Okay, so this question was brief and kind of unspecific. I think I might have a lying problem, but I’m just not sure. I’m not pleased with myself, so I seek ways to become other people in the only way I can: online. I’m very good at conning other people online. Now, this may not seem like such a talent and I suppose it’s quite easy to do, but to be able to convince someone I’m a “20-year old male” from anywhere on earth for up to 6 months at a time I must be doing something right. Of course I’m not though, in fact I’m a 16-year-old girl who lives in Texas. But to be able to convince people that I’m someone else is a thrill. To have them to the point where they claim they’re “in love” with me. Now I’m smart enough to know that people say things they don’t mean, much like me, but these people, these girls, mean what they say. And are who they say they are. I avoid speaking about phone numbers, or web cams until they mention it themselves, and when they do I make up an excuse and avoid it again, until they mention it yet again. At this time, when it gets too much to avoid, I simply erase them from my minds and my contact list. And I start over. Now I have no doubt you all will find this strange, but my question is: does this mean I have a lying problem? I’ve been told that people do this kind of stuff all the time, just to experiment. But, I actually absorb myself into the person, so much that for that moment I am that person. Maybe it’s acting. I just don’t know. What do you think?
