in a small way i feel sad for this person because i know what its like to be mentally ill and in a traumatic situation and try to form a new identity. i didn't pretend i was a black person but when i was a teen i convinced my friends that my family was from england and all these other really stupid lies because i was trying to escape the reality of my home
obviously my lies weren't as BAD as this person's, but they still were stupid and cost me a lot of friendships when i was a teen when it came out that i was full of shit.
