Is your 'online persona' the real you? Are you the same character in both places - on social media and in real life? Nothing you divulge will be held against you in a court of law.

Ok, the link is from 2016, but is it still relevant?

I would say that this is the worst version of myself. The least interested in making you happy although I avoid the fights now by completely avoiding you.

I'm disappointed. Considering the extended opaque monologues you usually post, I get a miserable two lines as an exit. But hey, I'll take what I can get. Of course, part of the deal is, I expect you to keep your word.

Ah, I knew I could count on you.

But you can better than that. I know you can.

Try again.

That sentence was good, but it could have been spiced up with some expletives.

Keep it going.

I am very shy in the real world almost to the point that I'm an introvert. I would never discuss my personal life with someone offline the way I have here. Being introverted has caused problems when I was working because I wasn't a social butterfly. People saw me as someone who thought she was better than others. That wasn't true. I just preferred to keep to myself. I was there to do a job, not to do chatter with people that I knew would eventually talk about me when I walked away from them. I saw them talk about others behind their back. My way didn't give them ammunition to do it to me.

Silence or a pause allows people to inject their own prejudice into your space. That is the case in conversation. It's also the case in social media/blogs, chat rooms.

Over time, our posts truly reveal who we really are.

It's an education and some academics are writing thesis on the subject.

You're boring, and you're a tool. Thats the conclusion of various academics and the general population. Deal with it.

I'm in complete agreement with you secretagent09 as I was the same and thought the same as you do as it's very true.
