I'm thinking of manipulating people on the internet with fake personas.
Why is this something that you wish to do?
I like the amount of online attention I get. I feel good about myself.
Why would you want to mess with other people's lives and live as a fake persona. This could seriously damage other people and cause them to have trust issues.
I don't think it would be that big of a deal.
You said yourself that you are doing this to manipulate people and that is already a problem. But depending on how far it goes you could really damage people emotionally or even potentially financially. You should really just be yourself.
