Have you ever had an online friend who was a source of emotional support? Have you ever been a source of emotional support?

This is from a girl I have known online for a while now.

I know she lost her mother recently and she has a few health problems so I talk to when she is down and ask how she is doing.

It doesn’t feel like I’m really doing much but she says I have been a source of support.

Yes, when I was single, I met a few gaggers in real life. And am married to one (not intended).
I am still in contact with a few friends here and we call each other from time to time to catch up.
one has been for 10 years. He just got pregnant with his woman…so he was under a lot of confusion … he is 10 years younger than me … that’s correct he was like early 20s. Now he is 30s. It’s really cool to “watch” him grow.
another who went through a few divorces…he is engaged to be married again…this time seems like he got a good woman.
I generally like to meet/call rather than message/text. Because I don’t have time to text.
Its kinda like free therapy.

Well, I never needed any sort of emotional support as my life has always been great. Never had any major issues in life that required help or support.

However, yes I think I have been a support to some people online though they were not my friends.

Friendships don't last in my life.

Small number but yes, there are quality people with whom one might connect and find just the right kind of support one needs

No, I never get that close to people online.
