Today has to be the weirdest ever.....

Ive been on SW almost from the off and was on EP for a number of years previous. Ive seen, and been part of some weirdness in that time, but today for me personally is the weirdest!

After last nights post about being 'catfished' ive received so much support and good wishes from so many members, many of whom i haven't interacted with before.

But heres the problem. My trust has gone. People want to ask me questions, things id of been happy to share before, but now, it feels each person offering to listen and show me some comfort could potentially be the same person who catfished me....because that is exactly how they have they played it previously.

People have messaged me wanting me to name the members involved. People have said things like...'i know you must feel that perhaps im prying, or telling me to 'check me out, im genuine, ask (various members) to tell you im legit' but all this is doing is making me doubt more and more people are genuinely who they claim to be.

I dont like feeling this way. Feeling suspicious of people ive believed were friends. Its just odd that certain names put in the mix are people who have shared their own catfish stories with me before....and im afraid i just dont know what to think at all anymore.

Im sorry to my genuine pals that im doubt you, its a horrible feeling.

I k ow how you feel, most people k ow i have been catfished from someone here who has many accounts under many personality, this person on the contraire as you stole money from me, i fell for all of their lies years ago, and still to this day i still cant forgive the pain and anxiety and loss they gave me. I list who I was, the little of who I gained to be as a person they crashed it for me, the little trust i still had in people.. took taht away..the luttle self esteem i ahd.. vanished..ppl blame me for my own pain because i let them do it to me by believing all their lies and being so naive.. it was when i just had came out...

I got so mad and hurt whej i did some research and found out she was acutally a he and elad me on for 3 years and made me believe all the excuses to never be able to call or video and as to why the only pictures i got were the same posted at that time on EP... somehow her they dont share publiclt those pics anymore but they do share them and different ones in PM as some friends told me about it and they also go on 2 or 3 different names. As I know they have ar leats 4 accounts still on... 3 really known and onw i dont wven know the name but they told me last i heard of them they had an hidden one. The admin closed down 4 of their other alt accounts

It hurt and changes you when you put your enegie, care, love and trust in someone that just wanna use you for their own purpose which ever they have and hurt you deliberately.

Im truly sorry you have been through this.i really am, because i know the pain and lack of trust it leaves you with. I wish i could tell you you can forget and move on... but its hard, even more when you know they also do it to orhers still

@SimplyMeChantou thank you. I know you have had tough times hunni. For me, there was no romance involved, but 2 friends i believed to be 100% real. Its incresingly looking like it was the same person. I guess i'll never know the truth...but i can deal with that. I just hate feeling i need to be so much more gaurded in future x
@RubySoo i know i read your story, to be catfish in love or friendship can be as hurtful because you give your trust and invest into a relationship regardless of which kind. 🤗
