I feel the same but at the same time I'm constantly struggling with a desire to reach the point when people actually couldn't blackmail me because I'd be true to myself and honest about it.
@CrazyMusicLover Try using a VPN on your system.

@DudeistPriest What VPN has to do with what I said?
@CrazyMusicLover A VPN hides the ability of others to discover where you actually live. Thus nothing to blackmail in the real world.

@DudeistPriest Yes, but that's not what I meant. I meant that I wouldn't need to hide who I am because there wouldn't be a way to blackmail me both online and in real life. Most people hide things about themselves in fear that they wouldn't get a job or their family members would turn their backs on them. But some people reach the point when they decide to stop making a fuss about their secrets, they come forward and say "this is who I am" take it or leave it. And this world is funny enough that most people will get away with it because there's always a group of people who admire self-confidence above all.
After I had my "this is who I am" take it or leave it moment I noticed others also admired it when they actually came out and said it. I enjoy living in my skin, it's my own body after all. They had their chance in life and it's not fair to restrict, or try to live their life through, mine like a do-over. It's my life and I'm going to live it.

Yeah, a lot of people really do like that shit because they tend to live a Walter Mitty kinda life of powerlessness and you no longer do. A good role model I would say. More power to you.
