That child grew up knowing his origins and only allowed minimal contact with his family. He still isn’t invited to family events and has a family of his own.
When my great uncle passed away, I was told he was among the random people that came to the cemetery to pay respects. None of my cousins, including myself, know what he looks like, but my dad and his siblings and cousins all do.

It’s sad how he’s punished for something that isn’t his fault. © SpaceWhale89 / Reddit

Story 12

My older sister had this group of online friends that always commented on her social media posts. They seemed like a solid group, even though she couldn’t seem to make friends in real life.

In fact, before this, I would have thought she was an introvert, but now her friends seemed to have her back, at least online.

Enough for her to get fairly popular in our small town and become an influencer.

Slowly, she became one of the most popular girls in school as well. Imagine my shock when I discovered that all her friends were, in fact, HER.

She had made multiple fake identities online and cleverly manipulated it all to her benefit. I used to find her weird before, but now I think she’s a genius.
