Just Be Yourself.
Our life is a performance, and we all are the actors. Each of us plays many roles in our daily life: in the family, with our friends, with our colleagues, with some strangers, in the Internet as well. Some people are very balanced playing their roles. Some people are opposite in their spheres. I have met such people.
Speaking about the Internet, it's a very interesting thing to have an opportunity to pretend an absolutely different person to play a new role. As for me, I like myself in my real life, so I have never wanted to take this opportunity. But I can understand people who do that. Everybody know that we can play a trick on somebody, but deceiving oneself is impossible and absolutely useless. Be yourself, be different, unlock all your talents, and be honest with yourself.
How many roles do you play in your life? Are you a good actor? What does 'being oneself' mean for you? When and where are you real in your true colours?

With extremely respects, the below poem by Speakers is donated to valuable friend of mine, dear Julie. When I was student of English it was my favorite text in Macbeth.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

It's OK when someone has several masks or roles. It isn't a hypocrisy. In our daily life we have a deal with many different groups of people and demonstrate them one or another our quality. But some people try to seem better (or vice versa, worse) in new society: at university, at work, on social site... They try to play an absolutely foreign role. As a result, they confuse and fail.

To be yourself, nice topic ,Julie.
Generally speaking I think at this world we have many masks to wear at each occasion. The choose of wearing or no depend of us if we want to be authentic.
Sometime I faced the internet world with a veil of mask, often it seems me a virtual world made by characters weird. But I prefer to be sincere and put my face.
What can I gain deceiving ? I think, nothing.
It is also true that is easier to be yourself in a "virtual world" rather in the daily life..hehe
