Why do I get so personal on the internet?
Seriously, I be myself more on the internet than I do in person. I talk about personal issues that I wouldn't to tell my closet friend or my family. I'm so afraid to talk about personal issues with friends and family but online, I'm an open book. Why is this?
Added (1). Don't worry, I don't tell my actual name, address or anything like that before anything.
Online no one knows you or sees you. You get to hide being a device. The computer the iPhone whatever device your using is hiding you. You are protected. You can say whatever you want online and disappear whenever you want. You can change your image a hundred times and no one would notice. Why? Because you are hidden. In person you are one person and one person alone. People meet you and they start forming their judgements on you. They hold these judgements and form the basis of who you are by what they see you do or what you say. Everything is under scrutiny. In person it takes a lot more damage control to fix a broken image. But online you can just disappear and reappear somewhere else with a clean slate. No one knows. Online you can hide what you want or say what you want to create the image of what you want. In person the other person is creating your image. And your image changes from person to person. It's harder to manipulate people's perception of you in real life.
The attraction of the internet is that you can vent and still maintain anonymity. No one knows who you are unless you want them to know. With friend and family there's a fear of being judged after revealing such personal details. But you know what? If you try opening up just a bit, you might be surprised at how understanding your friends might be towards your personal issues. You might also find that yo aren't the only one experiencing them. I learned this. Sharing personal thoughts will also help bring you closer to the people you care about. Pick something small and try giving it a shot bu opening up. : )
I do too. It's just more reassuring for me, because when you talk to someone you know, there's the fear of having them judge you, and you love them so that's just something you try to avoid. On the internet, if someone judges you, delete your account and make a new one.
Because You THINK what You Say- doesn't really "Matter…" Oh, -but it DOES! And THAT's the ( BIG ) Mistake that EVERYBODY Makes- on the Internet!
I think he just feels free to express what he thinks on the Internet because nobody can truly judge him. We're all equals, we're all typing at our computers, there's no judgement here. That's the point, I understand you, I do the same way
- Will my employer get my personal info? My employer just set up an IMAP account and I have an email address in it. My question is if he can get all the info on my Iphone since it's setup on it. He used to be in the communications business so I'm worried he put a software on my account to see my info. All help is appreciated.
- Will I be charged for sharing my internet connection via the personal hotspot on my iPhone? If I wanted to let someone use the Wi-Fi by turning on the personal hotspot on my phone will I be charged?
- Why won't my personal Wi-Fi work on my iphone? I just purchased a router and set up my own Wi-Fi with a password and everything and it works fine on my computer. Now I'm trying to use it on my phone as well and every time I sign into my name it says my password is wrong. I've done it over and over and I know my password is correct because that's how I logged onto it on my computer. What else can the problem be? And What can I do to fix it?

Instead it's "Here's a cookie, now shut up" or "Oh honey you don't have to participate in any activities if you don't want to, we'll just put you on Prozac and let you watch Netflix all day, oh and here's a new iPhone."
