Rogerdat grin you can say it's cheap and pressure to fit in. I think it's therapeutic in some sense.

I just finished reading a book. About social media and its impact on people's revelance and self worth. People crave that validation even if it's just momentary and from strangers.

Look at twitters, Instergram , Facebook etc I follow someone that literally update her weight loss everyday. That's a lot of pressure.

Because it was a faceless forum... and they use different names. You can't track them down except they tell you where they are...

You can always dictate it if they contradict themselves.

Avant garde. What you can say in the midst of friends you can equally post. If horrible news made frontpage, why deny a tale of someone's progress equal limelight? I don't think a man can lie that bad thing is happening to him? Please flaunt the good thing happening to you to inspire others, savour the moment to the fullest, haters will call it complex, mockers will wait for your tears to believe your agonies, but your joy belongs to U, no matter how small its significance is downplayed. Some have joy but are not glad. Rule your world.

Truth be told no one owes anyone any explanation. Nairaland is a faceless forum and everyone can act like someone else. No one owes the other a true story about their life.

You have said it all. Meanwhile I also follow a lady who updates on her weight loss and every food she eats. If u see the way she decorates the food. I was admiring her before, then I began to see the bigger picture and I feel that something is totally off. The worst part is she doesn't look different. Still as big as when she started bombarding ig and fb about her weight loss over 2 months ago.

Likewise why do people insist on sharing fake life stories which nobody asked them?

There IS a fiction section if you must write by all means ?


OR you could add a disclaimer to your unsolicited tales?


The truth about all these things is very disturbing.

but don't you think it a bit high school like to give yourself a headache over what someone else portrays online? The person doesn't pay your bills and you don't pay their bills, so why make their life or rather fake life your responsibility?

Key words here are unsolicited information.

Like I said, the implications are not good.
Re: Why Do Nairalanders Lie So Much? by 5minsmadness: 1:08pm On Jun 03, 2015
Because it is an anonymous site!

This is their chance to be whatever they want to be, do whatever they want to do, live the kind of life they wish they had.

Hence u have a health assistant claiming to be a doctor

A single frustrated lady claiming to be happily married

Another single frustrated lady claiming to be independent and not in need of a man

A kid claiming to be an adult

A lonely bookworm claiming to be a ladies man

A suffering married woman pretending she married the love of her life!

A truck pusher claiming to be a millionaire!

This is thier dreamworld, let them enjoy it as much as they can grin
