Trust no one, especially someone from the Internet.
Trusting someone in your everyday life is hard enough. You never know what their true intentions are. You don't know if they're actually there to help you grow or if they're just waiting for you to someday fail or even if they're just taking advantage of you. You should always keep your guard up. Never let it fall and always be cautious of who you tell things that actually matter to you. Never ever let your guard down and think of people are acquaintances rather than friends. Be careful with who you call a friend and who you keep close. Especially if its over the internet. You'll end up like Nev from the move Catfish we watched. That is a perfect example of why you cant trust people. Of course not everyone is like that, but trusting someone over the internet? Come on. I can't trust some of the people I grew up with, let alone trust someone I've only seen over the internet. Maybe cause it was a child, Nev let his kindness get the best of him but at the end of the day, he should of been more careful with the whole idea of liking Megan. He should have thought about it a little more and not let that get the best of him. We all know that some of the things people put on the internet do not define who they are in real life. So we need to stop believing everything that is told to us rather than proven to us. Yes its hard to always walk around with your guard up. But I would much rather have my guard up and be smart than be led into the dark by someone and them just leave me there. Nev had no idea what was going on. Which honestly, Nev took it really well. I would have been extremely angry and upset. Especially at the fact that Angela wanted Nev to have sympathy for her. Even after she she told a huge lie and some how was able to fabricate a whole story to go along with it about having a daughter who could paint well, and about Megan, and so much more. In the end, what happened, happened. There is nothing you can do. Moral of the story is, just don't trust people. Give it time. See who is worthy of your trust and who is not. But, never let your guard down.

I find it very interesting that the blame is being placed on Nev because I have not heard this opinion before. The idea that people should be very cautious of who they put their trust in I agree with, however I disagree about who is at fault for this particular situation. Angela covered every detail she could think of to make Megan's life seem real. Even going as far to use multiple phones and upload a video of Abbey doing art on Youtube. At what point do you think Nev should have begin playing detective and do you believe people should assume everyone who talks to them on the internet is a liar?
I agree with the above comment! It is interesting that you are blaming Nev for this whole situation! I do agree that there are some things that should have been keep private since he did not know exactly who he was talking to like the whole sexual conversations should have happened after he confirmed that she was who she said she was. However, Angela is a lot to blame for this situation; she created a WHOLE fake family on Facebook to keep up the whole charade which is going completely too far. It's one thing to impersonate one person but to impersonate about 10 different people... seems a little troubling.
I actually feel Nev does share blame in this we are taught many things in life that tell us do not jump at everyone's sincerity IE, " all that glitters isn't gold" Nev simply fell hard into a trap because he let his guard all the way down something we hardly do in person so we never should online.
I believe we trust people but not expect too much out o them. People should trust themselves and not catfish in order to escape reality. Instead of creating a new life online you should do it in real life. Trust is a keyword to all success. A people must be able to trust one another.
