ORIGINAL: LaTigresse But the rest, those that are having some sort of identity crisis or trying to be sneaky, I don't think very highly of them. What if it's neither of those things-more an acknowledgement that you're a multifaceted person? I'm not sneaky-I'm open about having multiple accounts, and I have never and would never use an old account to back myself up in the forums. I'm not having an identity crisis-I know who I am (or at least as far as anyone my age does). It's just that I don't feel like all the parts of me can be represented in a single profile. Does that mean you think less of me? I guess I would just be puzzled and curious....... I see ALL people as being multi faceted and complex. Yet, I don't know a single soul, in person, that has to have different identities to express all their facets. I can only look at the subject through my own filters. I know myself and how complex I am. If not for the obvious stupidity of doing so, I would use the same 'me' here as I do at work, at home, everywhere. I expect those that care about me to accept all my facets, even if they don't understand them. If someone cannot accept all of me, then I view it as their problem, not mine. It is up to them to filter out what they don't like. A sort of, 'don't ask and I won't tell'. It confuses me because, what you describe makes me think of a person with multiple personality disorder....... completely different names and personas. I guess I just cannot relate to that. It feels somehow deceitful and fearful. As though you fear that someone that knows you as xyz, would not accept the facet of you that is abc.
