Sweetie, I would only equate a catfish that is someone who pretends they are someone they aren't for some sort of emotional or financial gain. Using a fake name to talk about your trauma? If that helps, then great.....and sorry to hear about any trauma you have...
Oh, and welcome!

Catfish implies you're trying to manipulate people in some way. I think a lot of people here use assumed names without any nefarious intentions.

@LordShadowfire You're not?

@LeopoldBloom I mean, you could argue that I'm legally known as Shadowfire the Sarcastic, I guess.
@JonLosAngeles66 yeah - catfishing involves a fake name and fake picture as well as general lying and manipulation/ gaslighting behaviour; just being anon and / or roleplaying doesn’t qualify

Your username seems extremely familiar but I don't think we ever talked really. I've been seeing you on my feed a lot tonight & it made me wonder... you using the same username as before?
& Do we get along? Because I already almost commented on a few of your posts tonight but stopped myself because I can't remember if we knew each other

@ChiefJustWalks I’ve been on SW and EP since 2014 with the same username

@LeahLovee no wonder your name looks familiar. I showed up to EP in 2012 but wasn't active on it until 2015. Nice to see you back 👌
@ChiefJustWalks I joined around this time 2014, it’s great to be back, nice to see you too!

A catfish is someone who uses a fake persona to manipulate others. It doesn't mean you're using a screen name which 99.99% of the people on here are doing. My real name isn't "Leopold Bloom" and I don't look like Stephen Rea either.

Do you think people accept that you’re a catfish or they just don’t believe it

Hey... you doing ok?

That doesn’t make you a catfish. You deserve to be anonymous if you don’t want to share your traumas publicly with any of your real identity attached.
I am sorry for what you have been through. Welcome back 🩷.

Sweetie, that's not what a catfish is. A catfish is a guy pretending to be a girl to get guys to message him, usually for the purpose of getting money out of them. You're not a catfish. You're a person who has been hurt and is cautious.
