I lied to an online friend about my cultural background, name and birth gender. I feel terrible and I think it's time to apologise.
I always had a thing for lying online because I was immature to think that online relationships were just talking and temporarily connecting with people. I was wrong, in fact these people actually feel things the way I do.
This dirty habit got to me when I met my online friend. Started lying about my name, background, age, and not to mention it was super awkward when I confessed that my age was something I lied about. I'm afraid of making that awkwardness again because I'm thinking of actually coming clean to them and telling them my real details since they told me theirs too.
I believe this habit originated from people pleasing and hoping that the other person would like me for who I naturally was instead of me just trying hard, but in reality I was trying hard to be liked just by personal details. I regret everything and I wish I could turn back time, but now I want to fix things until it's too late. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix my friendship?
