Its probably not healthy. It's actually pretty normal. People present different sides of themselves to different groups of people. Think about how you act around your parents. Do you act that way in front of your friends? How about in front of your professors? Your boss? Your students? Some people craft their personas very meaningfully -- I can think of a few off the top of my head even on this site -- but for others, it's a reaction and depends roughly on the medium of communication. | ||

age 14: get on Usenet through the public library computer age 15: make friends with a whole bunch of people doing random computer/IT stuff ???: learn how to code/do advanced math/combinatorics + make friends with a grad student who later became a professor at MIT age 18: go to MIT off a combination of math skills, decent SATs, connections with said grad student and affirmative action (one of the few times where I would say AA provided a social net good) age 22: graduate from MIT and start working for said consulting firm age 35: become a partner making 5 million a year when almost half his relatives, by his own admission, are still in the projects. making friends on the internet is definitely one of the best ways to improve the quality of your social network, and the younger you start, the better. | ||
