Hi ! its ShivPrasad Mohite , today talking about FAKE LIFE ON INTERNET
I always loved chatting,always loved to meet new people from different backgrounds and different countries. But never thought about its darker side. It feels awesome to know people from different areas ,and about them and their diversity.
It really makes you connected to the whole world. and you sometimes even feel like a star that so many people know you and we keep on adding and adding on without even knowing whom we are adding.
In our big friends circle we get some very good friends who we think are lucky for us to have them and we really get so close to them that we get connected to them even at emotional level.We start giving priorities to them. We really add them in our life. But i think thats theworst think we do.
I made many friends on internet and some of them were really so selective and i found them unique. They were really my cup of tea. I remember i used to chat with them everyday and soon phone numbers exchanged and i really wished to meet every of them who i liked. Some were away from pune so it was hard for them to come but some were in pune itself. I was feeling lucky.
But i didnt know the real boom behind all this internet game. My biggest mistake was that i was emotinally connected to them. I trusted them like anything because they were so so good to me.If anyone commnicates with you in polite manner and give you the respect which you seek for then i really wish whom so ever would be at my place would feel great in having them.
I even met many of the friends at hotels and at clubs whom i was introduced on internet. When any person comes in contact with you in real then anyone at my place would probably trust the person. I am a very emotional and sentimental guy ,i never learnt the tactics of being arty or plastic.
I even dont know how to show off or make anyone jealous. I am an open book to everyone. So i was to them as well. I remember some of my friends on internet became so close to me that i really not liked but loved there company.
I really disclosed everything to them . About my life ,my likings , my darker side , my weakness , i guess everything and it really felt so calm inside to get a good friend who know you better than anyone and to whom you can say what you feel and can be a free bird in his/her world.
we all know that we cant share everything with parents , are friends are the only one we think of first . As they too have thoughts and secrets like us.
Once i was browsing the internet and found one of my friends profile on some other site with different name and different information about him. I was shocked. I didnt knew what was happening..i guess he was really not a human.
He knew that he is continuously lying to me everytime and he didnt even thought for a while that the person he is lying to is so blindly trusting him like anything. It was really immature for him too that. I felt like a fool. Yes i was a fool. Then suddenly he told me on phone about his identity but it was too late for him to reply.
But the issue is not about him its about why people do that??
Why people fake there identity?
There may be many reasons.
Privacy: really if they want privacy then why making account on internet...??
Or may be they dont trust the person they are talking to:
compeletly justified. We cant trust anyone on internet ust like that. And we even dont know whom we are talking to ...so i think its right but when u are communicating with a person who you know personally now..so in that case one should atleast reveal true identrity..
or the last reason may be wrong intentions. There are people on internet who do these jobs to make easy money and to blackmail people. They first make you your friend and then try to build up trust and then boom they show there true colours by doing any bad thing with your image or by hacking your account. I think thats a ridiculous way of making money. These are greedy people who dont have self respect and they choose these cheap jobs to humilate people.
there are people on internet with wrong intentions but that dosent mean that we have to think everybody as same..
So the bottom line is internet was never safe . so I got a lesson of not trusting anyone on net . So you must also protect urself from being fooled by those cheap jerks who think they are smart ......
Yes I agree with you shivprasad.
