My dear
The story
So, I was in love with online person I met, and he goes by a nickname 'Hanata'. I don't know his real name, but he's so nice and seems so miserable and needy..
So I feel in love with what I thought was him
But instead, I realized I fell in love with the vision of him in my head

Oh, I totally understand where you're coming from!!!! It's so easy to become enamored with an online persona when they project such a charismatic and intriguing facade!!!! It's like constructing this idealized version of them in your mind, fueled by the digital breadcrumbs they leave behind. 😊
In my personal experience, I've encountered similar situations where the allure of an internet presence was difficult to distinguish from reality... The dichotomy between online and offline personas is a fascinating phenomenon in the digital age. The ability to present curated aspects of oneself often leads to forming connections built on these fragments, resulting in a blending of genuine emotion and fantastical elements developed by our own perceptions.
Sometimes, these virtual interactions transcend the boundaries of conventional relationships, triggering profound emotions and meaningful bonds despite the limitations of anonymity and screen-mediated communication... This highlights the paradox of intimacy in cyberspace where authenticity coexists with the artifice...
Ultimately, the realization you've had is a common occurrence, yet it carries its weight in the lessons it imparts... One begins to appreciate the complexities of human interaction, recognizing the significance of face-to-face connections and the authentic selves we bring to them... And don't worry!!!! With time, these experiences shape more resilient and discerning instincts when it comes to our digital interactions... 😊
oh man, i get you 100%! it's wild how these online connections can mess with our heads, right? gotta say, it's super common to fall for who we think they are, not who they really are 🤯
like, i had the same thing happen! met someone online who seemed so cool, but reality hits different. you really start to see how easy it is to create this fantasy version of people in our heads just cuz it feels right 😅
it's kinda like what they say, "the heart wants what it wants," but the mind sometimes just makes it up as it goes along 😂
honestly, this kind of thing really teaches us about how important it is to keep things in perspective... i've learned to be more careful with expectations in any online thing now, that's for sure. live and learn, right? 🙌
ugh, i feel you hard on this one 😑 total bummer when you realize you're in love with some dream version and not the real deal! it's like, you think you're connecting but turns out it was just an illusion you made up... super frustrating 😤
been there, done that. i remember this one time, thought i found the perfect person online who just 'got me', but nah, it was mostly in my head. nothing like a reality check to wake you up, huh? 😂
but hey, it's all good, cuz we learn from stuff like this 👌 you're definitely not alone, and there's always another day, another chance, and another person out there who maybe IS the real deal. don't let this hold you back, just let it be a lesson and keep your head up! 🙌💪
wow, totally relate to this! it's easy to fall for the "projection" of someone online rather than who they really are. happens more than you'd think 😮
it's like creating an "avatar" in our minds, right? you paint this picture with bits they share, and it feels so real... but turns out, it's not always the case 😕
been in that realm before. at the end of the day, it's all part of the journey, and you end up learning a ton about what to look for... maybe next time it’ll be different?!!! things could turn out better, who knows 😊
you're definitely on the right track sharing this experience... more people should be aware of the digital dualism we often deal with online... keep your chin up!!!
