some of you may know.
I had a internet friendship (email only and here for a while) that I lost about 3 months ago.
Girls I am still having problems shaking this off.( Its been Three months for goodness sakes)
I know, it sounds ridiculous.
I have had many people contacting me wanting to be friends and never follow through and it didn't bother me much.
However in this friendship we almost talked every day from may to august.
The ending is my fault I guess, I tried too hard.
I have never pursued a friendship in the past I always let them come to me and let it just happen.
I think I was a pest or too pushy and maybe talked too much for the sake of talking I guess
I was accursed of being controlling and wanting this person all to myself which is not true.
This person had a S/O in there life as I do and I never felt like I was controlling or wanting theme all to myself.
I merely was looking for friendship.
Heck I have a very meek personality I feel.
I did express I had this strange connection feeling and had a desire to be "Good Friends"
I was told this is a red flag and maybe it is creepy, I didn't think so.
I have never opened my feelings up to someone like this and maybe it was stupid to express I wanted to be good friends.
All I know is this person liked music and every time I here certain songs I get this empty hollow feeling in my stomach and a depressed feeling I can't shake.
I guess the friendship wasn't as important to this person .
Can you love someone only as a friend this much after just knowing them on the internet or am I just a nut job?
I feel I am a normal rational person but this has effected me in a way I have never had happen.
maybe I am just too sensitive.
I am opening myself up to you girls as I am hurting a lot, I need and could use your advice or if you have had similar experiences this would help.
Be brutal if thats what it takes
sorry for being whiny
Please don't think I'm crazy.
Maybe I am?
Patty
Thanks for the advice and listening and just putting up with me Tiff
You are such a kind person
I hate coming on here and whining like a baby It just hurts so bad I needed to talk.
Its ridiculous I know.
I really don't understand it myself.
I have never had a friendship effect me this way.
I'm acting like a child
Thank you so much for the support.
Patty
Patty , No , You're not crazy and yes you can fall for or have feeling for someone on the net , I too had a similar experience with a man from another site , Once we talked on the phone I feel I came on WAY to strong for being submissive as I am , I had sent him pics before so he knew what I looked like and he liked what he saw , We had a lot in common , He is Bi and had very little experience as I have , Then it just stopped , Obviously we both deleted each others phone #'s , I did because of no contact and I could kick myself , I had a serious crush on him and still think of him often to the point of getting tingly . He did reach out and said hi and its been a while the other day in a message , But no other contact , It's ben months too , All I can say is time will heal and the feeling will subside , I hope !

It happens, it hurts and it sucks. But it is a reality that people come and go. I also had one that I met on CDH and then dissappeared. Sometimes you just feel a connection and bare your soul to them, but like has been said its not always felt or accepted equally by the other person. She's just that into you, springs to mind, thats how I felt. Open yourself upto others here, there are lots of other lovely people to connect with.
All the best for the future
Olivia
Your right tiff I value my friendships more on this side of the fence.
Thanks Teri Joe just to be clear there was no romantic attraction I purely was involved as a friend.
Thank you girls so much
Patty
Hi Patty, Not crazy at all. I am sorry that you were made to feel that way. It is both difficult and easy to be friends online. When we spend so much time either self denying or hiding, we can become leery of offers of friendship when things get deeper than we expected or were ready for. And that person may well be in that head space. And if that is the case, then hope the best for them that they get a chance to reflect on the connection. In the meantime, know you have a community here that supports you!
Michelle
Hi Patty,
Most definitely not crazy. Look at it as their loss. We all feel so much and for some of us these are new feelings. We want to talk and discuss them with others that we hope are going through the same challenges. It hurts when you feel a friend has abandoned you. You aren't whiny. We are all here to listen and support you. You will find more friends. Don't close yourself off.
Angela
Thank you so much Olivia,Michelle and Angela.
I really appreciate you advice and taking time to care.
If it wasn't for this site and girls like yourself I don't know what I would do.
I must say my self confidence regarding meeting friends has been destroyed.
But you girls give me hope.
Bless you all
Patty
Hi Patty,
I'm so sorry Hon, I know from personal experience just how badly this can hurt. I too started an on-line friendship that grew into much more, and even though she, (a CDer), lived 2000 miles away, I felt extremely attracted to her. I was ready to buy a plane ticket to go and meet her in person when she told me she didn't share the same feelings for me. That was the last time we spoke and I felt heart broken for several weeks. Nobody likes to feel rejection but unfortunately it is an emotion we experience from time to time. Use this experience as a learning life lesson, just please don't become bitter. I have met many trans girls thru the years who isolated themselves for fear of rejection, and we can't ever have love in our lives when we hide behind a wall of fear. You will get over this and yes it will hurt for a little while but have faith in yourself and remember, you are a beautiful person both inside and out!!
Big Hugs, Breanna
Hi Bren thank for that wonderful advice, it may stop the hurting some.
I will try to not be bitter I don't think I will.
The hard thing is I am somewhat of an introvert but I was coming out of my shell.
Now I am second guessing every thing I think.
Thank you for sharing I am sorry someone hurt you this way.
I am still praying for you to hun.
Love Patty
Hi Patty,
I'm sorry your friendship didn't work out. I'm sorry you are in pain. I don't think you are crazy or creepy in any way and you always have seemed very nice to me. There is never any way to predict what another person will say or do and sometimes what they do really disappoints us because we allowed ourselves to get our hopes up. I'm going to say keep allowing your hopes to go up. Keep hoping for and expecting the best from people. Sometimes it's not going to go the way you want, like in this case, and it's going to hurt. As long as you know in your heart of hearts you had nothing but good intentions than that's all that matters. I know you are still hurting after three months but I will say it's only been three months. It bothers you because you care. I believe the pain will subside after more time has passed. You were reaching out to someone which is one of the greatest things we can do. Don't let this discourage you from being the kind of person who reaches out in the future.
Hugs
Autumn
Hi Patty,
I think you can definitely connect with someone (male or female) very quickly and form a bond. It has happened to me with partners and friends. Sometimes things just click right?
That being said, sometimes initial excitement of a new bond might overpower a true fit. Sometimes we can really love a person at first but then as time passes we realize we don’t align as much as we may have thought initially. Try not to take it personally (I know that’s hard because it “is” so personal right?!). Sometimes it just doesn’t work out.
This may also be a case where their SO wasn’t comfortable with them having any relationship with another cross dresser. My wife has expressed clearly to me, that she doesn’t want me in any type of relationship, friends or otherwise, with anyone local. So their SO may have pushed them to end it.
Anyway, losing friends is never easy. I’m so sorry for your grief. I think we’ve all been there at some point and it sucks. Time heals everything as they say and it will heal you.
Hang in there girl!!
Pam
Hi Patty,
I know what that hurt feels like. It happened to me about 10 days ago.
I will send you a longer private message either later today or tomorrow.
Jessica
Hi pam , some excellent advice.
I don't think it was her S/O as I had talked to her a lot believe it or not and she was the sweetest person.
My S/O had some issue with this friendship .
I had to talk to my S/O and stand up for myself that I wanted to be friends with her.
I think my friend is afraid she would cause me to divorce.
Which is not the case but if it did happen it wouldn't have been her fault.
That would be my choice to make I think
I will have to get over it however it hurts a lot more than I've hurt in a long time.
Thank you so much Pam.
Patty
Hi Jessica,
I'm sorry to hear you are going through this to.
I would love to hear from you.
Patty
