This site feels like the only place I can be myself.
The me my peers and family know is a fraud. My relationships with them are distant and full of me pretending to be things i'm not.
Does anyone here understand this feeling? Has anyone overcome it?
A website filled with trolls and children is where you feel like you can be yourself? Play an MMO

I understand what he's saying and I would say it this way, and it's why I've been using online media to make friends since the 80s. It's not like I feel more like myself, it's that I don't have to pretend to be anyone else.

I'm 25 and I've been using 4chan since 2007. I felt that way for a few years when I was younger but got over it as I got more comfortable with myself and happier casually making jokes about stuff that in the past I'd share online but paranoidly hide IRL. It helps that I don't have anything really bad to hide like extreme redpill beliefs etc. How old are you OP?
