Obviously people are trying to take advantage of your emotional side since you said that this wasn’t the first time such thing has happened…I’m in no place to offer you advice since my approach for such situations is opposite to you(I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt),but if there’s a thing you can TRY and do,is just act “Neutral”,don’t sympathize and do not get angry,it’s tough to control such emotions but it is do-able.

I guess that’s my problem with this approach. It takes advantage of my natural inclination to sympathy. I feel that if the story is true, I want to be kind, but if its not I’m angry…but as I have no way of knowing, it puts me in a bind, using a persons own good nature to hurt them…

I came to believe in two things about us humans,is that we are lonely and somewhat fucked up…This fan mail is a solid proof for the first and maybe the second too(I really don’t wanna question this person’s tragic life it it did exist).
People who are lonely tend to confide in people they feel like they know and by this I mean people like you,famous people,they feel like they know you well enough from seeing you on the internet and in movies, that they can confide in you,try to get your sympathy,in other words they feel that you can be their friend,So they would do things to get your attention like making up a tragic story (Not that this is a fake story but I highly believe it is so).
All I’m really asking you here is just have a bit of patience w/this sort of people,all they need is a friend,unfortunately they thought this friend could be you.
On a side note another awesome blog entry keep them coming.
