Yeah unfortunately a lot of what I post and my persona on here is bravado and being the pantomime villain or village idiot. I'm quite a shy, serious person in real life.
You could try Jud's approach in Kes: Get a wesh, bit of splash, then look in t'mirror and say "By, some bird's gunna be lucky terneet!"
. I think Andrew Tennant gave me some good advice. Try and be less active on social media. I think sometimes it's easier to live life as an online persona than the real world. It's a false reality though. Can be quite depressing at times.
