My friend has gone weird since

she got the internet.

She didn't have it for years and only got it about 6 months ago. Since then shes gone really odd, joining all sites and only talking to people on the net.

She nearly 30 but she genuinly believes these people are her friends, she talks about taking her small kids and staying with them.

Shes also told me and several other people that she wants to leave her DH and says shes got options to go to America, NewZealand and Canada.

Its freaking me out a bit.

She got into Wicca, absolutly NO problems there, I dabble myself, but she treats it like a game and its all about 'online' for her and I suspect the majority of the people she is dealing wwith are kids, teenagers who just like to be 'gothy'.

Shes really changed and I find her really annoying now, she goes on about lucid dreaming and how she rides a wild unicorn in her dreams every night. And has he status as 'will see you again in my dreams tonight my moonlight unicorn'

I'm not making this up, I am a regular, willing to prove that as long as it doesn't out me.

Its just bizarre. Plus now she keeps hinting that shes gay!

I'm completely confused and I know her DH is embarrsed with her odd behaviour, I feel really sorry for him.

Not sure what Im asking really but just waned to vent a little as just has bizzare MSN convo with her and find her totally different and strange!

I've just read that back and am going myself here so god knows what you lot are gonna think.

Its just such a dramatic change in a short space of time that its genuinly worrying me.

I'm doing that too, but I don't know what you can do about it. I'd be worried about anyone who seemed to be losing touch with reality like this. Unfortunately, she'll only do anything about it if she thinks there is something wrong.

I know exactly what you mean as I have seen this kind of "changed behaviour" before with a close frined of mine....

My friend got the net and started making online "friends"...then started travelling round the country meeting various odd people, and eventually got involved with a very odd man who claims to be a spiritualist (but has really only done a "course" in clairvoyancy??)

No wonder you feel sorry for her husband...as for what you can do about it, I guess maybe you could try having a word....explain that you're concerned she may be getting a tad "caried away"?...

All this weridness is probably just a stage she is going through, and hopefully it will pass in time...I guess it's just a bit of a worry whether she makes any major life changing decisions whilst she's still in the "unicorn zone"?...

Flightattendant · 27/01/2010 16:48

Could she have started taking mind altering drugs? Or perhaps she has something pathologically wrong with her...sounds unstable and well, unhinged.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 27/01/2010 17:54

Lol

She sounds like a twat. 'See you tonight my moonlight unicorn'? PMSL indeed.

aSilverLining · 27/01/2010 17:58

Y friend went like this after joining' second life'. Very odd, but relatively short lived.

SolidGoldBrass · 27/01/2010 18:11

COuld she have been stuck in a really boring life in a really boring small town with really boring people around her up until she discovered the internet?
