do u ever wonder what people are really like when they don't have to bother with their image? when they're alone, by themselves. when they can do stuff being anonymous?

do you ever wonder if this person you know as a friend is any different when he/she is away from friends as compared to when in the company of others? do you think about why there is a discrepancy in behaviour and attitudes, if any?

i do. but i don't know why. more importantly, i don't know why this person can be like that at all! in a wired up society like ours, in this modern day and time, we hear that anything is possible, because technology has transcended so many barriers such that anonymity is a trivial issue in a sense. we hear of unknown others engaging in activities that amuse you, that shock you, that make you wonder the reason behind those acts. and yet, nothing creates a bigger impact than knowing someone who would do that. depending on the circumstances, on history, and on relationships, the implications are....interesting. interestingly positive or not, that's entirely subjective. but disappointment sure isn't something that doesn't pop into your head.

why?
