I read it. Thank you. What you say about yourself seems very true about most of us.....some of the time at least.

I enjoyed "The Masks We Wear". I believe internet forums (fora?) are a way of freeing people to say things about Themselves! that they wouldn't do in real life...because of their anonymity here. I'm very crude here; I am not in real life. My parents wouldn't stand for it and I would feel like I would be bringing shame to them. But here, no one knows me and no one cares and I can express myself in a totally different way. I call this my "e-life" and my regular day-to-day life is just "my life". "my life" and my "e-life" are two separate entities.

I am very much the kind person who wears masks, too. That was fun to read.

i wear masks in a sense, distracting the people around me with laughter and too much sex talk. being crass also helps. if you make people smile and laugh, they rarely consider if your any deeper than that. i feel safe that way. few people really know me. i prefer it that way. when people know you, and your weaknessess, they can hurt you. and that really sucks. i enjoyed your update.

I have somehow tried to 'disguise' my weaknesses in social situations, but now I am beginning to feel that life is much more fun if I just let them show..

I dont wear any masks that I know of. I talk when I am talkative. I am quiet, by own my nature. I keep myself quite closed off and reclusive. I get the feeling that people here sometimes make an immediate assumption based on my name that I am negative.

Maybe thats correct. I am always me.

*tries to come up with a joke*

Good one Freelance.
