The Real You

i can be real on Facebook. that is why im selective in approving friends. i only add or confirm people whom i know well. of course i dont make my Facebook as my diary so the world will know everything i do or feel, not like that. but at least i can be real me sometimes and i dont hide my identity. i can be confident though maybe im not perfect. and about you, i think you're not the one having feeling like that. plenty people out there feel more confident and comfortable to hide behind our profile on internet. people will know what you write, pictures you upload but not the whole of your characters cos they never meet you face to face. knowing this makes you comfortable then feel confident to be more than you in your real life. for example you may become more talkative in chatting room meanwhile you are a quiet person in your real life. you express better if you are talking to people you dont know. i think it's normal. a lot of teenagers todays feel like what you feel..

hi, for me i am both the same in real and in even in chat or in the internet,i am still me,i also observe that some people act differently in the internet compare to the real life,and i have a friend who been like that,she is really have different persona in the internet and in real.

The only real difference between my true self and my online self is that upon meeting in person I am a bit shy. Otherwise, I'm the same me. I think the reason some people are more "themselves" online is it's less personal. It's not a family member judging us. However, I've been blessed to make some great friends online. I don't mean just talking with them online or on the phone, I've met some in person. One has been to my home several times and she and her husband live out of state. We have become like family. Too often we are afraid to be ourselves around family and peers. We are programmed to behave a certain way and we fear these people won't accept us if we are completely open. I've seen and experienced too much over my life to sit in a corner and act how others believe I should. Love me for myself or don't. I love me for myself and that is most important. There will be some that walk away. There will be some that embrace us. Embrace yourself. Just my experience.

Because the Internet removes many of the inhibitions that plague us nerds, allowing us to focus on the communication-tools we thrive on (words) as we wouldn't otherwise DARE to use them with our unworthy real-life bodies. Think of the differences between what someone with NO money does for fun & -what someone with MILLIONS-&-MILLIONS does for fun.
