My person would like to share a little experiance in regard of people active on internet, hidding face, identify, wait and desire privat conversations, using multible accounts...
And it's not about making people down or cause additional worry, at all but the opposite.
Such is always related with Sila wish causes a certain fear or desire to stay not traced and is, like common in the world, total not uncommon, touches many and it happens fast, that if not having such obiviously adopted by oneself, that one not secure, easu falls into such. Such sickness from tendencies of action based on wrong view is very common in this realm which generally. My person will continue on it a little later.
[Q+A] What is the karmic reason for shyness, what is it's cause? might be a general starter.
Since the higher Dhamma, taught in the west and modern times, very freely to all kinds of minds, and gives fastly the idea of no-self, this sickness is very, very common in the realm of internet under "Buddhists", lay or ordained, and gives users possibilities to act more freely. No personallity, no danger from effects of causes. Or not seen by the authorities, what could happen to me...
Not always is it based on strong tendency and often a recogniced sickness by the sick in search for release.
The potential, as told already, is only overcome by one who has reached the path. But it's not so that one strongly standing to his identity, even clear that causes effects fall back on one, is free from such dangers. So a gerneralisation in regard of potencial wouldn't be valid.
How ever, strangers cause normally more feeling of mistrust which isn't very supportive for a person seeking release from possible wrong shame, "simply" being an effect of previous actions and not knowing the way of release in the present and for the future.
