I’m tired of catfishes messaging me on here and Instagram. I admit to falling for it a few times because I always worry that what if the profile messaging me is a real person wanting to get to know me and start a relationship with me. I am especially vulnerable to catfishes because of my naivety but thankfully now I am now better able to recognize the signs of their requests for me to send selfies of myself to them when I just started texting them, them asking me if I am busy when I just stopped texting them for a minute, the unusually fast pace they are moving in the “relationship”, and the fact that I cannot find them by name on Google.
If I suspect them I either ignore if there profile looks fishy, or I reply back something like “long time no see! Are you still living in (choose a state or city) - if they respond back you’ll know they’re fake.
