The problem with virtual communities is they can be reliant on written text and visual interpretation, that even the most honest person can be subject to a hundred different interpretations based solely on what the reader or viewer wants to take out a given situation! Thus it is difficult to really communicate 'who you are' and can sometimes be easier to just give in and become something that is an 'escape' from our only to human and flawed 'real' selves!

I think there are definitely people who suffer from this. Some people get really wrapped up in their online identities to the point where their personal lives suffer tremendously or they "lose themselves" and become whatever it is they are trying to project to people online. People need to step away from the computer once in a while!

Well I'm just me on here & Facebook, I don't think I could be arsed to keep making stuff up about myself. I'd soon forget something & trip myself up. But I can imagine there are plenty that do.
