>>87895637A difficult question. My online persona across the ages could be said to be more "real" than the "real me" that I use for everyday life. On the other hand online I am far more funposty and attempt to make myself and others laugh than I am IRL by a far margin. IRL I am a serious figure despite my approachability and seemingly chatty nature. It is impossible to exist in my society without being constantly engaged in small talk, but I remain completely detached from it and give nothing of myself to it or other people, since I find them uninteresting. I am largely indifferent to everyone, while online I care a lot about /our girls/ and Internet stuff in general. The Internet is also the only place where I can express and pursue my authentic interests, be it anime and hentai or studying history and other such things. I guess you could say that my Internet persona is closer to myself than the "real me" but this is because on the Internet I can utterly immerse myself in the topics and cultures and people that interest me, while real life doesn't give me that opportunity or those people. This raises the bar of intensity. The online me is high pressure/high energy and thus colorful and vivid, but if I had the same opportunities IRL I'd probably be less noticeable.
In general I am a very discreet and private person. Very reserved. I too maintain many facades and dead ends, which in turn makes it possible to be honest, vulgar, passionate and even hateful. In the end the Internet itself is a tool and instrument for self discovery and self advancement, and a kind of paintbrush. The girls themselves are helpful allies and a source of motivation and vigor for me.
