Don't you hate fake people?

I am seeing a lot of fake people claiming to be a person who isn't them. Don't you hate these people? It's so hard to find people that are real and fake... if you find a fake person make sure to let me know I will try to find out if they are fake or not. I've dealt with several people like this before... and some people start to go to far and than they are obviously fake. You know?

Yes. Mannequins are stiff and unfriendly. You can chat with them, but they just ignore you. And those robots!!!! Upstarts!! They all think they are so special because they never get fat or wrinkles. Snobs. Every one of them.

I'm not sure about cyborgs. Are they totally fake people? Or are they just semifake? Well I think I will leave them out of this because they are at least somewhat real.

@Haileygamer099: oh!!! The pretenders. Nah, I don't hate them. I feel somewhat sorry for them. Their lives must be so uninteresting. If it's necessary to pretend to be someone or something you aren't, it's a sad life, indeed.


On the other hand. Actors are forever playing roles. It's a way of life with them.

Why do you feel it is your right to say that people can't live their fantasies here, if that's what they are here for?

@Serenitree: I don't know about that. Isn't the goal of Similar Worlds (like Experience Project before it) to share [i]real life[/i] experiences, to build empathy and sense of community with others that have similar experiences?

Say for instance someone makes an account and posts all about their lengthy battle with cancer, gets all the compassion from users that have had cancer or friends/family with cancer, and maybe even takes donations from other users to help pay their massive medical bills. Then about a year into posting their treatment stories it's revealed the user was never sick, that the entire series of posts was a massive lie and manipulation, and the community fell for it. I could see that kind of thing being a legal liability for Similar Worlds, and it would certainly violate the Terms of Service.

The user Hailey was talking about luckily never asked for money, but he did fabricate a couple of serious stories that garnered sympathy from pet owners over his fictional dead pet, and that was rather manipulative and histrionic, to say the least. I, too, feel compassion for the guy and can easily forgive him especially if he makes amends to any others in the group that his manipulative fiction hurt.

@Tybron: as I mentioned earlier, I blocked him a while back, because he annoyed me.

The truth is, I don't know who here is telling the absolute truth and who might be telling a "what if?" story.

I do know this. There are a whole lot of people on here who lie. When anyone asks a question about lying.....there are plenty who say they have never told a lie in their lives. I don't know what they call lies, but to me, smiling and responding "fine thanks" is a lie if you are not really fine. Everybody lies. It's just a question of what they lie about, and how their lies affect others.

I once posted a hypothetical story as a response to someone. I didn't realize that she wouldn't know it was hypothetical. She was very upset and angry because it touched her deeply. So now, I make a point of saying when something is "for example" or if it is a true story.

But people do make up stories. It's kind of sad, when they feel compelled to make up a fictional life, but it's a personal problem. I just would never send money to someone for anything.

I hide my face with a tag because I don't want the people in my community to know my thoughts and what goes on in my head. I express private thoughts here where I wouldn't be able to do to the stone cold faces in my reality.

@LostInTheDesert: I like that and the way you choose to flow your words.

My reasons a bit different than most.
[c=#BF0080]Hey now.. don't be stealing my job. 😒[/c]
@Pinkrainbowkisses: yep. This guy claims this picture is his "pet" but it's just a pic on google... and he says it was a wild pet and he domesticated it... ridiculous!
Why does is auto correct to isn't? That is so annoying...
@Pinkrainbowkisses: not to mention he says there was a whole court about it... that doesn't make sense either

How do you hate people you don't even know?
@NigelDoes: well some people it's kinda obvious that they are fake and it's annoying that they are making it up, I can message you the most recent imposter if you want...
NigelDoes · 56-60, M
I understand what you're saying. Unfortunately, it is the way of the internet.
@NigelDoes: no doubt

Regardless of whether a person is who they claim to be, they're still a person, so I still want to talk to them.
I don't recognize your username.
@Serenitree: well he was lying about almost everything he just doesn't chase skunks because no skunks love there... but he still wants to so I guess that kinda explains why he did it... but still he shouldn't lie like that...
Serenitree · F
@Haileygamer099: no need to explain yourself to me. You have your reasons for doing what you do, just as he has his reasons for doing what he does.

If I bleed when poked with a needle, is it safe to say I'm real.
What do you consider fake? An imposter?
I'm talking about the people who lie and say they are somebody even though that isn't even what they do and make up everything. I think I found a fake person but I know people who are real and do what he does...
LostInTheDesert · 31-35, F
I understand!
