How do you slowly move on from a close online friend?

I know what you feel, I lived in another country for a year or two and I got so many best friends and it was so painful to leave but I had no other choice…

But they were irl people so a lot more easier to still keep in touch, but online? Idk…

Maybe. I’ll be 25 in 10 years.

Sorry you're going through this, Basix.

I've had something quite similar happen about two years ago, but I never got a chance to say my goodbyes to anyone. I haven't let go, and I hate the fact that everything ended in such a blur. You can't just "let go and move on," you just can't. I'm not sure whose idea that originally was, but they need to rethink that for a moment.

I never met Hazel, but she obviously seems really important to you, and still does, even if you haven't seen each other for quite some time.

I'd just try to cherish the memories you two made together. You never mentioned having regrets in the OP (unless im blind..) but I'm sure there are some somewhere. Maybe you have an unresolved argument, you could have said something differently, or you feel like this is your fault. Just try to push those feelings down and replace them with something positive (this sounds like annoying pep talk, but please-). I'm sure she misses you just as much as you miss her. You'll probably see each other again some day. It might not be as close as you'd like, but just keep in mind that it's not impossible. I hope that yall are able to get back in touch at some point, even if it's not soon.

Thanks for the kind words and advice. I’ll stay positive and cherish the fun times we had together.

man, ik that sucks. i was once close to a rind were i live, but he moved without even messaging me... i think the best advice i can give, is to replace them. i mean, might not sound the best, but look for someone like them, some one ur attached to, and best of all... what u are doing!

#46 that’s not the most healthy way to go. I mean it isn’t bad but you’re always mentally comparing them to the one you lost. Unless you’re a chad

The idea is fine but not someone that reminds you of the thing you lost

I don’t think she’s very replaceable. I have tons of great friends, but no one quite like her.
