Hey, so I'm feeling very weird and empty. I just ended a friendship or should I say compabionship that was turning into a situationship for me. I met this boy online. And we started chatting. We've been chatting for the last few days. I really liked him. He was a good boy. We shared many things we wouldn't share to others in life. But the thing is fundamentally we're too different. We're from different countries and different religion too. And from the constant chatting, I was getting more emotionally invested on this. So I had to end it. I don't know if he thinks I'm cruel or heartless, though he didn't express that. He just said it was nice meeting you. But now that I've ended it, deleting every means of contact, I'm feeling kinda empty and emotional. Like a part of my life is gone. What should I do?😭😭😭

Hi stranger I'm a male aged 23 will speak what i think from my perspective 
See, as you said you had different backgrounds or religion and if youre romantically pursuing a person 
You will get hurt if you get attached to him more and more( and he'll also get hurt)
So it is good thing to end it soon if you can't have them in your life 
And yes you can continue it IF you are comfortable keeping them as JUST FRIEND 
also you'll find people who seem good online but can't trust them in real life (seeing some cases nowadays)
Just saying your safety is also important 
Anyways if you know you'll get hurt and there's no chance of being together dont regret and end it for betterment of both
If you wanna just be friends , you can talk with him whenever you like (just as a friend)
And if you think he'll think of you as heartless you can tell him this same thing
