There are differences between my real life person and my online person. But that does not mean either one of them are inauthentic. I think they are both true and honest representations of me. Circumstances online are much different than they are in real life. It is only natural that I would react/act differently in each setting. Of course, I don't go out of my way to create a imaginary person. I stick with my honest feelings, but how I show those feelings are different online versus real life. I think the "real me" is an integrated mix of the online me and the real life me.
