I feel like I'm the opposite. I've parceled out a few bits of info here...I'm married and have a kid and I live in Texas, I've put myself up in a couple of the masks/hats I've made, but I feel like I'm more my authentic self here than in person. There's a freedom to anonymity that I don't get with my family or the few people I spend time with in meat space. I guess the answer is yes, I feel like I'm pulled in 2 separate directions but in a good way 🤷♀️. I've found people here who lift me up and think I'm good enough whereas I seem to always be lacking when I'm with family.
#NOSTR RAMBLINGS:
I find myself in a constant balancing act when using nostr. On one hand I want to be my authentic self. I also want to maintain anonymity and privacy at all times.
Does anyone else feel like they are being pulled in 2 different directions when they engage with nostr regularly?
Further thoughts:
The tension I feel when using nostr is all in my head and is based on how I want others to perceive me in this world.
The beauty of nostr:
Nostr allows you to be as public as you want or as private as you want.
The choice is yours and the rest is in your head!

Discussion
That’s a very personal thought to share and thank you for doing so :) I feel the same way in some regards. I can definitely talk about topics that interest me here on Nostr more . Topics I can’t talk about incessantly IRL because I haven’t met like minded people who dig the things I dig - not many anyway! I think giving away a little (info) can help a lot. Not a complete anon but still having something tangible for people to relate to. I’m glad you have found peace here 🙌🏽✨
Glad you're here 🫂
