People who have been scammed tend to double down on the scam even after they're made aware they've been scammed. Ask yourself, "why is it so difficult for me to acknowledge that I believed a falsehood. I was wrong. But I can learn from this and do better next time."
Isn't that healthier for everyone than doubling down trying to convince yourself that you couldn't possibly have been led astray by an obvious internet scam?
Feels like another goalpost shifting.
