Who You Are in the Comments
Online, in comments and chats, you're a bit braver than in real life. Sharper. Quicker to fire off a clever put-down, to pile on, to say the thing you'd never say to someone's actual face. Behind a screen, with no one looking at you, it's easy — the words come out harder and faster than they ever would in person. Then one day you said something cutting to someone online, and later you saw them in real life. And you couldn't look at them. The gap between the harsh, witty commenter you are on the screen and the person standing in front of you suddenly felt enormous. Online-you is meaner than real-you. And you're starting to wonder which one is becoming the truth.
