You know there is something that genuinely makes me pause and think. "Surely, people can differ between their online presence and personas than their real life one yes?"
In the past few years, I've seen quite a few people who seem to make the correlation between online and real life, and it makes me wonder if it is a similar to mine "Where it was a story and character act" or if it is a legitimate bleed over.
If it is the latter, I suppose that would explain the rather kind of, how to say, "Rather delusional mindsets that seem to come from people not grounded in reality." Like, online stuff is great; but the real world isn't the online world. Reality is quite literally the anti thesis of virtuality; and as of right now, there's no way to fully live in a virtual world.
Trying to wear an avatar or a persona in the real world, and waking; especially if it's not genuinely sincere, is kind of like walking into Chernobyl wearing nothing but silk.
I mean, I don't really care, but there is sincerely a part of me that does indeed wonder "Whatever happened to the self reflection of mortality and humanity we're all supposed to have?" That when you take off the mask, undo the make up, that despite the lack of decorum, it's still you and no longer the persona?
Surely, people don't wholly identify with the online character they play, and the things their online character is defined by yes?
Perhaps this why most of the quite awful things I deal and uncover often deal with people with weak senses of Self, Confidence, or mental Immaturity.
