I can completely understand it. I look up on TFP as a kind of an inner sanctum, where I am what I am with no apologies or explainations. I actually got to a point where I regretted inviting some people, because, well, I realized I could be freer here with those bonds interfering.
It also made me realize I should stop hiding some of these aspect of my personality, if they didn't like it, they can leave!
But in other areas of my life I am something of an authority figure, and I would be loathe to lose that persona, that presentation to the appropriate people in my life.
To be honest, I know nothing of Facebook. Have not yet had the time to investigate it. But I do think this is an interesting conundrum.
