I try not to be. Sometimes I feel like hiding my opinions and not challenging others' assumptions of me is a matter of safety, but doing so is bad for me mentally, and when I let the mask slip it's never as bad as I think it will be. My online person is as close to the real me as I am willing to show anyone, and that might be closer than most people's offline personas are to their real selves.
