The catfish wants a mental escape
Catfishing is a form of escapism. The catfish gets to create this identity and entire life online—maybe as a catfish they have a five-bedroom lakefront villa with a pool—and if they do a good enough job convincing the other person, they almost start to convince themselves that that is their life. And with life being quite difficult for many right now, a lot of people are looking for an escape.
