Woman finds out that boyfriend’s ‘online friends’ are not real, he gaslights her when confronted over pretending to be 3 different people in group chat: ‘I’m so creeped out!’

Welcome, tea-spillin sisters. Have you ever been catfished? The term refers to when people assume fake online personas with the intention of fooling other intnernet users. Some catfishers do it for attention and affection, and others do it to manipulate victims into sending them money or gifts. Internet catfishers might use fake pictures and personal details of real people to create convincing profiles in order to lure unsuspecting victims. Online dating apps are rife with these tricksters. While most instances of catfishing take a romantic angle, nefarious individuals on the web can also trick people into forming seemingly innocent friendships.

In our story today, a woman comes to find out that the people she has been in an online group chat with are not real individuals at all — they are all characters created by the same person: her boyfriend. He had created multiple fake profiles with hundreds of followers, pictures, and even fake comments, and he had played the part of no less than three personalities in a private group chat for the entirety of the relationship.

This was so meticulously orchestrated that it has to point to some sort of mental illness.

This man is a master manipulator. When the ruse was up, he started deflecting to make her feel like she was somehow in the wrong — and it almost worked!

Like the author of a horror novel, he would have to off them one by one to keep up the ruse. Or maybe he'd hire actors to play the part during special events.
