Hi guys!
I've been thinking about starting a vlog recently but there is one thing that's always bothered me and that's whether or not to identify myself. I know it sounds silly but because of fanfics like 'As You Are' (okay nothing really happens, but the pairing is still male x male) or doodles that I enjoy making but am generally not proud of (anime or nudes, etc), I'm not sure if I want people to recognize me, or even worse for family members to recognize me, especially those I don't get along with.
So what do you think? If you were in my shoes, would you make your idenitity known and tell family and friends that this is part of who you are, or keep two different profiles?
Thanks for your thoughts!










You can be relatively anonymous in the crowd here where people won't find you unless they look for you, but if you're concerned about what family members might do if they do stumble upon you, either be content sanitizing this aspect of your life, or remain anonymous until their opinions can no longer hold sway over you.
Thank you very much for your input ♥
and my personal opinion is pretty much just, be yourself.
don't be what others want you to be because you fear their reaction. i'm a giant hypocrite for saying this because i don't follow this at all. but it's still my opinion.
only you can make your life what you want it to be, you can keep that part of you that likes yaoi and such as a pure online identity with no face or personal detail for anyone other than the ones you trust the most, or you can take and bring it out from here, making it your real life, at whatever cost it may have. i think it all boils down to your personal preferences and what you really want.
And so I agree with what you said and I'm going to try my best to be myself, but the current me doesn't care much for yaoi. The fanfic I mentioned is an old project of mine, the characters don't even kiss, though I will feel bad about the people who were following it on fanfaction.net so perhaps I'll just try to neatly wrap it up and have them live happily ever after.
Thank you so very much for your encouraging words and support! I'll do my best to be the best me there is! ♥
its way harder than it sounds, i know that. but still.
i can easily see why you like yaoi based on that, i like that about it too, but i still feel unpleasant when i see two guys or two girls kissing etc. probably scars from the past tainting me lol.
i just hope it all goes well for you. also just fyi, the best you there is, is the only real you there is.
and i think you will find love soon. so you dont need to worry about that.
Truly, thank you for all the support and comfort, it really helps and I hope that your wounds will one day heal as well ♥
need someone to talk to or just want to say hi, i'm always up for a chat ^^
take care of yourself, and good luck with it all. ^^
