How often do you misrepresent yourself online?
How often do you misrepresent yourself online?
I asked a related question about how often you lie, on a daily basis, but I think this is more apropos for today's general aesthetic.
You're viewing a single thread.
I lie about everything... Even this comment is a lie.
In all seriousness, I do enough misdirection that it would be difficult to figure out who I am. But not impossible. Once in a while I'll post something that is completely out of character for me, just to throw off anyone that may actually know me.
Here is an example of why:
I have a former coworker fishing for me on Reddit and he is unaware that I no longer post on that site, or even have an account. A friend of mine clued me in to one of former coworker's posts which mixed a bit of truth in with some massive delusional lies. So once in a while I'll pull up his Reddit account to see if there is anything I need to send to my lawyer. Yeah, it's one of those situations. The post I was originally made aware of made my lawyer giddy and he was disappointed that I declined to set him loose. Former Coworker is a narcissistic loser that lives credit card payment to credit card payment anyway. The best way to deal with a narcissist is with indifference.
So yeah, my posts are true to the point where identifiable information is needed. Then I mis-direct.
It's kind asad when you are playing chess while your opponent is playing checkers. King me.
