oh…

i can't believe i didn't think of it.
i don't think i can act that way towards any of my friends, I'd feel selfish if i burdern them with my problems. they have plenty of their own.

I have a close online friend I've known for almost 10 years now that I can talk to about anything. I often feel bad for burdening him with my (mostly self-inflicted) problems and appearing overly negative, but he does the same with me sometimes, so there's an understanding there.

I don't think I've ever thought about him as anything like a fake boyfriend though.

Op sounds like the plot for "needy streamer overload."

Sushi, that's just your average Discord friend.

TvTropes has a good article on the False Friends trope.

something tells me you're a cis man.

youre showing extremely strong signs of being raised under toxic masculinity. Sharing your emotions or problems is not exclusive to lovers, and helping our friends with their emotional trouble is a normal and healthy thing.

Assuming only a lover is able to do that shows that you may have been raised to believe men shouldnt show their true emotions, which is toxic because it teaches you to hide away your emotions which causes them to amplify and grow, rather than express and work through them
