Sure, it can be fun pretending to be someone else for a few hours online, but while doing so, is your integrity still intact?

    Online, nothing holds me back from being the real me. In real life, I am learning how to not let things hold me back but I still care too much what people think. I am a kind caring person and in life I get taken advantage of too easily. I have found that online I am able to voice how I feel without worrying about anyone else, and it's helping me to be more open in life. I'm glad for EP. It's a great place to practice voicing.

    no; I'm more shy and quiet offline. It's easy for me to type what I want to say or feel, but I wouldn't be able to say things offline that I would online. I"m like Adrian on the movie Rocky.

    I am able to express myself more online. I think my inner feelings do come out more online.

    I think that's pretty much the consensus....being able to express oneself fully online than off! I understand, I just hope while expressing yourself, you're not also adding elements to your character that does not describe you at all! Thanks for answering! :)

    I can only be honest. But if that has portrayed sides of my character.. so be it. I can only be myself. We all have are positives and negatives... and our pride too

    Depends on who I'm talking to. I must admit that those reading my stories here on EP know more about me, emotionally than any other people I know.

    Very much so, though there are aspects to myself I don't share online at all; and I speak less shyly online than offline, which might be true for most people, that last bit.

    truth be told, not really.

    I'm a bit more vocal online.
    offline, I'm reclusive and not fond of people.

    Im the same person,but with the chance to speak of what I believe in,and the experiences Ive had.So perhaps EP serves me as a mouthpiece and a place to find like minded people.
