Is it normal to be broken?

I'm utterly broken, I can't describe how I feel right now. I grew up with not many friends and I've always struggled to make friends, I searched online to see if I could find people like me, and I found people, I found my best friends online.
A lot of you won't agree with that but I met one of the most amazing people, it was like the best friend I've always wanted. We've spoke for a few years now, he has a few issues which have sometimes made it hard but a day without them (them being one) kills me.
Now they have just gone without a reason. Always a catch with the Internet and I always knew there was catches with it. But I became too attached I'm left with nothing, as I don't have anyone in real. It feels like I'm grieving for someone. I'm just heartbroken. Also being ignored by someone so close kills.

I feel like it'll never go away. How do I get through this? And is it normal?

    Sorry this has happened to you. It's happened to me a few times, and is still a big fear for me. If you ever need someone to talk to I'm here.

    an internet friend is a friend that you can only interact with him with the internet and telephones. you can't go out with him, you can't play physical games with him, you can't touch him (I say him all the time for short but it could be her), you can't ineract with him like in the real life. Finding friend is kinda random, as you progress in life (going to school, working, encountering someone somewhere outside in dayly life etc etc. I had real provlem finding friends since I was 7 years old, and I realized at 15 years old that searchi ng for friend was a bad idea, since I would change my personality to please poeple. I started having friend when I stoped worying about it. wich also removed my fear of getting hated. I just stopoed care about what poeple think about me, and do and talk like i wanted

    I agree, let it out, cry into your pillow an hour before bed...haha...works for me. I also grew up kinda lonely. Swopping schools lessened my friends however I'm at university and that makes social interaction mandatory at times... I've also reconnected with old friends. My experience online has taught me that relationships here are fickle. While they can be exciting, personal and pleasurable... I found my ex partner online ... xD... the detachment is quick and I think you are a feeling person which is wonderful but you must do what is good for you, and moping about the past won't help. Try making other friends, maybe one or two in real... Find a hobby or get busy to take you off that sorrow.

    Normal. Just keep ur sense of humor and dignity by day. Keep living (whilst realizing there are 1000s of people around you). And cry into hour pillow by night. Don't dwell tho. because your mind will keep going str8 one way...like a bike in motion.

    I've lost friends too, not online ones but ones irl. Going to college really separated us so I had to make new friends. And after college is over I'll probably lose them too. The loss used to really affect me but not so much anymore.

    Got2 to suck it up,no way around it.Its good to have close friends and it sucks when that friendship goes away but such is life,..people come and go,friendships start,end...start again.Celebrate life,not people.
