I wouldn't know about the other members of this forum, but I'm in your shoes. I do have a few friends in real life who call me to check up on me every few days - "Are you ok?", "I'm ok","Good!" - but I miss those things that one would consider unimportant, someone to say "Good Morning!" and "Good Night!" and hear it back from her.

I spent long periods of my life alone but I was younger and things like that didn't matter that much. Now they do. I'm not sure if it's because I feel the end approaching. Maybe....

That's good to know maybwecan and thank you for the info! But since I'm not looking for a face to face relationship, the location of any member, deciding to befriend me, doesn't really make a difference
