Is it normal there are so many fake people on iin?

They're horrible liars too, most of them anyway. They make up a fake story about their life but then in another question, I see a COMPLETELY different story that doesn't fit with their other stories.

I.E: "Yeah, my son likes baseball."
And then in another topic, "I hate kids, glad I don't have any."

Like what? Are you insane or what? If you're gonna fake an account/entire life story, why not stick with the same one? IIN?

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    • IT'S YOU! YOU'RE THE ONE WITH THE SON!

      I kid. I don't have the links and I'm not about to go searching. It just happens every few days. I'll see someone get their story wrong, often.

  • I once got called out on it because I would post stories of questions that friends had asked me (friends who don't know about IIN) and I'd be curious myself to see the answers. In other posts, I would tell different stories about my Mom because I refer to my Aunt and my biological Mother as "Mom"

    So... who knows? They may have a good explanation for their discrepancies. That's why I hide my stories now, though. It got annoying to have to explain myself to every single fucking user who had something against me.

  • Yea I sometimes switch names genders and people in stuff around because I want to remain anonymous and if friends and family saw what I was saying they could probably tell it was me. (:

  • Sometimes I perch in fake plastic trees. It's easy to clean the poops off the leaves.

  • It just helps me polish my lying skills... y'know... what if there comes a rainy day where I need to fake a story or verbally bullshit to save a life? My own or someone elses? You're just sitting there judging people calling them insane, while the truth is some of us are slaving away trying to save lives. We are heroes!

  • I've seen someone make a post and then reply to it as a different person unaware that they forgot to turn the "anonymous" off.

  • Someone here tried to start crap with me a few months back due to my earlier comments being different. I explained to them that I used to let other people that were too lazy to make an account here use my account to post comments. I would go back and delete those comments, but reading through each question to do so would be time consuming and boring.

  • Yeah I understand where you're coming from. Honestly, I want people to get an idea of who I am when I use this website, because the whole point is to share out all of your secrets under the same mask of anonominity. I feel comfortable enough behind my mask that I don't mind if people start to associate a personality with it.

  • One of the many reasons for Alt characters is to cause less confusion for readers while you explore social reactions of things you would otherwise be afraid to say.
