He has a "normal" profile, with his name, the schools he went, the birthplace, the town he lives in, his "real" friends and schoolmates, etc.
I created mine to play a social game, my name is fake, my listed job is the game I play, no referrings to birthplace, schools, jobs or whatever else that is strictly personal.
Once we had a kind of arguing cos he defined mine "half-fake" but he's right. The real info I share are my birthdate, my images and the place I live in. Well, I'm pretty proud of my aspect and the Wicklow County.
I found myself thinking about it. Honestly I'm against of sharing every kind of personal info on a public website, social network or whatever.
But... for a bit of a second I thought of myself and what I am now. I thought of all the people I have known in past and what they are now.
Married, already divorced, with children, bored, bald, fat, with old lived faces, probably the most of them has lost the concept of what living means. Probably the most of them has forgotten the last time they have done something "crazy".
In the back of my mind, I saw my profile as public, with my real name and available to them to look at it.
Me yesterday, that lil shy girl that has been the centre of their jokes for years, disparaged, mistreated, humiliated.
Me today, a gorgeous, smiling 40 years old gal that shows at least 10 years less, thin, in a perfect shape, living in a marvellous country as Ireland is, with a bunch of international friends that interacts with her daily and a pretty handsome boyfriend.
Childish, huh?
But.... God if it would be a satisfaction!!!
