Comment on We should be able to legally have a different name just for work for better work/life separation
FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 1 day agoIn my opinion, Batman’s true identity is Batman and Bruce Wayne is the disguise, but for most heroes their personal name is their true self and the superhero is the disguise

Also true for Superman. He can’t change who he is, a superhero. However, he can disguise himself as Clark Kent.
But back to the original question. If you’re Robin at work and Samantha at home, which one is the secret identity?

In my opinion, the name you use at home would be your true self and the name you use at work would be the disguise because most people put on a professional persona at work and don’t behave naturally. It woukd ultimately depend on the individual though, some people might feel more like their true selves at work than outside work
