Why does it bother certain users so much that some of us set up several profiles?

It's not uncommon across many social media.

If you're up front about it then I don't see a problem with it. With some people it comes across as insincere and fake or even attention seeking.
And if catfishing well☺ it's all gonna catch up eventually.

But some people are just too awesome for one profile. Haha

Because it makes you fake and a liar.
People think they're talking to you and in fact they're talking to a character.
One of many.
That's the opposite of being social, its being deliberately evasive.
There are plenty of fantasy sites out there.
No need to turn this site into one.

@Picklebobble2: It's always me in my pics and usually I tell the truth. I just change accounts from time to time because I am still finding myself.

@InternetExplorer: Which is good news for you but not for folk who are on your friends list who already think you're the person you've shown to them.

I don't know maybe it's a reflection of my mental health that I do this. I don't feel I have a fixed identity.
It's a bit fake to some people. You're never really too sure about who you're talking to

What are your other usernames? I have seen several others on here do the same thing. It is easy to spot someone if you have known them for months or years.

@TearDropsOfLove: I've had hundreds, to name them all would be pointless. xXStephenXx, Hermit, PsychoSmiley, Drkingschultz etc.

@InternetExplorer: It sounds like you are keeping the site running with all those accounts. So it looks like there are only around 20 or so individuals on this whole site.

They think it means you're up to no good, even when you're upfront about it.

I guess because it seems sneaky

@Magnolia: I always use my pics on each different profile and people know it's me. It's just my different personas

Oh then I can't see why that's an issue
