How to deal with someone catfishing you
So obviously, that is a hard experience to go through, as myself have went through it multiple times. At first, you're thinking oh god i can't trust this person anymore blah blah blah. But 9/10 times (i hope you don't get catfished that many times) what they said to you, when they helped you or anything else is genuine. Take a few steps back, build up your walls a little bit and move on. If you think they honestly deserve a second chance, then give them one. Get to know that person, find out what they lied to you about whether it was just how they looked or their name or both. If you think this person is capable of being trusted again, then allow them to be in your lives. If you think they're just gonna cause you pain again, then you need to get rid of that person. Second chances can be a good or a bad thing, be the judge of that.
If you are catfishing, then please please grow these balls you'e probably been pretending to have and tell all your friends, apologize, explain everything, don't get mad at them. If they don't want you in your life again then leave them be. Just come out and be yourself, I'm sure everyone would love you the same if you had. They may be hurt, but you could possibly become closer to that person. Don't fall back into these steps of catfishing. Get yourself into some extra activities, hang out with friends or family, do something other than lie.
