I’ve become “addicted” to catfishing. No, not going out fishing for cats, but pretending to be someone I’m not on the internet. I’ll often go online, mainly on Tumblr, and use pictures of people I know that are REALLY attractive, and then I become friends with them. I think I do it mainly because it makes me feel good about myself, and it allows me to be the person I want to be. I kind of wish that I were a guy, and when I catfish, I can be. I can be rich, I can say I’ve graduated at Harvard, I can say that I’m NOT an only child… the possibilities are endless. Plus, I fear that if I use my real picture, no one will want to be my friend. I’m ashamed of what I do, but I know I can’t stop it.
