Prompt 17: Do you give a lot of thought to your image online?

I do not give a lot of thought to my image when online. Why? I am just myself online and offline. That is where the "What you see is what you get mentality" comes in.

I have said it many times before. If I have to be someone or something I am not just to impress people or make them like me, guess what? They are not worth my time and effort.

I have been online for many years. There are times when I have met people online in a public pace (cardinal rule number one if you choose this path). I am glad I did. One of the guys I met ended up being psycho. Then, he turned around and pulled the same scenario with one of my co-workers at the time. What a small world.

When it comes to image, I get the short end of the stick. I am average build and looks. I now have teeth problems (some broke and decaying) since I have been unable to go to the dentist for a while. It is embarrassing. When I talk to my friends that are more beautiful than myself, my self-esteem issues come through in my words. It does not matter what we are talking about. My friends can pick up on it easily.

In other words, I am just me both online and offline.

Until next time...

Happy Writing!
