Many times you can’t know it was going to happen. As some who is bipolar and struggled with suicidal thoughts most of my life, you wouldn’t know. The thoughts had been so constant they became background noise I learned to ignore. By the time I was ten years old, I knew I had to hide anything that wasn’t “normal”. As far as never meeting the person you knew… I’ve lost a friend I only knew online this way. I never knew their face, their voice, or their real name, but we had been on the same mod team for two years. We found out because their SO posted some details on Twitter. A few people organized an online memorial service. I think we used Twitch for the audio for some readings and Discord for discussion. These things were no different from the friends I’ve known in person. Relationships are relationships.
