It seems that certain celebs such as Ellen DeGeneres and Beyonce' Knowles have a evil twin-a alter ego who does what they cannot do. They are aggressive, fearless, confident, strong, and, full of sass. Ellen's is named Sabrina, and, Beyonce's is named Sasha. Ha! I want one!
According to the PH.D, Cathy Greenburg, alter egos are an ideal way to expand into territory that feels new or uncomfortable. The best part; since alter egos are something you 'put on', it is also easy to leave behind....
Now, this is interesting because I have noticed web sites and communities which have adopted this as a theme. It is interesting because, deep inside, we all have a good and bad persona. We can interchange any time we like, but, fear from social acceptance leaves us usually leaving the evil one behind; but, if we could tap into it for resourcefulness, and, then put it back into its depths, it could be useful; think?
In a way, it is like when we were children: many of us had invisible friends, which probably was an alter ego. So, it would be like tapping into your inner child, only this time using them with purpose.... I find it fascinating...
Many people on the 'Net are using their alter egos. It is easy to detect, more than they realize. It is , however, effective and working for some of them. For others, they are not convincing enough, either due to lack of belief on their own part, or inexperience... What ever the case may be, there are lots of alter egos gracing the pages of the webs, and, some are diabolical enough to be making it...
