| Maybe it's due to my lack of originality in coming up with names that mine actually gives away my location. So ... isn't that even worse safety-wise? =P |
| My screen name is based off my real name anyways. Not sure if I want to be called Martin or MC though... >.> |

| Because either way you are wearing a mask |
| For a few reasons I guess. 1. My real name and last name sound very weird in english. 2. Probably the same reason I don't put myself on my avatar is because of distrust towards strangers on the internet. I'm not one of those people who feel very comfortable on social media, I'm acually the opposite. I'm not ashamed of my name, body or face since I'm a bodybuilder and get a lot of compliments, but I still refuse to my pictureon my facebook page (everyone always why I don't have one). I feel anxious from the thought that anyone could be using you without you even knowing it. |
Violence_muse said: Because either way you are wearing a mask It honestly doesn't matter if you are using a screen name or not. If someone wants to find you, they will find you. Any personal info you post can and will be used by someone to find you. |
| Screen names are a way to express individuality, creativity, and originality. Or the opposite if you prefer a username like Sasuke588 or tree_branch86. I don't dislike my birth name, but it was imposed on me before I existed. "Stephen" doesn't even begin go to describe my interests. |

| I use my real name only on Facebook and skype, everywhere else I have a nickname to hide behind :s |
