I'm not going to be the person you want me to be anymore

I find it really difficult to give out my true personality over the internet. A lot of people think it’s easier to be true to yourself when you’re online, because no one can see you and no one can judge you. But for me, I think it’s the same as being out there in the real world – if not, worse than that. I sometimes feel like I shouldn’t say certain things because I will be categorised. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------I hear a lot of talk online about fake, tanned, chavs, the ‘popular ones’ being bitches and all that. Seriously? Here’s me being 100% honest about who I am: - I use sunbeds and fake tan all the time
- I’m ‘fake’ because I use false eyelashes, wear makeup, pencil my eyebrows and present myself nice. - I listen to House/Dance/Electro, and a bit of Indie. - I was popular in school.- I don’t know of or care for the majority of bands that you mention. It's not my scene - I have my teeth whitened once a year - I’m practically your typical Essex girl -----------------------------------------------------------------------What bothers me is that I’ve pretended ever since I have been socialising online that I am none of the above. Being the above doesn't make me a bitch, an attention seeker or a chav. You have no idea about the kind of person I am. You have no idea about what's it like to be where I'm from.
