Hiding Ourselves Online

I rarely talk about my Cerebral Palsy online, mainly because I don’t see it as "relevant" information on here. I think the reason why I chose a career path that involved the web, is mainly due to the fact that I can be whoever I want to be online. I don’t mention it on social networks because usually there is no way you are going to see people personally from the online world in reality.

I am not denying that people should not be curious. I have lived with this long enough to know that if I walk in public, people are going to glance. But some days you just want a day off. And that’s where the internet comes in.I can be who I truly am, without succumbing to social pressures. It levels out the playing field.

I don’t try to be someone else online, I just try to be treated normally online. Something I have with a very select group of people in reality. Hopefully these things will change in the future, until then I shall find comfort in the fact that ignorance is bliss.
