I'm not an actress. I'm at most a service worker. My stream persona is just me but making an effort to stay positive and not go nonverbal. I play a better version of myself. And yet it is me as well. It does not feel like acting. The horns protruding from my head for those hours are as real as anything else about me
Perhaps the stream persona allows for your real self to be expressed more than your physical persona? like how people show who they really are when they have anonymity
