Kittenfishing is sort of like catfishing, except the person isn't pretending to be another person for the purpose of not having to be themselves, but an embellishment about a detail of their life. Two examples that pop into mind are: They weren't part of the crew, they were the Captain. They weren't a flight attendant, the were a pilot. Other examples are lying about being a cheerleader or a football player or a great student or a bad student...basically kittenfishing is making yourself seem more interesting in areas that people don't generally ask proof of unless you're literally trying to fly a plane or captain a boat.
I'm curious if anyone has encountered this in the wild and how they discovered it was an embellishment or not true?
