Caatfishing

Catfishing is not as good or as bad as you may think. Catfishing can be taken too far. Catfishing can go from putting a fake name or picture on social media to taking someone else's identity online. Catfishing is just as dangerous and similar as online dating. People get to know each other, or, at least, who they've pretended to be. These situations, typically leave people hurt or sad in many different ways. Catfishing is not any good to anyone, there are some who say that catfish are necessities and liven things up. The background of catfishing supports that and may have some truth to it, but, overall, catfishing is a negative thing.

Catfishing, at its best, includes hiding names and faces. People form relationships with people on the internet without knowing whether these people are who the are. Some people may say that these kinds of relationships are necessities because they allow you to escape reality. Online, people get to be whoever they want. They get to say whatever they want. They get to be people who exist or people who don't exist.

On the other hand, catfishing, at its worst, includes stealing identities. People who choose to catfish or be catfish in this way are mentally different than others people who catfish in less serious ways. These types of catfish tend to stalk others, whether online or in actual life. This form of catfishing can lead to serious physical and emotional hurt.

Some people say that catfishing is good and very important for life. Catfiching comes from a story about the purpose of catfish. The story says that when certain fish are retrieved from a lake or wherever they've come from, their skin starts to do things that it shouldn't for the fish to taste like they should. Catfish stop that from happening. Catfish liven things. They make things good and moist. The guy explaining the story said that people need catfish in the world. From this point of view, I can understand what he means about people brightening other people's lives and taking them from where they don't want to be, but all in all, catfishing is bad and not as good and lively as some people make it seem.

Catfishing has its positive and negative aspects. Catfishing deceives people and creates a fairytale life. For some, catfishing inspires people to fulfill their dreams and aspirations. For some, it can be dangerous and saddening. There are people who talk with someone for months without knowing who they're truly talking to. In the end, catfishing will always bring some sort of pain, whether it's wanting to be something you're not or being hurt emotionally or physically by someone you thought you knew. There should and will be a stop to catfishing.

I agree with you that people can take things to far and cause pain not only for the person they are catfishing but that person's family and friends as well. From being catfished, people could mistrust other potential relationships they could have in the future.

I agree that Catfsihing has positive and negative aspects. However, a lie is still a lie even if it has good reasoning. Therefore, your conclusion that it is a negative thing is one that I can agree with.
