Are you using your Avatar as a mask to hide your personality? ?

Oscar Wilde said that "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth". And we have an Avatar !!

YA suggestion category for this Q is : Beauty&Style > Make up section !!!

    we all wear masks to hide our "shadow side" as Jung called it and our masks are more socially acceptable versions of us and no mine doesn't look like me

    Y/A chose the Beauty & Style > Make-up section because of the word "mask". I don't usually hide the real me, & I become my own worst enemy because of it sometimes. My avatar looks as much like me as I could make it, & I have photos posted to verify that. My personality is reflected in my answers, so who's hiding? ~:|>

    Hiding and lying

    Why do people use avatars to hide. So that when adding a contact people can't look at there picture and reject them because you can't judge an avatar
