Do you have problem speaking up as who you really are?

  I tend to be more straight-forward with my speech these days. If I not happy bout particular topics (sometime crapping can cross the limit) regarding me or others... I will definatelly give my comments to the other party openly or privately and if there a need to be aggresive to the other party, I'll definately do so.
  
  Basically, there nothing to hide. This is just an online community unless the other party entered ur reality social circle. But I'm glad that I knew a few friends whom entered my reality social circle of friends.
  
  hmm, maybe there do something to hide? Like u strike TOTO or 4D? hahaha!

  i always try to be tactful in my speech.
  there are simply lotsa sensitive pp around n u dun wanna hurt their feelings intentionally..moreover not all appreciate blunt honesty.
  however towards pp whom i truly care about..i giv straight up answers..knowing they understand my intent.
  its too tiring to keep up a facade...
  
  as for online split identities thingy...its fine as long as no damage is done.pp are entitled to their privacies after all...thgh its again tiring on my part to rbr an extra username n password..

  A thought came to me..
  
  though some of us in this forum 'hide' behind a nickname.. but with this anonymity, maybe their true self surfaces even without them noticing..

  Unless you're trying to create some sort of alter ego.

  Yeah, well, there's plenty of people out there with inferiority complexes. Singapore, like a lot of other places, has a culture of "if you can't keep up with the Joneses, you'd jolly well better make it look like you are anyway".

  i think it's a good thing. these ppl are probably quiet ppl, or really goody-goody ppl with a devil inside of them. they have lots of questions, or have lots of things that they would like to do in real life, but don't dare to do it.
  
  rather than letting their feelings or thoughts build up inside them, they have an avenue to show their inner self. well ...... of coz, some of them irritate others. but, i prefer them irritating others on the internet than in person.
  
  hmm ..... taking sgboy2004 as an example (sorry!! ), for all your know, he's a really charming, quiet boy in person. and ah ma could be sibeh chio for all you know (i'm sure that's what stoner is thinking!!). apologies for the use of nicks, but just trying to quote real life examples
