Is it normal to make fake profiles?

14 Comments

I have made a few fake profiles in the past 2 or 3 years on site called myyearbook (now meetme). My last fake profile ended badly and i hurt someone i cared about and also hurt myself. I thought i learned my lesson the last time but i guess not. Ive had my current fake profile for almost a year now and some of the people that i talked to for a while have now become really attached to "me". I have a fake gf and she is really in love with "me". And i love her. Shes done things with me that she has never done with anyone else. She says she cant live without me and other things. I really dont want to hurt her or the other people that have become attached to "me" but i want this to end. Im going to college in the fall and i dont to carry this to college with me. It is also damaging my 2 year relationship with my bf because i have to give attention to both him and my fake gf and sometimes i have to ignore him. This isnt really a is it normal but i need help on what to do.

Btw i am a straight 17 year old female and my profile is a straight 17 year old male. Idk if that makes it better or worse.

    It seems like it is inevitable for you to hurt someone in this situation.

    I think the best thing for you to do would be to just tell the truth, and apologize afterward. Who knows, maybe you could even still be friends with some of them, if they are willing to forgive you that is... If they aren't willing to forgive you, then are they truly your friends anyway?

    Maybe you just need to start over and work on improving your real life so that you won't feel the need to create these fake ones anymore.

    Relationships founded on lies will always end badly.

    OH MY GOD I THINK I AM THE SAME PERSON AS YOU.

    I do this all the time. I really, REALLY wish I didn't but... everyone (online) just likes me better as a guy! It's impossible!

    I really need to stop this. I'm going to watch the documentary that Zorpox...somethingsomething wrote, if it's online.

    I am SO glad there are others. I mean, I KNEW there were others doing this just no one's ever come to admitting it.

        I use to do the same when I was your age. I just cancelled the account and never spoke to her again.

    My plan? Not telling the truth. Just disappearing...make up a story...nothing serious or heroic, just common and believable...

    I could never admit it to them, but it's going to be hard to stop talking to them but..it has to end.

      You are not good looking enough to be a pro model.

      And yes I know I am too honest to become a politician ( my dream ), all those years I studied economics and sociology have failed me due to adopting the best policy.

      Curses.

    You've got problems.. How can you say 'I hurt someone I cared about' when you weren't even being yourself. It defies logic.

    Someone is bound to get hurt in this situation. If you tell them the truth they'll most likely feel betrayed and angry. Some might forgive you and stay your friend, but it's hard to say. The best I can suggest is that you "disappear". Give an explanation if you want, but make it believable.

    Good Luck!

    There was a documentary of a girl who did the same but with her friends. The documentary was called the girl that became 3 boys.
