I met Stefanone151 back in december 2014 (pretty sure this is his username) shortly before he got permanently banned for hack on his first account.
When I first met him, he was about 17 years old and I was older but he didn't mind.
Ever since we met, he connected to this game every single day just to wait for me and talk. We got really close and we even talked on Instagram, so I was always there for him.
He was in a relationship with a girl in november 2015 but they broke up a few months later, and he, being in his Senior year, had to concentrate both on healing from his break-up and his finals. I did everything I could to support him because everyday he got worse and worse (started self-harming and even had suicidal thoughts).
September 12th 2016 was the day he didn't connect. I waited for him all that day so we could talk. I even texted him on Instagram, but he never replied. So, I decided to take a look on his profile and found comments saying: "R.I.P." or ”You will be missed”. I talked to a friend of his and found out he committed suicide that morning.
I was so sad after that, I felt so guilty and I still miss and think about him.
Internet friendships are real too and I think these kinds of loss hit you differently.
