The best thing you can do for your friend is let her know that you miss her.

It's somewhat common for teenagers/young adults with low self esteem, especially girls, to go through this phase, because they're insecure with themselves and think things would be better and it would be easier to cope if they let a character they admire "stand in" for them. It means any social blunders or risks are then on the shoulders of the (often much more outgoing/opinionated) character. It's a pretty elaborate fantasy, often backed up with all kinds of mystic explanations (some of which I'm sure your friend has told you), but she probably desperately wants to be liked for herself and thinks that she won't be. She'll most likely grow out of it, or it will wear her out eventually when she realizes that she, herself, needs emotional support and people who value her. The quickest way to help her get over it is to tell her that you already value her, and that she's the one you want to spend time with.

Your compassion is a credit to you.

[the-and-moose.livejournal.com]

I very much agree with this annon's assessment of the situation.

Speaking from experience, I've had friends become someone completely different from who I knew them to really be. It's very hard to let go of the friendship (in my case, I kept seeing glimpses of what they were which made me want to try to get even closer to them) but, at the time, the separation and slight distancing of myself was the right thing to do. My friend needed to realize that it wasn't all the bells and whistles she added on which I valued, but rather the person who she really was. (Not to say I abandoned her, I was very much there for her, but I did my best to not be there for the characters she had created.)

If your friend goes off to college, I suspect that she'll have a bit of a hard time there. Most people use their freshman year as a time to try to figure out who it is they are. I hope that you are able to stay in contact with this person to help support them through this time.

All my best wishes go out to you in this. It is a very difficult situation.

How you can pretend to be Matt from Death Note still baffles me, man. The guy was only in ten panels of the manga.

This.

[muse-of-melissa.livejournal.com]

You start by being into BDSM for no reason... Oh wait, no, that's just fandom's portrayal of him. I have no idea how you would pull that off. Anyone who's ever played a video game in their life claims to be a "Matt" type. ...which would make everyone I've ever met one.

[thegutterati.livejournal.com]

I've had some friends like this. It's really sad, and I feel your pain. Hopefully she will grow out of it c: (most of my friends did)

[starshipblues.livejournal.com]

This secret is so sad. :( I hope you get your friend back soon, OP.

[fearless-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Trufax: girls who relate to Matt will pretty much do whatever you want them to.

I mean sure you could try to fix her and stuff, but come on, free sex.

[oflittlebrain.livejournal.com]

Dude, I could play charades with someone for hours and I don't think I would ever guess if they were pretending to be Matt.

That was a really weird way to say that, but you know what I mean.

[crimsontriforce.livejournal.com]

That's three very different personas your friend has O_o Anyway, I hope you'll get her back, anon. :( Do tell her that you miss her.

[elphie27.livejournal.com]

I really hope that you can get through to her. I had a very similar situation in high school, and said friend became so wrapped up in her fantasy that she couldn't disconnect when people really needed her around. It got so bad I had to part ways with her, and as far as I can tell, she hasn't really moved on from that. My two cents is to take the first anon's two cents and run with it. If the relationship is too far gone, take care of yourself first. Fantasies are resilient for a reason

[muse-of-melissa.livejournal.com]

If your friend portrays wimpy, masochistic, abused, OOC Matt, it might just be best to find new friends. Just sayin'.

[baranohanayome.livejournal.com]

A bit late to the party on this one, but it has to be said: If your friend is pretending to be SEPHIROTH, then she needs more help than you can probably give her. It's best to just stay out of her way. Faaaaaaaar out of her way.
