:D

I would tend to agree. This is part of the reason I love the internet, and forums. In real life, I have a reputation to keep up. Here, or on other forums, or on online games, I don't. I can be a version of me that, while it isn't necessarily the whole, real me, it is definitely a part of myself that always gets shoved to the back in real life...on the internet, I can finally let it out.
Ditto, I act differently at school and at home than I do at the internet, I feel exactly the same way as Renorei do where the personality I have here often gets suppressed by the formal self I represent when outside my walls, Cause I worry abou reputation and thats what prevents me from being the whole me, The way I act hhere is similar to the way I act out thier but not enitrely.

That's what living in the real world is all about because people have to flow with what is popular and "in" or else the mainstream which all things must flow with or else exceptance is impossible. I hate that so I don't go with the mainstream I hate comformity it brings an end to individuality, and that's what being human is all about.

Image ...yeah...I've worn a few here myself... Image


And OTHERS have worn more than any of us would care to count...some even changing thier names once or twice.


I've allways been Vuldari here, and most places recently...


...but elsewhere I have also been known as "Reece", "Doshido" (Or 'Doshido_N') and once upon a time..."Ander Rahl".

Aye... I actually have social anxiety. I only have a couple of good trends, and whenever i find myself at any kind of social gathering, i usually end up staning off in a corner alone, sweating my a** off, anxious as hell for i dunno why.

However, should be noted that the internet comfort definatly doesn't apply to everyone. Though thats more the fault of identity theft fears n such...

i'm more comfortible online because i don't actually have to see and cope with anyones reactions. If i made a coplete idiot or a** of myself, the most that would happen is some flaming posts. (not that i would do that intentionally) ironicly, i've posted drawings and such online, when i'm still to insecure to show them to my best friend...
Deviantart? Why'd I do this?
I am relentlessly agressive
