Why do you think people have the need to pretend to be something they're not? Like on the internet, for example. All it really is is just a big role playing game. "Real" people are few and far between on here.
Do you think people are so sad in their personal lives that they feel such a need for acceptance they must lie to get it? How can you lie to yourself? There's always that little guy in the background yelling "BULLSHIT!" in the back of one's mind, isn't there? Or do some people not have that?
Why do they try to lie and say they're more educated than they are,and then post and completely expose themselves as liars? Why do they say they make more money,are better at this or that,etc? Do you think they really start to believe their own hype?
For the record, I'm a stay at home mom. I "officially" dropped out in 9th grade,but I haven't actually attended a school since seventh. I was an A student. I went on to get my GED at 19. I wear sweat pants and t shirts and steel toed boots. I am not a big people person, so I avoid a lot of social situations. I have 2 kids. I'm not parent of the year, but I'm not a monster.
I have saggy tits and I'm certainly not skinny. I pluck my chin, because I have polycystic ovarian syndrome (which makes you fat, hairy, and zitty),and no insurance to pay for a hysterectomy. I'm not the best looking person ever, but I'm not the worst. I'm 32. I converse online in the same way I converse in real life with one exception. Since there are rules against personal attacks here,and I like it here, I try not to openly insult anyone. If some of the folks I've strongly disagreed with on here were to argue with me in real life, I'd have most certainly called them a few names,because it's a lot simpler than composing a well thought out, intelligent monologue taking apart each of their points.
Sorry for the long, rambling post, but what's your take? Are you being real here,or do you sometimes gloss it up? Why do you do that? Is it something you do reflexively? Do you feel unworthy of genuine friendship?
Do you feel it's possible to have genuine friendships on the net? Or do you look at it as just pretend?
