Forums - General - Is your internet persona/"avatar" the true you or a mask?

Akvod on 13 July 2009

Not about your profile pic.

Edit:

Are you more true to yourself when you are on the internet? Does being annonymous or being able to adopt a seperate persona/name/avatar allow your subconscious desires to come up? Can we consider the personality you use outside, and on the internet to be 2 different things? Are we more true to ourselves on the net, than in outside society?

That's an excellent question. For the most part, I speak and act the same way I do in real life.

To clarify for myself and others: the question you're asking is whether or not our "true selves" would come out in a case where we are wearing masks, so to speak?
