly possible so I gave them the benefit of the doubt.
Later that week I saw the account was deleted! It took me about a month to process that.  I thought I made a real friend. It’s been decades since I had a close real life friend. I agree with the theory that these people have issues, not us. Still it hurts.

This is the woman who I knew online and who ghosted me. The one who cancelled the date on me without rescheduling doesn't really bother me. I still struggle to understand how the woman I knew online could lavish me in praise and love and support only to ghost me one day. I don't think she was insincere about our relationship, since she sent me gifts and many, many pictures and videos of herself. People have suggested she's just emotionally unstable due to past trauma, which makes sense to me. Still, it doesn't feel good. Even if I'm not actively crying or feeling pain about it anymore, I still think it's a horrible thing to do to someone, past trauma or not.
