If you had to lie online about yourself - what would you lie about?

[noname223]

Me personally on things that could identify me.

I am not sure about what else.

I don't really see a benefit to make my life look better or worse than it actually is. It doesn't make much sense to me. For me empathy online is worthless especially when it is only warm words for a fake story. I try to be precise in what is going inside of me. But on English sometimes my expressiveness is limited.

I probably would try to be perceived as smarter than I actually was. However, I am open about the fact that I am an imposter with the imposter syndrom.

I would say I lie about my beliefs, but I have no convictions worth of moral and logical fortitude. (Do you worry about how you present your grammar when you type english here, as well as your command of vocab and other literacy tools? I am not the best either and I am not even ESOL.)

I would probably lie about the way I feel and try to sound emotionally stronger than what I actually am lol

Honestly, I probably should care more about my grammer, spelling etc. but it just costs too much energy. And I have the feeling most people on here don't really care or have empathy for not having enough resources to invest time in that. But for a nuanced essay writing in my native language is way easier. My German vocabulary is so much larger. On English I had to look up so many proverbs and technical terms. Usually I am too lazy for that...

Education in primary school is way too stilted for people to actually aborb these literacy concepts and language rules in an efficient manner in Anglo-adjacent countries (or almost anything in school for that manner), especially in the UK where that technical side of English gets pushed out of the cirruiculum. Probably why people just text speak and don't really care about grammar since you don't need to be well-read to have at least basic conversations in online or with friends.
