Living in societies poses a series of limitations to us. In the real world we have to be diplomats so as not to offend none of the several existing points of view, for example.\n\nAlso societies punish and/or ostracyze their members who don't share the opinions that these societies think they should have.\n\nHonesty and frankness are virtues, but unfortunately being too honest and too frank often brings us problems.

We're human, we are bound to hide in some way.  Either to hide our personality flaws or to hide physical deformity of some sort.  Does anyone know everything in our heart?  Some overcompensate and are boistrous and loud to hide insecurities, some are indifferent and unresponsive because they shut themselve out from the world so they don't get hurt.  Some seem real but are really a shell.  People are meant to adapt.  We change depending on who we are with, where we are, and how comfortable we feel. Everyone wears a mask, even the one who answer these questions.

Sounds to me like ur a pervert and ur trying to see people doin things that they don't want u to see them doin. Theres a thing called privacy and u should respect it.

Because it's not a dating site! I'm just here for entertainment and answers/advice. So, I don't really care what everyone looks like. Plus, the 'cartoon faces' are cool! ;0)

I think that people are more "open" on-line than in real life, so while you meet somebody on-line you know more about him/her, know more about his/her deep feelings, personality than if you knew them in real life. If you meet them they may seem different and you might feel cheated, but actually it's not because they were lying to you, it's because in real life we all try to put on the mask to fit in society.

Awww that's so sweet honey!! I think that it's easy for people to dismiss the validity of others in cyberspace....but at the other end of the computer is a human being, I think it's perfectly sweet that you think of your YA friends.  I have met some fantastic people on here and I don't count them as less valuable because it's the internet.  (((((hug)))))

What exactly do you mean by casual. I do like that the por* aspect bothers you. Did you ever think to gt rid of the angry look on your avatars face and maybe then you will meet someone.

Open? What the Hell? Do you have skin covering the head? Pull it back if you what to look like the others? But why would you want that?

yep! thanks for the wake up call. i was procrastinating choosing an avatar.  i thought it (grey creepy) was just generic, but it's downright scary.  even this :) is better than that.  i will choose another picture immediately if not sooner.

I think these people live in a world called every human's fantasy. The only way you would ever look like your avatar is if you are a super model. I doubt many super models spend time on line.

Sure, use a cloaking program.  I live in China and purchased Anonymous Browser online, works perfect and I can view any website.

Social masks are pretensions people wear when they are in public, if you ask me it's another term for hypocrisy. You put on a certain mask on a certain event to protect the self or ego.

I would immediately look at your avatar if it is nice. But whether I answer you or not is depends on your question. :) Anyway I answered you not because ur avatar looks good, cos' your question is interesting to me. the looks of an online person can be fake, so it has no meaning to me actually. Thats why I chose a cat for my pic here :) Have a nice day!

I have a theory on that.   I think that some people live in a their internet world and are so involved with how cool they are that they don't really care about what is going on around them.  Why do you think we see so many questions about people wanting a boyfriend or girlfriend or what I should wear questions?
