How do you deal with a friend or friends that is/are depressed?

Do you find that spending time with someone depressed brings you down?

I have heard many times in the last two years since I have been here these words �I just exist�.

So do you feel that at times you just exist?

If so what would it take to make you feel more alive and give your life more meaning and why?

would you get into a long distance relationship with someone you met online but never seen in person...just phone, email, text, and profile pics

See, that's what I am saying. It is too easy to be someone else behind this screen. I myself was tempted to be one way all the time. I just couldn't though. It wouldn't be me.
This thing we sit behind is a cover up of sorts. We can be whatever we want to be...no accountance. No face to look at. No eyes to know how the words we say affect the reciever.
At one time; I thought I could be completely nice or could say whatever bad thing or attack with no conscience. Well, that didn't work for me. I found I was'nt like that in real life, why would I want to be that way here?
I feel the consequences on this side; same as I would in person. I want people to know me. The good, the bad, the ugly.
In this way.....the only surprises in person would most likely be...how fun I actually am.
Example; some here may think I would be a boring God talker. That would not be true. I am a fun loving, loud, out there kinda gal. Rough and ready, playful, kind, and a fierce protector of my friends and family.
I think most of that I portray here. But, some only see one thing.
So....I am accountable to myself. That matters to me.
The world of cyber is a mask of many faces.

Have you ever said I love you with no reply?
How about hearing someone loved you but not replying?

Talk about awkward moments. I can only imagine as it hasn't happened to me thankfully.

Why do I only post while intoxicated?

can we take that as a yes

had a secret relationship?
