Hi there! So I was wondering if y’all could help me?
So, my friend has been really into discord and genshin. This is totally fine and all, I have no problems as long as she enjoys it, but she’s starting to distance herself. At first, it was barely noticeable. She would make her texts shorter and blunter, and she would become a little more emotionally volatile.
Fast forward a couple weeks, she starts adopting personalities from her online friends. She started using different emojis and she started texting differently. She would say stuff she wouldn’t usually say, and she started caring less. Talking to her was beginning to feel like I was traversing a never-ending minefield, every subject was potentially sensitive. I’ve tried talking to her about it, but to no avail.
Now, it’s like I’m friends with a stranger. I don’t even know who I’m talking to anymore. She has like over thirty different personalities, all a variation of her discord friends. She has started ignoring me, and when she isn’t, she’s calling me weird names and saying offensive stuff. She’s being completely flippant towards me. When I told her that I had finally made an online friend, she said to me “Okay. That’s not that great. I have over 200.” Even bringing up anything remotely not about her or her things, she either gets really mad at me or ghosts me for a week.
I honestly don’t know what to do anymore, and since y’all are online all the time and maybe have dealt with this too, could you help?

PS. Y’all can ignore this, I know it’s over-sharing, I just really need someone to maybe guide me a little, that’s all.
I think ur friend needs to take time off discord, ill share my pov since it may be similar to ur friend's. When i started touching discord, i was emotionally invested in it, like SO invested i spent a shitton of money buying roles on my fav server and made lots of friends, it was fun and i felt free. I adopted ALL their slangs,, the way they typed,...... 1 reply

she doesn't deserve you as a friend. i know it might be hard, but you might have to just move on... i've had a lot of online friends before and we've drifted away, even with those people i've clicked with SO well. and its sad, but that's just how it is...... 2 reply
C'est la vie my friend
As you go through life friends come and go and it seems like your friend has already gone. It may be sad but it's best for you to distance yourself from them before she hurts you even more. I know you probably want to help her since it sounds like she's going down a not so good path but we all make choices in life and she ch...... reply
Then at that point, first you’ll have to find out what changed AROUND her, what I’m saying is to get all up in her business if necessary. Try to find out if theres something going on with her family, other friends, or any other outsider(s) that could makin’ her encouraged to change. She shouldn’t be changing for others out of nowhere withou...... 1 reply
alright so maybe have your friend distance herself from discord for a month, as someone whose been on discord for the past 2 years of their life i suggest it, ive taken multiple breaks from discord and its helped quite a lot, yes i still go on every once in a while to talk to some friends, then i leave for a couple days, its nice. reply
ah i’ve actually been through something like this a few months ago and honestly i don’t think there’s much you can do about it lol they’re just gonna keep making you feel like you don’t know much of you’re just stupid i tried really hard to get along with my friend but then she kept getting mad at me for little things and when i came ou...... 1 reply
