I am not trying to cast aspersions on anyone being "not real". It's human nature to put on faces for different situations.

Is the "work you" the "real you"? It's not "fake", but it's not necessarily the "real" you.

In church, is that the "real" you? At a drunken house party, is that "real"? To some extent it is, and to some extent it isn't.

On TT we exist as text constructs without a lot of the other contextual things that provied "reality", so that's why I feel noone here is the "real" them, regardless of how open and truthful we feel we are.

I posted something similar recently to your first part, but you lose me for the last. - b. Sep 7, 11:05 [Backboard]
absolutely true. however, no-one else (i'm pretty sure) is attempting (however poorly) to build an identity un-related to their reality. -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 11:03 1
- I guess I figure, if reality were kicking me in the groin the way his reality is kicking him in the groin, I'd be temped to say, "it's most fake" too. - musubi Sep 7, 11:08
