Venting "Touch grass"

[AspiLynn]

"You are chronically online."
"People in the real world aren't like this."
"You should go out more."

So, to the "real-world" people who by some chance came across this.
Are you real in front of your parents?
Are you real in front of your companion?
Are you real in front of your children?
Are you real in front of your teachers?
Are you real in front of your friends?
100% honesty? No lies, no deceit, no deception whatsoever?

You want to know someone's true nature? Give them a mask.
Or you know, a username and a profile picture.
Now, it will not apply to everyone, granted, but I believe it makes sense to say that anonymity allows people to be more honest than usual.

"People in the real world aren't like this."
No shit. They have an image to uphold in the real world.
Like how I won't say this to anyone either, because I know DAMN WELL this is cringe.

They might not be "like this" in the real world, it doesn't mean they "aren't this".
At the very least, they are DEFINITELY capable of "being this".

Stop pretending like the real world and the online world aren't connected whatsoever.
I don't come here because I am a normal human being surfing around for the lols, I DO WISH I CAN GAIN THE COURAGE TO DIE ONE DAY.

"Touch grass."
Even plants know to come up with their own weaponry to defend themselves.

For fuck's sake.
Shut up.

I've started being more social/outgoing and no, nothing changed. Also i think people like us are more real than these "real world" people, we can at least tell the harsh truth instead of just hiding behind hedonistic activities.

Very well spoken I like this,
I also realize that in this world I'm not so truthful about myself,

My body in this world is just a vessel, a very broken vessel to carry a part of me that I separate from my vessel but still related to each other, and that part I called my soul, the shadow behind the light

That soul is the most unreachable yet the truest reflection of me, and it's wandering so far from the vessel and the world where it placed
