Title: Best way to tell someone to get some help?
Post by: Pooh21 on October 26, 2005, 10:46:15 PM
Ok on this other forum I post on, a friend there recently said she lost her boyfriend in Iraq. Now I thought it was odd that I had not heard of any casualties in the day before she posted,but I figured it would probably be a few extra days before they notified the girlfriend in another country, as she said in the post where he died, she was just now going to make contact with the family. Now then, 2 days after this post she went to the funeral in America and back to Europe in the space of 2 1/2 days. Which means there must have been only a few hours spent on the ground at night. After that I thought it was wierd so i figured to look at the cnn list of casualties, and there is NO one with the same: Name, time in, age,or hometown.


This sucks to find out a friend is making up stories like that. I was really hoping that,that boards resident "former special forces" guy would trip up and would be outed in a level of MrBlack/Straiga hilarity straight from the Oclub. But its not as cool when its a friend that does it.

Easy, just stop dealing with them.  If they lie to you about something like that, it's obvious that the "friendship" is one way only and that they don't consider you a real friend at all.

Ask her in details about military funeral, usually it’s very hard to answer unless one has been in one. And / Or ask for an address of deceased family to send your ‘condolences’.

Could be that the CNN list was incorrect.  When I was killed, they didn't get my name right.

Obviously, she's craving attention.

People online misrepresent themselves all the time. As much as you might think otherwise, you don't know anyone on the internet. There's little point in investing any emotion to them.

I should add... many of us do (self included). We are after all, human.

Best way?
Sneak into their house at 4 AM and write in blood on the mirror:

SEEK HELP NOW


People are sociopaths. Ignore them and move on.

Tell her that without her boyfriend, her life is meaningless.

Break contact, and tell her that you were actually friends with her boyfriend, and were just being nice to her for his sake. Now that he's gone, not only do you not feel the need to keep up the charade, but every moment you spent communicating with her, you're racked by the pain of the loss. You're sure she understands.

Well apparently the name of her boyfriend she posted, is just a nickname. and while she flew there, was just his family while they live there that is not where he is from, and apparently he can bounce back from the Marines to the Army as needed, as he is not exactly in one service. The sad thing is all this RPG geeks believe this exact explanation.


Friend? she is bat**** crazy, which opens up fing  with her head as an amusing sport. thats why Slimm50.

Without knowing what she looks like, and what she will and won't do for you, I can't really give you any advice.

I done did, its this other forum, the equivelant of the ostwind drivers there are upset I offended her honor, in saying the Mobile Infantry/Colonial Marine/Rainbow six transfer program might not actually exist. And that this honored member of Hammers Slammers that done gave his life for us in iraq and done won the medal Skywalker did at the end of a New Hope, might just be an exaggeration.
