Why COVID Catfishing Is On The Rise
Low self-esteem of the catfish
It’s very common that catfish do what they do because of low self-esteem. When they catfish, they get to experience how people may treat them if they looked different, and had a totally different life. If that low self-esteem was already there, it could be further aggravated by the isolation and potential job loss the coronavirus has brought, and so more catfishing may occur.
