    I pretended to be someone else online, I posted pictures of other people and profiles and made friends this way. They believed for what’s the fake persona I created. It got too deep and the lies became bigger. The friends I made (girls and guys) I had such a huge connection with. Some even said they had feelings for me, the attention felt good at first but I would shut it down.. then the next person would confess feelings. Until one day I caught feelings myself for someone. And I let it drag on for 2-3 years. I would always end it but it would just start back up. Finally the truth came out and I was confronted, I absolutely broke hearts. Not only was it a haram relationship (online), but it was all based on lies. I asked for their forgiveness but of course I couldn’t be completely honest with everyone, I was trying to protect myself. There is one friend I had a very deep connection with that I still didn’t ask for forgiveness from, I don’t even think they know about the fact I am not who I said I am.. and I am dreading it. Can I just leave it as it is and ask Allah to forgive me

    If social media is causing you this heartache, then just let go. It is far better for your well being if you just make friends in real life, so that you can see them face to face, and laugh with them, and experience things with them. But relationships with guys are haram, and Allah aza wa jal put that rule because he cares for his creation, and does not want their hearts to be broken and for a path to be created towards evil things, including zina. It says in the Qur'an "do not approach zina, for indeed it is evil as a path that lead to other evils" It doesn't just say don't committ zina. As for the girls, remember that keeping the sin between you and Allah is best, if you can. Shut down your accounts if you have to. But most of all, remember Allah forgives ALL sins, even the major, as long as you turn to Him with sincerity, unless you die upon shirk, which is not the case here.

    You have to seek forgiveness for that person you harmed. It has to be sincere. You did this sin and you have to own up to it. Otherwise we all can harm others and repent to Allah. How is that fair and just? Think of all those people. They deserve an apology.
