It might not be desirable to have a consistent identity across all platforms, an identity you are proud of putting in front of others, an identity that resembles your best self. Identity can be a moving target. It is easier to build trust though, when someone's persona is more or less consistent.I don't interact with people online in the same manner that I do offline, and I feel like that may be a part of the issue.
Why would you do that? If you are a pleasant, polite, thoughtful person on line, wouldn't you be the same IRL? Or vice versa. or do you try on different personas in places like Hubski, the way you might in Second Life?I also don't act the same at home as I do when dining in a restaurant
When I first read that statement, I thought you meant that at home you'd yell at the cook and criticize the server, but that you wouldn't do that in a restaurant (or vice versa). Then I wondered if you meant that at home you'd eat with your fingers, lick the plate, and chew with your mouth open.
