I remember when I thought I was talking directly to a celebrity online… when I was 13. It didn’t take long to realize how stupid that idea was. To be a grown adult and still think there’s a chance a celebrity is sending messages to random people is mind-boggling.
I cringe at the memories now, but at least I can take comfort in having learned about catfishing long before I had money to lose from it.
