Do you identify with your avatar/profile?
If you have an avatar of a statue of plato
will you forever shun that urgent 'pokemon' question you have..
thereby imprisoning yourself within walls of your own mind..
to take this further, is this not the same way we are born into this world with 'infinite potential' (as we have heard) only to 'take shape' and thereby be bound by , experiences, opinions , freinds, etc etc why go on.. and remain bounded till death do us part or till it hits us and we become some crazy old
person.hmm..
The only difference is that your 'human body/mind' avatar is not changed by the click of a mouse etc..
my example doesnt have to be as far off as a child's video game.. I know friends on YA who always ask the same forms of question/in the same manner/ and answer in the same tone etc etc...
It doesnt really matter but have you noticed this too?
Answer:
Yes I do. However I speak my mind and don't let my husband control or manipulate me.
No I do not. My avatar does give a small accounting of my personal make up, but it is just a glimpse. I do not identify myself with an electronic facsimille of a human being and canines in a park.
The avatar identifies a wee part of me, and that is as far as it goes. I like dogs, that does not make me what I am.
I always wanted to be a black chef.
I look exactly like my avatar, except in real life, I wear proper plum lipstick and because FunQA.com doesn't have a civilized make-up option, my avatar has no lipstick. I refer to my avatar as someone else. Although she looks like I do, she is much more self-assured than I am in real life. Anyway, I love seeing how people role-play through unusual avatars, like dogs and cartoon characters and politicians and such. I oftentimes wish I would have created such an alter ego avatar from behind which I could explore a different perspective in how I might answer questions. Rather than being a prison for ones mind, I perceive alter-egos as a way to escape the confines of ones ego. In real life, I shucked the ego, the confines, the key and the whole works long ago and I don't exactly have limits to my mind anymore. Limits are self-imposed, you know, in another kind of theater (or avatar) we write for ourselves.
I'll answer that question from a different angle. None of the avatars on FunQA.coms appealed to me when I signed up; they were all oriented toward kids (adolescents and young adults). My present avatar represents my favourite character in my favourite novel.
Yes, it is the real me.
