What is going on here?

Actually i have been having an online friend from a videogame but we moved to social media so we could chat. And he was acting supportive and loving. He said something really cute but then besides heart emojis putted laughing emojis and i asked is this a joke. He got mad that "it's the third time im not trusting him". I explained multiple times it's just the emoji and i have anxiety and i overthink everything. He said"i won't talk anymore". I said i really loved what he said, just the emoji. I held myself back from saying this is childish and manipulative. I told him i really loved it, he said "ok" and kept on replying on everything with that. Told me he's not mad when he is. And used my name instead of sweet nicknames. Playing it hot and cold is so painful. Lovebombing me and then hating me for overthinking which i do by default because of anxiety

Oh hon, he's acting like a manipulative jerk. There are many other guys online who won't treat you like that.

Keep looking. You deserve to be treated much better.♡

I've had several (we did keep it mostly anonymous, but even so) online connections that treated me in a kind, understanding way despite my mental health issues.

Hi

Be very careful with this. I hate to be negative but something doesn't settle well.

Be safe

Hi current,

I been through an online "friendship" like this. We met in a mmorpg thru a guild. He was extremely manipulative and would get upset if I didn't say the things he wanted to hear. He wanted me to talk with him 24/7 and I had to make excuses to why I couldn't talk with him. I wont go into any more details, but it was extremely stressful and my anxiety levels were so high. I finally blocked him and it felt so relieving.

I obviously don't know much about your situation besides what you told us here, but I really recommend to move on before it gets worse.

Please be careful with online interactions. You really don't know the person behind the screen. Not sure I would continue this 'relationship' with him. Just some advice from someone 3x your age.

Tip of iceberg, clear indications. Advice: Abruptly leave the net relationship.
