I was thinking about this thread . . . one of my closest friends for nearly 25 years has been diagnosed w/ Alzheimer's. She is doing well on her meds. Visited her this past weekend. We were looking back over the years . . . she is afraid she will forget parts of her life. We started writing emails in 1994. We are digging up some of our favorites and saving them for her as a diary.
The thing about having a close friend over many years is . . . they know our history; they know our hearts. How sad to lose that chronicle of life that the two of you share!
Close friends can keep us sane . . . my husband loves my friends as he says they have to listen to all the chit chat and details he doesn't want to hear about, hee hee hee.

Many things can bring "kindred spirits" together, including an online forum.
Like I said, I met one of my very best friends here initially several years ago and we are friends in our real lives off of the computer
The person you described above sounds like she could use a real friend, perhaps you could spend some time with her and get her off her computer

That would be a sad state of affairs, indeed . . . but how do you know so much about someone you aren't friends with. ???
Not everyone who posts on forums makes up a false identity. I have found that the people I met "in real life" from our Charlotte forum have been just who they appeared to be online. I met one of my business partners on the Charlotte forum! And Loves and I got really lucky - our husbands became friends, too!
Kindred spirits do somehow find one another . . . and one of the blessings of life is having good friends.
In the movies, woman (especially) usually have a best friend who they spend lots of time with and are super close and tend to treat each other almost like a spouse. (Fighting and loving like a spouse but without the sex)
This is exactly me and my best friend, she doesn't even need to say something because we think the same thing at the same moment, we often have the same reaction or tell the same thing at the same time, we're always in touch with each other, phone, texting, we can spend a whole day together outside and then when we get back home we talk for hours on the phone, i think we are friendship soulmates.
Our friendship can be confusing to some people, a few people asked us if we were not in love with each other , that's not the case at all, we love each other like sisters
I have a few really good friends. At certain points in my life - college and grad school - I had friends like in the movies...but I also had a lot of free time back then, my best friends all lived within a couple of miles of miles of me and we didn't have full time jobs so it was much easier to spend more time together hanging out, talking, getting in to arguments and having fun adventures. I just don't have as much time anymore.

Why are you here wasting your precious time spewing diatribes at fake and hypocritical forum entities??? ...when you should be interacting with friends/enemies in the "real world!" Just saying...
Yes, I have a best friend (other than my spouse). Him and I are not inseparable, as you put it. We do communicate with each other on a daily basis, sometimes several times a day, because we are into the same things. He asks my opinion, and I ask his, and we influence each others buying of hobby type items. We share our toys with each other and visit each other's homes. We enjoy dinner's together with our wives included. We are both into shooting sports, we support each other and help each other when ever we can.

Dont waste your energy on people like her. I've dealt with them plenty-a-time and for them, life is all about being in a clique. I am so glad i removed myself from that type of scene.
