Was this a stroke? Was I saying something completely different from what I thought was coming out of my mouth? I couldn’t tell which one of us was acting deranged. This guy seemed so convinced about who I was that I was starting to doubt myself. Had I signed up for some weird dating site in a moment of desperate weakness? Had someone stolen my identity online? Some… niche actor guy who got hired to go to parties as the most depressing person in the room to make everyone else feel better about themselves?
