Me and my gay friend pretended to be engaged because I was dealing with so much sexual harassment at work, and then a few of my coworkers staged a whole sympathetic, gentle intervention where they told me they saw my fiancé on grindr and his display pic was him fondling a twinks nipples.

amazing

Said fake engagement lasted over a year before it happened. We put some real effort into it too. I had to act like I was grieving and concerned. A lot of the lady coworkers are horny old ladies who like to live vicariously through us younger girls and so I had already sat through several impromptu lunch interviews about our sex life like I wasn’t picking him up from his weekend chemsex parties at 2am and putting him to bed like a child.

Oh God prepare yourselves.

>be me
>12 year old horny obsessed with older guys
>have a crush on my bestfriend's older bro's friend Dave (age 16?)
>steal his number from my friend's phone
>start texting him as a 16yo Filipino girl named "Kayla" (based on my cousin and no I'm not Filipino) but also I occasionally jump in as myself
>eventually we start sexting all the time
>first lie, Kayla is "sick" with ovarian cysts (actually happened)
>start texting him as myself for a bit, fake crying on the phone because I was "scared"
>second lie, Kayla is now in the hospital so her sister "Thayla" (I fucking know) is using her phone
>"Thayla" and Dave start flirting and sexting
>start vocally talking on the phne with him as Thayla
>also start talking with him as myself
>he makes frequent comments about how we sound similar
>mention it's because we're cousins and of course family sounds the same
>him and Thayla hit it off great, he starts sending sexual voicemail about wanting to fuck her "tight filipino pussy"
>eventually get tired of playing Thayla
>send her back to "the philippines"
>now I'm just texting him as myself
>we eventually start sexting
>yeah a 16 year old is sexting a 12 year old
>brag to all my friends in middle school about this guy named Dave who waz a junior at XYZ High School.


Sorry for the poor format, I fucking hate typing in greentext. Anyways, eventually I moved to North Carolina. A year or so later, at a family reunion, my real cousin Kayla asked me who Dave was and I told her I didn't know. She told me not to use her information like that again but didn't really do anything major about it.

Also I'm pretty sure Dave knew the whole time, honestly. And my classmates from middle school ended up going to the same high school as him and I saw a few of them being mutual friends with him.

Not to mention, Dave and my friend's older brother liked to make flash videos and fucking made one about me. Making me a fighting game character, called me a whore who "fucked every guy" in the new state that I moved to, and called me a fat ass.

I found the video years later, messaged him with the link and "???" He was super apologetic and told me that the friends brother did it, not him. So I reached out and he took it down. Fucking prick.

I'm glad I can tune that shitty part of my life out most days. I only remember it when I think of the many hundreds of times I catfished idiot men.

I cat fished a guy I dated for 8 years. I also fell in love with another guy and hid him from the first guy the whole time.

> be me, 14
> meet 2 guys online, I'll call them A and B, both overseas, B in Oceania so we have opposite hours
> A is 2 years older than me, manipulative and narcissistic while B is my age and perfect all around
> cat fish A b/c he pressured me for a pic, I was fat so I used a pic of a girl who had similar features to me
> start a long distance relationship with A
> 6 months later, start talking to B a lot
> I start talking to B non stop, I ignore A to talk to B, sleep while A is awake to and talk to B
> I break up with A in an attempt to date the B
> A gaslights me the whole time while B is too nice to ask me out when I just got out of a relationship
> 6 months later, I get back with A, cut off contact with B bc I felt guilty for having feelings for him while in a relationship

> 2 years later, start messaging B a little bit
> I lost weight by now but haven't showed A, B has seen me multiple times and we become closer and start calling 12 hours a night
> A makes passive aggressive remarks to see a new picture of 'me' since he hasn't for 2 years
> A gaslights me again for not spending every waking moment of my day with him
> I cut contact with B again because I caught feelings again

> 2 years later, I ended up sending a pic to A and I buy a ticket and go see him
> I stay in A's country for a while, then he comes back to my country
> constantly thinking of B the whole time, fall asleep in A's arms pretending he's B
> B messages me out of the blue one day when I'm alone (probably the first time I've ever had alone time from A in a year)
> I promise myself to keep in contact with him
> A has 2 months left on his visa, everyday I go to the bathroom every 40 minutes to get away from A and message B
> not even flirting, just messaging but it felt like heaven
> tempted to call him every night to hear his sweet voice
> count down the days until A leaves
> A goes home, I take a 6 hour bus home, I call B once I get through the door
> avoid contact with A, my feelings rekindled for B on our first phone call
> never call A again, break up after 8 years
> tell B how I feel over the phone, make plan to meet up
> meet up with B,
> we're living together and engaged now

It's a weird dynamic. I wish I hadn't wasted so much time with someone so terrible. That being said though, I don't think the relationship would've gotten passed 6 months if he wasn't manipulative. I felt bad for cutting off contact with him after 8 years but I had no love or respect left for him. Also he tried to blackmail me after we broke up so lol. Listen to your instincts ladies

>>645115
you all sound like cows tbh

>>645121
Or just bored and stupid teenagers who don't give a fuck about men's feelings.

>>645124
No normal and bored teen does that though, not for 8 years at least. Scary shit.

>>645124
14 + 8 = 22, should've grown up by now

>>645134
>>645147
Yeah well, I wasn't the anon that did that shit for 8 years. I was saying though, plenty of bored teens catfish

I hid most of the domestic violence I suffered growing up and made up a fake bf that went to another school so I could make up a fake life to talk about to people instead of my real one. I also made up I had an Italian bf on holiday when I was 11, what happened was I saw a gorgeous Italian guy at the beach and would stare at him. I was always making up stories lol

In 7th grade I was interviewed for a student segment in the yearbook. The question they asked me was regarding the furthest destination I’d been to on vacation. For whatever reason I lied impulsively & told them I had been to Germany to see a bit of the Berlin Wall, when in actuality I had never even left the state I lived in at the time.
I freaked the fuck out because my mom would always go through every page of the yearbook when it came out & she was very weirdly abusive so I would definitely receive an extreme punishment for lying on print. So instead of telling anyone in yearbook to pull my interview, I made it way more difficult than it needed to be & snuck into the yearbook computer lab to delete all of the files saved on the computers harddrive.
It was the middle of the school year at this point so I ended up deleting a lot of content & needless to say the yearbook class was very upset. I had a friend that was a big yearbook geek who,for the remainder of the year, vented endlessly about the files being deleted & the mysterious idiot who must’ve ‘accidentally’ removed them.

I was caught snacking on my roommates cashews by my bf, which is not a big deal because we all share food but I panicked for no reason & lied that I had purchased them. I could tell by his expression that he knew I was lying so I felt nauseous & panicked, I’ve never lied to him before in the 2 years that we’ve been together so I felt stupid guilty but couldn’t work up the nerve to admit to a silly lie like that.
As soon as my bf went to work, I drove like a bat out of hell to the grocery store & bought a bag of cashews in a different brand so I could be casually munching on them when he got home.
This dumbass lie costed me $12

I lied about being half Japanese to my whole class (I was a weeb) and they bought it, I barely believed it myself.
I come from a shitty family and didn't want to tell them my dad's a deadbeat and my grandma and mom are beating me at home so I lied and said my dad was in Japan taking care of my grandparents.

They found out when I got into college, though, but I was so cringe that they didn't even care about it at this point.

Fuck this awoke the memories of me faking a German accent in elementary school, the seething cringe

I’m a pathological liar and have been caught many times. I’m trying to stop but often times, it’s difficult.



It’s one of the few sins I’m struggling with

>>656461
what do you lie about anon

When I was in primary school I lied and told I was together with this one guy. Turns out he was friends with my classmate and they both came to me to confront me about it. It was so humilating I still cringe to this day.

>>656465
Little white lies nowadays, yesterday I lied where I went and why I spent my money on hair dye for my sister. I told my mom she asked me to buy it for her when in reality I asked her if she still wanted to dye her hair and I also told her I went to HEB (Texas chain grocery store) for my own errands when I really went to Target at the mall so I could go to the Cheesecake Factory, which I haven’t told her about.

Why anon, are you paranoid?

built a lying habit from being scared of my parents I think. I don't feel any instinctual remorse to lie. it comes easily, but that kinda scares me. I'll lie on impulse but it's rarely anything that matters. mainly use it as a copout for social anxiety. Instead of freezing or saying the wrong thing, sometimes by reflex I give an answer even if it's untrue
What made me realize and regret that I do this was being in a relationship. I lied about something, just one instance among many. It wasn't major but I'll never forget how he responded. He was shocked I could lie so casually and made me promise not to again. That opened my eyes because what to me was nothing hurt someone a lot. now I am still trying to work on this vice

>>656548
No, but my mother controls my money to limit my spending habits so I don’t go overboard.

>>656461
Same. I find that I can only be honest on places like this.

>>656806
I relate to your post a lot anon, hang in there

When I was a teen, I faked going to math tutoring.

when i was in elementary school we had to do book study of whatever book we wanted, i picked ella enchanted because the movie had just came out and i didnt want to read it so i just used the movie to do all my homework assignments. my teacher caught on and told my parents and i felt so bad about lying i decided i didnt deserve a comfy bed so i slept on the floor kek
