What is Fake?
Social networks in this last millennium have revolutionized the world, their way of thinking and living, making it easier for us to interact and meet people from different countries, cultures and languages; it has become a fundamental part of our life in a transcendental way.
While it is known that the goal of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others is to share a piece of our day to day with those who follow us and with whom we are connected, it is also true that many of these people also seek to hide, create a new image, believe and live life to your liking with the image of someone else.
This is how Fakes or false profiles on the Internet are. A broad and vast society where there are no "confusions" because everyone knows that they are false profiles and live the virtual life as they see fit.
Is it true that Fake is dangerous?
— Although everyone knows that it is a virtual world where nothing is real, the truth is that like everything else, it has its dangerous part and in it even more. And the fact that they are used to seeing and socializing with false profiles makes them much more vulnerable to a real attack by one person posing as another to face each other.
And that is because they are generally very naive, they agree to meet someone they have never seen and believe they know them through a screen and that, in addition, it is a false profile! It is something incredible for someone who does not know it. He has lived and certainly stupid too.

— However, that someone accepts with total consent to face this type of situation without fear is because he feels in the desperation to escape something that does not make him happy.
What causes this new generation to enter this world?
— The great majority of the people who come to stop in this new world oscillate between the ages of 13 to 17 years, who come to stop until they are 25 years old because they have never managed to get out of there.
The most frequent reason and the one that applies to everyone is the one that "tries" to escape from the reality of his life, family problems, sentimental, self-esteem, bullying and other factors that make him want to escape because he simply is not able to face them. People who disguise this motive for "curiosity to enter" when only what they do is deceive themselves hiding reality.
Are there consequences for the Fakes?
Beyond the obvious consequences that this entails, such as putting your physical integrity at risk by accessing personal encounters with people you do not know or who let someone you knew to be "false" into your life are just some of the consequences.
— However, the real consequences that mark someone's life are personal ones. Entering and living in this virtual world changes you greatly, you withdraw absolutely from the world, you become asocial, paranoid, you live in a continuous depression that nobody treats or helps, you lost as a person, you stop living in the world real and the "real" becomes virtual reality, you change personality by getting into the character you play, you become unfriendly as well.
It makes you the most miserable person because your "real world" which you entered to forget problems, also makes you fall into depression, you wrap yourself too much in it and the things lived there feel real.
The most important thing, it takes away your identity.
It is not healthy at all to live like this, and those who achieve and have the willpower to leave are those who see the world totally different and are usually even happier than anyone else.
How could I help someone who is in Fake?
— It can be something stupid, but to treat this world as something real in order to "rescue" someone submerged there is the best option. Treating it to the contrary would result in the person wanting to retract even more and not letting himself be helped in any way.
Making people feel better, with positive but realistic comments helps to take a good step forward, because nobody needs to live a fantasy when solving real-life problems can be just as happy and even more than on the Internet.
Do not over demand to get out of that hole fast, many believe that this is a slow and slow process. However, if you know how to deal with it, it is much easier and faster than you could imagine. It's all about becoming him or her without the pessimistic part.
