Seriously. My friend we will call him Tristan has now lost his touch with the world around him, he's getting to that point where he thinks friends from the net are better than real world friends cause these people actually listen to him.

 

I want to help this guy, I really REALLY REALLY DO! He hasn't been out his house in two weeks, he's barely eating, and he's fallen in love with his virtual girlfriend, & who knows how long it's been sence he changed his clothes and taken a bath. He's basically lost himself to the actual world, his days are spent telling this supposed chick I love you, playing MMO's, and saying were the one's with problems, and that were not actual friends...he's no longer a friend with a guy we've both known for close to 10 years.

What this guy has is MUCH MUCH more than any dose of Evercrack could do to someone.

This guy is basically a drone, his mom doesn't care and his older sister has a baby so she doesn't have time for it...I don't even think I've seen the poor guy at school. I mean what do I do? Do I let him keep going this way and find out the hard way, or do I bring him softly.

I mean I understand not being social but Tristan has brought it to an entire new level...he's friends with this guy named Josh that doesn't have real friends, just internet friends.

All joking aside, I can relate to how you feel. The past few years my wife has been making Internet friends through Star Wars Galaxies and World of Warcraft and continues to chat with these guys on Ventrillo even when out of game. I believe she has lost some touch with reality and no longer wants anything to do with me and we are getting a divorce. I honestly don't have an answer for you... If I did, I may have been able to save my own marriage.

I'm sorry to hear that guy. I guess were both at that point where we don't know what to do, a brick wall so to say. But Tristan, I'm honestly scared for him. The guys sense of reality has been shattered, now MMO's and this suspicious girl is bugging me. I'm afraid of losing my friend. It kept me up till 4am last night, I've come to the point that no matter what choice I make someone's gonna end up hurt.
