Catfished on Discord. She was supposed to be my first girlfriend, and I feel like an idiot.
I am still processing this, but I need to get it off my chest. I feel sad, mad, and honestly like an absolute idiot right now.
I’ve been talking to a girl on Discord for about a week. This was a massive deal for me because she was the first girl I have ever dated in my life. We hit it off fast, and I genuinely thought things were going somewhere real.
From the start, something felt slightly off about the pictures she sent. They just looked too perfect, almost like a model or an influencer. I tried to ignore the gut feeling, but today I finally decided to do some digging. I ran a reverse image search on her photos.
My stomach completely dropped. The photos belong to an entirely different person with a completely different life.
I haven't confronted her yet. I don't even know if she is still messaging me because I haven't looked. I am just too embarrassed. It hurts that I invested real emotion and excitement into someone who lied so effortlessly right from day one. I feel so stupid for falling for it.
Has anyone else gone through this with their first relationship? Should I bother calling her out, or do I just block her and move on? I could really use some perspective.
Update I decided to block them as well as reported the account including telling the owner of the server about them and they were banned shortly afterwards, I did not confront them about it because I realized it's not worth the energy to do it.
