Facebook - you, or your alter ego?
 

Do you censor yourself on your Facebook page, or is it relatively well representative of your true personality?

A lot of my contacts on my Facebook page are professional ones, and I have several family members on there, so my Facebook page is extremely censored when it comes to my true interests and general personality. I'm certain that if I didn't edit myself, it would be very detrimental to my professional life, and I KNOW my family would have me committed. So really, my Facebook page might as well be for an entirely different person.

And you?

I'm an avid user of the facebook friends lists... I have a list of family members that I update whenever a new one adds me, and a list of professional contacts on a separate list. Everybody else that I'm friends with are just friends. Whenever I put up content that could be detrimental to my work/family -life, I restrict it to exclude people on those lists. That way only my peers have to see the grosser things that amuse me

I didn't even know you could do that. What. The. Fuck.

Yeah....that's too much work for me. I just "censor" some parts...if you can even say that...

i'm pretty vulgar and open about things but i am like that in real life as well

drugs are the only thing i tend not to discuss on facebook

Ah Hayden, you are the picture of propriety.

i had to google that word i should be asleep but i'm berating a kid from my school who thinks he can sing i'm assuring him he can not

he can't sing and his mouth looks like it's full of chiclets like his teeth do not appear to be actual teeth at all i think they are pieces of gum

Pluck one out and let us know.

me too. my cursor is fucked btw.

on the thread question.. baby, almost exactly as you said it: My EGO. ego. ego.

I'm more fat in real life than on FB, where I use a number photoshop tools to make my face look smaller.

Well in that case, you do a fabulous job. Keep up the good work.

why would i want to add family members? so they can stalk me and know i'm a prick? nothx.

i find it's still for me

find a system easy'er and more intelligent if everthing is one site
for example information about ecology
that you have all people who are for green cities, against testing on animal, against nucliar power, against polluting industries

that all information can be found on one website that gives all information about the situation of nature and human pollution
like the influencce on the nature where you live from fukushima
how much radicativity you have, what animals are polluted you eat ect
so you are updated from your place
so you can have prevention to stear what you can to give yourlife more life chances
what then an intelligent is

in this example
what i'm try'ing to explain

i feel myself on face book comming close to my personality
on issues where i stand behind and find smart

and i would not know why my lifecompas should not be directed to live smart
if i can do better
then i will

for me it has nothing to do with human fashions, trends and things

still waking up slowly
take my time before i connect with the online world and recent information

i'm 100% nature made
got to stay in reality too

internet is internet
wires that transport information

I add my family members, they already know I'm a prick...

my neice knows I'm a prick.


My 12 year old cousins do not, TAHT was a mistake.

THIS PC WONT LAST THROUGH THE YEAR.

NOW THAT THE CURSOR IS FUCKED
I M ALMOST CERTAIN I LL POST A PORNCLIP URL INSTEAD OF A SONG'S ONE DAY
OR POST SMTH THAT WAS MEANT FOR A PM, IN PUBLIC!
pure horror.

im skipping.

The worst would be if Google started telling FB about your porn history and preferences without telling you.

oh dear, you are right.
google is more evil and dangerous than fb.
i never google myself, because i m very scared.

I have to be doubly careful sometimes to not hit the "Share on Facebook" button on my toolbar.

Then you'd get to see the real me on Facebook.

i'm sure yer co-workers and friends would love to see the porn you are beating off to.

I want to see nefeli's pornclip urls.

What's a facebooks?

I am not on the FacePage. So far all it has affected is my knowledge of several Bar Bee Cues that I would likely have skipped anyway.
My bosses know "the real me." I don't work with squares.

cool
it's all cool
who has no computer or no internet
or no car

we all have the same background of beeing poor
it is true
in the past everyone was poor
there was natural richness

My wife often wonders why I prefer sonic gossip to the facebooks.

I say, because the first time I ask my seester what it's like to fuck a goat is the last time I'll be invited to dinner.

What's it like, sonic gossip? What's it like to fuck goats?

my touch pad is fucked too it's likely i got cum or butter or wine on it i'm sure

me.

you lead a lovely daily life!
and you are sweeter than cherrypie.



you are free.

I censor myself all the time on FB, Google+, Twitter, and other messageboards. I tend to think twice or three times before I post anything anywhere.
The problem with fucking goats is you don't know if they've come or not.

In my world, the goats ALWAYS come.

Well la-dee-da, you just think you're God's gift to goats don't you?

As most you know, I am pretty much "me" on facebook minus a few minor details. However, this has proved to get me in trouble since jealous coworkers have nothing to do nut stslk me waiting for me to fuck up.

holy shit! You never cease to make me laugh!

I also have the professional problem. There are far too many people from work in my Facebook page and my work situation is highly political, so a slip pf the tongue could potentially do me a good deal of professional harm. I suppose I could always just male my crude/funny/self-incriminating posts only available to "close friends" but I dont want to even risk it. So I suppose my Facebook self is an alter ego of sorts. Also, I hate Facebook, so...

Severian, did I work with you?

pretty close.

But the things I dont post facebook are the things I dont tell most people anyway. Except the cat and floating.
