..yeah, this for me as well with Catfish, the show...I think it's too 'surface' and obvious to say it's insecurities and unhappiness because there are probably many reasons for people to do it...with some on Catfish, it's just simply to 'project negative' in a way that they can't do in real life but it's so easy and 'unaccountable' to do on the internet...and then with others, just a lot of sadness really an maybe a 'fantasy' of what they would like their lives to be..?...I recall one really emotional story...the young girl had sent pics or posted pics...she was incredibly beautiful ..anyways the 'story' was, that it was in fact her in the pics but it was her of a few years ago and she'd had an awful car accident which had changed her life and also changed her physical appearance as she'd been more or less house-bound for several years...put on weight etc and had lost an eye..she didn't go anywhere, partly because of the changes in her physical appearance which she felt self conscious about and also obviously because she's lost all confidence...she'd also had a boyfriend at the time of the accident and they didn't stay together...anyways, I guess who she was on the internet was truthful really..it was her, it was just the her that she wished with all of her heart she could go back to..../really, really sad....
