There is something about being online that brings out the worst in me. I don't know what it is exactly, but all I know is that I'm a really shy person in real life and I don't like attention.

Here in the online world, my emotions still go insane, only I act on them. In real life I keep them all inside. I release my emotions online and this causes problems.

Would it be better if I left? I assure you that the real life me and the online me are almost totally different persons in terms of behaviour.

I think it is the online disinhibition effect that is causing me problems.

Any ideas on how to deal with this?
