Unmasked

[Alexander L. Gelacio Jr.]

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."

~Oscar Wilde

Does this apply to you? do you hide behind your online persona to be able to be honest to yourself and the world?

I noticed in many forums, the bravest critics are those who remain anonymous to the community, but how brave are you without your mask?

[my_hEaD_isBIG]

brave as your avatar, TS.

[hanzheyteta]

speak now or forever hold your peace. hahaha dili ni moapply nako ts. i don't wear a mask and has no need of one ever since.

[mybuuz]

dili tanan anonymous kay expert, natungnan lang siguro ka ug garaon.
naa man sad nay gamit ang pagka-anonymous, for security purposes sad.

shofa oka may be one of the example



He's very daring and maldito and judgemental in the forums which lead to him getting banned all over again.

But we dunno that in person he maybe this silent, loner, bullied, crybaby-inside-his-room and nobody-wants-to-talk-to-him kind of person thats why dri sya gapahungaw.

Agree ku ani TS. Ang mga grabe kaau mocritic nga maabot sa point nga mang troll ky nag salig sa ilang anonymity.

Kabantay sad ko ani niya, Ses. The way he/she posts or comments kay sort of offensive in some way. Makes me wonder as well on what he/she is like in person.

OT: I guess we have all noticed that. Even sa online gaming, ang kusog man trashtalk kay di magpakita in person. They find strength in anonymity but in person, ug imo atubangon, di halos mutingog. The irony..

Yep! Naa ma'y term ana sa psychology, i forgot lang. nagtaya najud ako utok!

Bisan man gani koh, ayha rako kastorya sakong real opinions online, pero in person, Im really silent and di ko dali ma close and Im shy at first. I think it's because I care about what people think about me way too much ra cguro. or maybe di rajud ko kahibaw mu approach ug taw in the first instance
