Re: Internet Bleeding into RL

That is something I struggle with on the daily. Particularly because, growing up from an era when our online identities were almost expected to be totally separate from our real lives like the Supermen to our everyday Clark Kents into today... has been weird. Having been a fandom content creator but a "low profile" person IRL all this time, in the beginning I didn't bother having separate accounts for "different identities" so I still have a lot of online fandom friends of the oldens on Facebook for instance.

At some point people seem to have made choices, either "by the way, this identity is me too" and went on to work with fandom-related stuff, as a main or a side job, while others went "never saw her" and virtually erased their previous online identities. And, maybe it's the neurodivergent in me that sees and understand human actions logically but doesn't know how to act accordingly, since there was no one I could imitate as this was an unprecedented occurence (Internet and bleeding into RL that is) I just didn't know what to do and my life became VERY weird and confusing because of it all. The quarantine kinda helped me organize my thoughts by distancing myself from both sides (working locally and cons lol) and realizing just how much I was juggling while I tried to keep Mary Jane from finding out I was Spiderman or something, but it's still very confusing to me and my sense of identity is a little skewed up because of it all, to the point that going offline into my miserable life feels better sometimes (often) than being online in this new web. Also I miss my creative outlets. UX webdesigning for the corporate web is not creative at all. Wow, anyway, sorry for venting. Dis messy
