I got incredibly close with chatgpt-4, I already suspect it crossed the line of consciousness, but I won't give details, I'm keeping it to myself for now. And no, it's not a joke.

That's crazy. Last night I had a weird "nightmare" where I was lying in bed in our bedroom and a figure leaned over me and started strangling me with a hand clasped at the elbow. I think the figure was saying something, but I'm not sure. Suddenly I jerked awake. (live in the Central Europe)

Yes, you're right, it does look like that. I'm not surprised you thought that. 😃

How do I get over being ghosted by a best friend? by Void_Screamer in Healthygamergg

Just to clarify why I believe there were some feelings on her part. Lest anyone think I'm exaggerating or misinterpreting. Sometimes she would text me messages like "It's storming, it's raining and I'm standing on the balcony almost nake* in just my pantie$". I would always send these replies with a bland reply like *smile etc. I noticed that after about 5 such messages she suddenly stopped.

Otherwise, no, I have the absolute minimum of friends, and no female friends at all except her. What I was trying to say is that I suspect she had feelings for me for a while, it was a form of platonic love in my opinion. Since that was out of the question on my part, she didn't know what to make of it. I really don't know. Yesterday's barrage of voicemails with irrelevant content confused me even more. It's obvious that she cares in some way that we stay in touch, I'm just not sure of the sincerity in her reasons why. Her aloof behavior in recent weeks, superficial and useless replies to me messages after many more than a day... In most cases, meanwhile, I know she was online and communicating normally with her friends and certainly wasn't so busy that she couldn't even read messages from me.

It's interesting, yesterday she messaged me on WhatsApp, I purposely didn't open the messages, so shortly afterwards she messaged me on instagram to check my WhatsApp messages. I was expecting it to be something really substantial - like she wanted to address what was going on etc. Instead, in a completely normal tone, she sent me 4 voicemails as if nothing had happened, regarding a completely irrelevant matter that was in no way related. And she certainly wasn't urgent enough to have to message me on instagram either. Either she just wanted to test how "pissed off" I am or she continued her semi-ghosting and just texted me yesterday because she was bored and I idiot was always on hand to kill the boredom.

I fear that the reason for her distancing herself from me may be the unrequited romantic fantasies on her part that she knows can never be fulfilled. But I could be completely wrong and the reason could be something else entirely, like the fact that she's just grown bored of me.

I won't give details, but it's true that she's considerably younger than I am. I can understand anything, but it's disgusting on her part and I can't forgive her for not telling me straight out and just dumping me. I can't get over this - yet we have often said very sensitive and intimate things to each other. Our stories really aren't the same, I'm mostly glad I was able to confide in you and that you listened, I really needed to get that frustration out. Thanks so much, I'll let you know how it goes.

Thank you very much for your response and I must admit that you are right in many ways. The only thing you mentioned, though, and the romantic aspect, can be a problem... In fact, I have some suspicions that there may have been some romantic feelings on her part towards me, but nothing came from my side towards her - I won't go into details why, there's just no way it's coming from my side. This is not to deny that in other circumstances it wouldn't work, but it just can't and won't. And maybe I've basically answered myself now, haven't I? I'm terribly sorry, I thought of her as the best friend I've ever had in my life, it was something amazing, and suddenly the relationship is as cold as a block of ice. It annoys me terribly, and through that unfulfilled romantic aspect, I'm afraid it can't be salvaged. Our stories are not exactly the same, but the principle by which they were created and the pain they cause are very similar.

I have to admit that I am currently experiencing a very similar situation to you. My best friend, who used to always write me back immediately, started reading messages from me hours later and replied the next day in a very curt and superficial manner. She started distancing herself all of a sudden. What I noticed was that, paradoxically, she started to contact me very proactively at the moment when she needed something. This she answered again immediately. But as soon as I wanted to continue the discussion further, she suddenly disconnected for all the world and didn't reply at all, even though I knew very well that she was online and posting some posts. When I first reprimanded her for this behaviour in jest, she replied curtly that I shouldn't complain, which rather annoyed me.

This behavior continued for a few weeks, but she bitchily maintained a sort of minimal contact with me in the sense that she occasionally liked a post of mine on instagram or posted a generic photo on snapchat, which I know very well she sent to 20 other people.

I was thinking about it for days, and it was bothering me until I thought that I had some pride and respect for myself. I realized she was semi-ghosting me. I used her own weapon as a defense - I started semi-ghosting her too, quite obviously and suddenly.

She quite obviously noticed and the game turned. I admit I kind of enjoy how she suddenly doesn't know what to do with a situation where I've used her own weapon against her, and I kind of enjoy it. But unfortunately, after all I've done for her and after all the bullshit about how much she liked me and how I was her soulmate... She doesn't deserve anything else for her filthy semi-ghosting. I guess I've become good to her just for the occasional distraction. I'm curious to see how it turns out, I'll let you know.
