How many alter-egos do you have if any, and regardless of the number, which is the single most important intangible that contributes to your realness or reality? I was just wondering ...

I searched... and I searched.... but i couldn't find anyone in here.
I'm like the interface, between the internal and the external. And my reality is virtual, pretty much like an operating system on our computers.

Keeping it real...hmmm. That is so much harder than it sounds. None of us keeps it real all the time. We all lie, for one thing. But when I lie it is usually to keep from hurting someone else's feelings or maybe to keep from giving up someone else's secret. Also, when you smile, do you always mean it? When you ask someone how they are doing or what's happening--do you really want a response? Do you gossip behind a person's back, then smile to their face? It all depends upon the principles you have and your focus for the moment. It comes down to making the right choices. We all have to make some bad choices in life too, and hopefully, learn from our consequences.

Not a simple question...Ego develops from sense of "I'ness , or sense of identification which later will be placed outside and triggers developing personalities such as 'I am good, I am bad, I am fire fighter, I am a son , a daughter, I am sick, healthy and so on. Personalities is self created "selves" which contributing to ego as an additional identification which becomes prime such as , I am republican, I am CEO, I am programmer, dentist,idiot, name it. All of it represents self "created" you, not an authentic one, which still real you and now cries out time to time repressed.

I don't have to cover who I am through alter-egos as I've the confidence in myself to not find them necessary. So far as keeping it real goes it means be truthful, don't lie, exaggerate, or omit facts.

i tried to consult with Smeagol(lord of the rings scrawny schizophrenic creature)for his opinion but unfortunately,his alter-ego punched him in the face.so Smeagol's currently recovering.needn't worry because Smeagol has a spiffy new pirate eye-patch:)
i always wondered why other people had the audacity to question whether or not someone was "keepin' it real." for instance:how would they know whether or not i was or wasn't "keepin' it real",unless they're just presumptuous & judgmental & quick to label others as a "poser"?!(i think people who accuse others of being a "poser" are the actual insecure ones,who are in denial about "keepin' it real" for themselves) people are ever-changing chameleons,not jus image-wise but also attitude-wise.we're naturally curious to explore new ideas/perspectives & try to adapt accordingly as we see fit.that's if we're open-minded enough to take into consideration other possibilites for improvement,instead of having a fixed set of thinking that doesn't allow or tolerate new influences & different interpretations,which could potentially help us reflect in terms of who we are(i think this is where the "soul-searching" term kicks in) & in essence able to alter our mentality for the better(while still being true to who we are) well to me,"keepin' it real" simply means being secure & honest with myself:) ironically,the most stable thing about "reality" is that it's unstable.
i was also wondering your(questioner's)view on this.thanks.

I'm becoming more aware of my choices. That has helped me focus on the reality, and kept my egos and thoughts in check.

falling apart , I keep up the strong front for their
sake , but inside I hurt really bad , I lost my wife
to cancer , I keep myself busy and try to meet
new people, but it can never be the way it once was
truly in love and truly happy

There is not real you. Because each of us, are nothing. And nothing, isn't real. And real is nothing.
Did you get it?
Science isnt science, because what do we know 100% for sure? Nothing. And what is nothing? Nothing!
