I tend to have a number of alter egos. Myself (for girlfriend), party animal (for friends), jerk (for my mother who is mean to me...), Perfect Student (for school...though I've started to let that slide since the teachers know about me smoking, drinking and my bisexuality now) and Gaming Geek (for online and my gamer friends). All of those kind of mesh together pretty well and its not a conscious switch...it just happens.

Well here I go by my real name because hackers tend to overlook this site. Generally my opinions are truly voiced when "Escaping".

On Xbox, I am Backroom Six, who has little friends and fell in love with another person on xbox, the stupid bastard.

Oh 4chan, I post Anonymously due to laziness and I partake in Role playing threads on /b/. I refuse to name who I am on those threads due to embarrassment and for my safety.

Probably yes. At home, I'm a cynical old sod with a sardonic sense of humour and a habit of saying exactly what I think. However at work (Where I have to deal directly with the customers), Its yes sir, three bags full sir, and anything else I can do for you sir. My thoughts usually varying between "Way to go retard" and "Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, my cat could have displayed more intellectual prowess than your farcical incompetence"
I think another reason I hate going anywhere is because it seems like people think its their God given right to act like total loud-mouthed obnoxious jackasses in public and belittle/talk down to the people who are trying their best to help them out. I'd like to know what the hell happened to manners and civility when it comes to personal conduct in public, because by damned, it seems like no one can say 'please' or 'thank you' anymore.

I don't exactly have an alter ego, but at night I don't act the same as during the day. Daytime I am usually calm and easygoing, but at night I become easily aggravated, a bit violent and pessimistic. Don't know why, but that's how it is.
I can't remember what they called this specifically; there is a name for this. It has something to do with the amount of Vitamin D absorbed by the body from the sun and its relation to the chemical balance in the brain. In the early stages of dementia, its called 'Sundowners Syndrome'. Some people seemed more confused and agitated after the sun goes down.

...One for friends where I'm sarcastic, brutally honest and straight to the point (which is why I don't have many friends).
Ohhh... THAT'S why I don't have many close friends... and here all this time I thought it was the garlic....

I'm glad you threw in the last part; you were starting to worry me. All that niceness and goody-goodness can't be in EVERY aspect of your life; it fucks up the Feng Shui for the rest of us jaded misanthropic bastards.

Maybe I'm mean; but this DID make me laugh. Just because I find that 'love' [lust] takes normal functioning rational people and turns them into mental mushheads.

I can't role play in those online threads to save my life. I don't even try. In a way, I envy those who can. My style of roleplay depends too heavily upon my voice acting and being able to look at the people I'm RP'ing with as to what to do next. For some reason, if I can't hear my voice for RP'ing, it makes me think I'm just role-playing myself.

It's something like that, but I am not confused or agitated... I really can't explain it. The best I can say is that I become violent. When I walk my dog I wish that someone would attack me so I could destroy them as "self-defence". If anyone would give me any reason to attack them, I would instantly take it. And it's a problem as I am physically capable of seriously injuring someone.

And I doubt its dementia, as I am <25 years old.

Those are generally quite normal thoughts to have upto a point, i'm the same in that I give myself reasons to be tense and protective when i'm with one person or just my dogs regardless of the time of day. A fairly large chunk of me justifying my own personality has been carved out of the idea of being tall and broad and protective and blunt about all of these things with myself and other people.
It probably comes down to feeling slightly insecure or wanting to prove yourself as a man (not that you can't do that many times before), or maybe people just like being a little angry so that they can be the good guy and some unknown can play out as the bad one. I'm a little wary of my amateur psychology though so don't read too much into that xd.

While it may be true that some people have a literal chemical balance in the brain shift from Vitamin D I think that's an overreaction, the same as I think most of the people trying to relate to the OP are just trying to define themselves in different social situations.

There's a lot of cultural, historical and biological emphasis on the night for everybody already so I highly doubt there's any medical or mental condition behind it, but like all things it needs to be in moderation and quite easily go from natural to problematic.

This seems like a really good idea. I'm going to craft another persona now.. I presume it's like setting up a new email address.
