I also noticed a smiliar trend where someone would pretend to need pity or attention. Such as saying "I feel so lonely T__T I want to feel loved, will somebody give me an over-the-chatroom hug so I can feel all better?" or something. It is a cry for attention, and I do not like it.
I don't mind people using the chat as a tool for companionship, what I dissaprove of is people abusing the chat to go *beyond* mere companionship. There's not necessarily anything wrong with someone expressing their loneliness, what matters is what kind of attention they hope to derive by doing so.
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
