Protecting a friend.

I've known my friend Taylor for about 2 years now, we met in 2009, so I think it would be going on 2 years now.

But anyways, Me and Taylor have never met, she Lives in Canada, while I live in the US. But i've had many friends basicly just say they didn't want anything to do with me, cause they were afraid or hated me for no reason, but Taylor said she'd never do that, and well, me and her are still friends, and my question is, how come I have a Need to protect her, even though we live so far apart? Like just a couple months ago, she had to go to Europe for a Class field trip for about 12 days I think, and I actually got sick, like pukeing and fever sick untill she came back. But basicly, I have a strong erge to protect her, and that erge is so stronge, I would die to protect her. Can anyone tell me why?

I've looked all over the internet, and I can't really find any reasons for it.
And basically, if anyone's ever played Final Fantasy 7. Mine and Taylor's relationship is like Cloud and Tifa's.
I'm Cloud, and She's Tifa.

It seems like you have a super, super strong attachment to her. Could it be that you feel like you want to protect her because you want her to always be there for you (since she's the only/one of the few friends who hasn't abandoned you)? Could it be that you're afraid to be alone again?

There's not enough info to go on, but it sounds like you're protecting yourself more than her.

Could the reason they call it "Fantasy" be that it's not real? There is nothing in the game that has anything to do with your life other that what you make it inside your mind.

The real question is why you are unable to have friends in the normal way? You don't explain why people that you call "friends" are afraid or don't want "anything to do with you?" That's the critical information needed to answer your question. If Taylor is who she says she is, there's nothing wrong with having Internet friends but you also need real life relationships with people you meet face to face and interact with.

The difference between real life and fantasy is that you can engineer your fantasies to be what you want them to be. Real life is learning to navigate through the world deaing with people in all kinds of social and employment situations. Try to fix the problems with your "friends," turn off the computer and learn the give and take of real friendships.
