Outright lies, half-truths, and delusions are much easier to detect and interpret in face-to-face contact. Dating apps present a profile, and there is one idea of a person. Then, you contact the operator of that account and in chat or on phone then there is a different mental image of that...

Probably. I don't follow any, though. Try this:

Because it's a compensating behaviour that requires dissonance to do and that dissonance is stressful and tiring, mentally, requires a lot of effort. It's not your dream, not what you really want to do, want to happen. I'd suspect you're doing it in response to, "scared of being hurt on...
