Anxiety about online friendship

...See more Right now Im kind of having really bad anxiety over a friend who stopped talking to me. I have social anxiety and basically zero friends because of that. Like 6 months ago I started talking to someone online and we became friends. We literally talked every day and it felt really good to have someone that I thought was genuinely interested. It wasnt anything romantic although the messages sometimes got a little flirty. So a while ago I noticed that he seemed to withdraw a little from our conversations. A week ago he texted that he wanted to talk and he basically said that he met a girl and wanted to date her. I said he should definitely do that and that he deserved to be happy. He was glad I felt that way and said he wanted to stay friends. But we didnt talk anymore after this. I really understand that hes seeing someone now and that he doesnt want to keep texting other girls even though we were just friends, but I still cant help but feel really bad anxiety cause I feel like he ‘left me as a friend and it became painfully clear once again that I have no friends. Not in real life and not online. I keep thinking about our last text conversation and cant seem to stop. I know its not healthy to be this way and I think it has everything to do with me being lonely/having social anxiety. Whenever I saw his name pop up on my phonescreen it made me smile and now my phone is as dry as ever. Ive cried a lot this past week and I dont know how to get over this. ​​
