sometimes I wonder if people go on here (or any board) and write posts that are 'fake' just to see what happens. For example, would a psych. student or just an interested person write a very sad story to see what kind of positive response it garners?
WOULD someone create a totally different identity just to try it out for fun? People lie all the time in chat rooms, about their looks / profession / age / etc. Why not here on a psych. board?
I don't suspect anyone in particular. I don't really suspect anyone at all! I'm not trying to make trouble. I just wonder sometimes.
