I WAS a catfish [Warning: a lot to read!]

So this happened way back like 2011, 2022. I had just moved to a different state. Back then, IMVU was a popular site and everyone had one. I decided to make an account but instead of putting pictures of me and putting my real age I used someone else’s. I don’t know why I did this.. I didn’t see myself as ugly but at that time I really liked the attention that I was able to get with my fake profile. Fast forward I met this guy named Justin who was a state away where I used to live. Im pretty sure he was “22-23” years old at the time. We literally hit it off from day one and on that same day, we talked for hours on the phone. We literally were in a relationship for a year (almost 2). This is when karma hit me..

So, one day idk how but I decided to look him up on Twitter and long and behold he had one. For the duration of this “relationship” we never really got into the topic of FaceTime or adding each other. We were content with how everything is. So when I got on his Twitter, I saw what he would say, which was a lot but what he posted online wasn’t matching up with how he was with me. Everyday I would check it. There was one day that he posted about bring single so of course I confronted him about it. Then Justin would be posting different stuff that didn’t seem to match up do like any typical girl, I turned to a CIA agent and started investigating.

Long story short, I found out he was a catfish too and he didn’t admit it until several months later with some long ass paragraph. After that paragraph, I contacted catfish but since they were unable to get ahold of him, we couldn’t go further. He still doesn’t know that I wasn’t real either or at least I’ve never actually told him...
