Are you amazed at how easy it is to inadvertently create an online persona that does represent you in real life?

Nimbus · M
Yes.
I am really Johnny Depp but not many know.

A bit.
I like to think who I am online reflects who I am as a person though. :)

Well in my mind I am this crazy smart-ass red-head chick...oh, yeah I am that in real life, too...
Peaches · F
Yes...and how many create extra accounts to harass other members.

I've never tried to do it.

@BellaLocura: Maybe add "inadvertently" before "create"?

@LachrymoseLamer: edited! Thank you for the suggestion!

I don't think I act like who I really am in real life?
Thegreateast · 31-35, M
I'm sry I'm talking to myself in it comment thread... I still dont know the answer myself..

@Thegreateast: I'm just saying that people tend to build an idea of who a person is based on their posts, which oftentimes does not remotely represent that person in real life.
Thegreateast · 31-35, M
@BellaLocura: and I'm just saying sometimes we all act like how we think we should be irl, the same way... Maybe..idk..

I so take it is part of me. if it wasn't then none of it would exist. just seeing a new or different angle of one self.

No, I don't know how to fake, I'm real here the same as in rl
BellaLocura · 51-55, F
What I'm getting at is that you can jokingly post things that people will automatically attribute to you. Thus creating an idea in their head that may not be truly representative of you.

@BellaLocura: yeah well I see a lot of that... Ppl know me so much I post general questions and the pm me asking me if I'm OK....I don't know how those joking about being with one and the other and claiming being overly sexual or stuff that or flirting at large do

for me it isn't... I don't like lying, it hurts where it feels.
BellaLocura · 51-55, F
I'm not talking about lying. I'm talking about the fact that people attach attributes to you in reaction to whatever you post. These attributes may not remotely represent you in real life.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@BellaLocura: oh you mean how other people build you up..? Well yeah, in my mind you're a girl with big leather boots and a pixie-cut.. 😅
