Whew. Okay. This is really, really weird. This is the first time I've ever done an episode without someone sitting in a chair next to me. It feels a little goofy, but that is episode 200. I have no guests today. It is just me and you guys. If you're on our Patreon, you already know, but episode 200 is really about getting the takes from you guys.
The amount of people I meet at live shows that tell me they pause the story after I'm done reading and then give their takes or talk to their friend or their partner. It gave me the idea of starting to do fan cam reactions. You guys are really the whole reason this show exists, truly.
I am not going to cry off the jump, but I am just so grateful for each and every one of you listening and watching and sharing this show. And I really wanted to highlight your takes, really hear you guys this episode, because there wouldn't have been more than five, for sure, 10 episodes if you guys didn't start chiming in. This community has turned into something so, so special.
Thank you.
Okay, how crazy do we want to get off the jump? One to 10. We thinking a seven or a 10? Okay, okay, I hear you. Let's get into this first one. So this one is coming from r slash am I overreacting? It is titled, am I overreacting after I found out my boyfriend's online friend group I became a part of two years ago has been just him the whole time?
I guess I should have been less obvious, but since a little before we started dating in 2022, I was added to my boyfriend's, just friend at the time, three-person Instagram group chat with what he explained were some of his closest online friends.
The two other accounts seemed like real people because they had real followers and comments on their posts and drastically different aesthetics slash looks to them. We eventually made a Discord server for us, and that alone was convincing enough, since multiple times we'd all be active at the same time. We never voice chatted, but I used to never voice chat either, so I didn't think twice.
The group got closer, though, as more and more time passed since I was first added to their group chat. And last month, we got together and planned a research trip to Hawaii for August. We live on the East Coast of the US. Like, we booked everything.
So imagine my surprise when I'm over at his house tonight and his computer is open and I just want to log into my Google Docs when I accidentally stumble across, first of all, follower bot sites and also him logged in and chatting with me as one of the individuals I thought I'd become close with. And I just got this sinking feeling. I didn't jump to the idea that they could be fake.
