Real Life You vs Online You
 
Well sweeties, how different is your internet personality from you real life personalty? Are they exactly same, are they similar, or are they completely different?

Well as for me sweeties, it's obvious, my internet and and real life personality are...very similar. XD Online I'm a little softer, then I am in real life. I'm hyper and quirky in both online and real life. However, I'm slightly more calm online then real life. XD Online I tend to type with somewhat better grammar then I use in real life. (I talk with a lot of ghetto slang. XD) Also sweeties, I rarely call people "sweetie" in real life. XD I only call one person that... ^_^;

How about y'all sweeties?

Umm, my internet self is a bit different.
I'm more confident. Since no-one can see me.
If anyone here actually met me, I'd just be really stupidly shy. I'm very self-conscious.

I would have to say it is a bit similar.

Signomi May 21st, 2009 11:24 AM

Online, Offline...it's all the same to me. I'm not much different from the way I act outside, though I could improve as a conversationalist when I talk to people face to face, but otherwise I more or less act the same way that I do online.

devilicious May 21st, 2009 11:34 AM

I'm actually very similar.

Only, of course, I don't make people as annoyed irl because it's easy to detect sarcasm when speaking, but not when typing.

Teh Blue Charzerd May 21st, 2009 11:46 AM

i really have to say its exactly the same

ShadowLeader May 21st, 2009 12:06 PM

very similar...there only seems to be one real difference....i get more easily offended online than i do in real life.....but i think that has more to do with the fact that the person who offends me isnt facing me in real life...they are hiding in a dark room behind a computer screen laughing at me cuz they know i cant do anything....

everyone is out to get me O.o....

I Laugh at your Misfortune! May 21st, 2009 12:07 PM

My online personality is closer to the real me. IRL, I'm basically the same but much more quiet and withdrawn.

Sushi. May 21st, 2009 12:08 PM

Very similar actually when it comes to internet me, and real me. XD
I'm way more quiet in real life then I am on the internet. And I'm more a very happy person on the internet, then in real life.

processr May 21st, 2009 12:21 PM

Pretty much the same, in that I'm a cynical fellow both offline and online. I don't see any point in acting any differently online than offline.

Hagumi May 21st, 2009 12:21 PM

My internet life and my real-life are both very similar, but I'm a bit more confident on the internet. And I'm slightly shyer in real-life. But personality wise and such, I'm pretty much the same.

Simsimsimilar, why would it need to be different? If I'm pissed though I don't do smilies, and if I'm real happy I do smilies and !'s.

Amaruuk May 21st, 2009 3:55 PM

How I am on the internet is how I really am on the inside and wish I could portray myself as IRL - intelligent, wise, good with words, and much more bold and adventurous. IRL I can be adventurous, too, as I think of pretty much everything I do as an adventure of sorts, but I'm far from being bold. As I've said in another thread, the only reason I don't sound as wise IRL is because I always get flustered when I talk. Oddly, though, I'm quite good at public speaking, as it involves planning what to say, sort of like posting.

Sweet Candace May 21st, 2009 4:08 PM

Online, I way different than in real life. I'm more social here on the forums then in real life.

.inLOVE May 21st, 2009 4:15 PM

Online I'm probably a lot more nutty and I'm more hyper. IRL I'm always calm and well... I can get pretty boring.

Mobile Tsk May 21st, 2009 4:21 PM

I usually act more conservatively online than I do irl. Yeah, shocker. I poledance and make loud moaning sounds in real life.

Aurafire May 21st, 2009 4:54 PM

Wow, great question. =P

I definitely notice some differences. I'm usually a bit more literate and well spoken on PC, just because I have time to read over what I'm saying. Online interaction is also a lot different than real life, so I'd say I'm a bit more personable and friendly here on PC. Not that I'm not irl...But I interact with a lot more people on here ;D

Åzurε May 21st, 2009 5:09 PM

I'm pretty much the same case. Grammar improves over the internet for me, I guess I appear more outspoken, and IRL, I'm kinda fat. XD

The Red Chain May 21st, 2009 5:57 PM

Real life ; Fairly hyper, quiet, pessimistic.

Online ; Calmer, optimistic, talkative.

Pretty different. ^.^; Though in real life when I'm with someone I really trust I talk a lot more.

wolf May 21st, 2009 6:00 PM

Well, I am kind of hyper online, and exciting. =P Offline I am somewhat quiet (not all the time though) and calm.

dream's-epilogue May 21st, 2009 6:07 PM

Real me sucks. That's all there is to it. I'm lazy, shy, awkward, and boring.

Online, I can be perfectly social, probably because there's no pressure to give an iimediate respone. That, and it's writing rather than speaking; I consider myself a writer, so it works for me.

Am I a Dark Pikachu IRL? Who knows :P

BHwolfgang May 21st, 2009 6:11 PM

Online, my grammar, vocabulary, and maturity comes into play. However, I'm a wild Asian boi in real life. :3

Nnoitra Jiruga May 21st, 2009 6:16 PM

Online, I'm more mature and sort of...kinder. I'm more hyper online. 0_o "
In real life, I'm more seriousplz, and can be blunt. x D I'm sorta...perverted in both real life and net life > 3

Alakazam17 May 21st, 2009 6:20 PM

I'm more like myself when I'm online, actually. XD

While offline, I'm quiet, and I'm taken way too seriously. And of course, I tend not to show off who I really am. =P

But that all changes when I log onto my computer, lulz. I'm weird like that. :P

deliriouspurple May 21st, 2009 6:35 PM

They're a bit similar, I'm more mature in the real life but here not so much. In my real life, I'm a bit quiet.
