Do Have Many Personalities?
 
Dp you act differently online then you do offline? The online basically is an RPG, even though it's "real life". Most people don't act how they do in real life. Nobody goes around saying "LOL" or "BRB". Nobody calls you by your screen.

Online, it's mostly my ego, TRIFORCE89, doing the talking. TRIFORCE89 is my Zelda obsessive nature to the extreme. TRIFORCE89 is my loud, boastful, arrogant self, the complete opposite of me offline. Though I slip into "TRIFORCE89 mode" alot when offline.

Offline, I'm *insert TRIFORCE89's real name here*; the quite, shy, untalkative person. But that's generalized... At school I act stupid. And that's beginning to annoy me. I'm much smarter then I lead on and I think some of my friends believe I'm an idiot. Like just today, I tried looking for a book that was in my hands. At home I'm my "true" self I supposse. Smart, quite, Zelda obsessed.

Do you have other personalities?

ScArLetSkye June 3rd, 2004 11:57 AM

Let's see.... Well, sorta. The same as you, I'm shy and quiet at schoool, but me here is a different story.:P Maybe it's 'cause no one can see my face.XD

Kairi June 3rd, 2004 1:44 PM

When playing NB I say that could of stuff outloud, well not “lol” but stuff like n00b and pwned. @[email protected] If anything I use lol as a way to denote silliness or sarcasm, so my messages don’t seem too serious. Lol (Had to do that)

My personality seems to adapt to whoever I’m around, so I’ve got quite a few. I dunno which one is real! I’d like to think I’m more open, fair, and mature online, and I like this personality.
You don’t own one of those Miku (is that his name? The Zora Link gets the mask of) guitars like Miyamoto has do you? XD On a side note, I despised the water dungeon in MM. I don't think OoT or MQ's is as hard.

TRIFORCE89 June 3rd, 2004 2:13 PM

Kairi - You were close. It's Mikau. You missed the "a". And no, I don't have one. I don't collect Zelda merchandise and I don't know how to play the guitar, so it would be useless to me.

Anyway...what's "NB"?

Chairman Kaga June 3rd, 2004 2:14 PM

I don't really have a personality, actually...I'm the most boring person you could ever meet in real life. I try to act the same as other people I'm around, but I really have never been able to fit into any sort of personality description...

*Pat pat* I hear ya, dude.. ^^;

Anyways, I'm pretty much the same in offline just as I am online. @@; The first minute I'm happy, and the next minute I'm yelling cus I'm having a bad day. Typical moody me. @@;;

*dies*

Kairi June 3rd, 2004 2:33 PM

Oh, netbattle. You battle Pokémon online; sorry should have made that clearer. And hey, not bad on my part! I only played it once, and that was back when it came out. @[email protected];

It’s actually weird—before PC and as a precursor PSO (I’m trying to use a fancy word ech day, or at least one I don’t use~) I didn’t have much of a personality being highly antisocial. I’ve developed as I watched others around me, I dunno how I’d do in big social groups really.

*nods*
Mmm-hmm.
That's pretty much how I am! I'm very shy at school, but I'm a maniac at my house and on PC hehe.....
Sometimes I wonder what people would think if I started acting at school like I do here!

*~Ashley~* June 3rd, 2004 2:52 PM

I don't think I act that much different online and off. Only I appear quiet and shy offline to most people... only because I only talk when I have something to say! Which doesn't happen constantly. I may not be the most outgoing person in the world... but I do talk. And when I talk... I never shut up! I tend to ramble on a lot... I do that here too I guess! I mean, look at the size of my posts...

I guess online I seem to be more outgoing because I have more to say. If I have something to reply to I will. Same goes for real life... just it's more noticable in school when I don't talk as much. People tend to get the idea that I don't talk... which is totally untrue! I talk... a lot... if only they gave me the chance to!

*snerk* That was hilarious. X3 X3 X3

I've probably got about a million personalities. :O I mean, I've got several for online just by itself. It all depends on how much caffeine I've had. (Speaking of which... *holds up Coke~* <3~~!) For instance, right now, I'm my hyper-online self. Not too different from my offline self, except I make less typos. Yes, you CAN make typos offline. I normally call them "speakos." It's when you mess up your words and say something you didn't mean to say. ^_^ So anyway, after that is my normal online self. Her mood fluctuates depending on what's going on. That's why I'll post in one topic and seem kinda hyper, but the next topic I post in I'll be completely serious. (Although I almost always use smilies or "lol" and the like to dismiss some of the seriousness.) The last one is the one I'm in when I have to concentrate... which is serious all the time. There are probably more, but I can't think of them right now~

IRL I kinda... flip all over the place. o_O;; Maybe it's just 'cause I'm a teenager, but I can switch pretty fast. XP Like, I'll be doing absolutely nothing in English class, and 5 minutes later I'm quietly taking a test in french (and acing it~). Then I'll have lunch and be all... just weird. o.o; Like, I'll complain about being hungry, get really hyper, complain about having a crappy lunch, start bugging people (*points to T89* ^^;;), and then I'll finish and be really lazy - too lazy to get up and put my stuff away, so I always have to rush to 3rd period. I get really moody at home too, especially when talking to my mom about having to do chores and other annoying things (like getting off the computer). o.o; And then I talk and role-play with myself when I'm alone sometimes for some reason. o_O; Not now, though, since I'm too lazy to get out of this chair. X3333 Um. Yeah. I think I've lost the jist of this topic and I'm scaring you all, so I'll shut up.

*wants to read this topic and record it onto the computer~* :O!!

Kairi June 3rd, 2004 2:56 PM

It’s easier to talk online I guess since that’s all it is—no tone of voice, no appearance, just the thoughts. Nice but it has its challenges such as conveying emotion…still, it’s a great gift! I think kids these days get both good and bad influences from the internet that, on the positive side might help them flush out thoughts they normally would have never communicated.

Kayleigh June 3rd, 2004 3:03 PM

Well, I'm not extremely different in real life than I am online. I guess the only difference is that I'm much more shy, atleast around strangers. On PC, I'm very open and I blab about almost anything, but in real life I'm a little more reserved and calm. ^_^; ...Didn't expect that, huh? Lol.

Yeah well... thats basically opposite for me... I'm nuts at school, but at home, i usually keep to myself, unless I'm with friends.

Real Life: Shy and quiet alot, get annoyed easy when I'm like that. When I'm with friends I'm alot more immature I guess.. and sometimes perverted... just a different kinda weird.

Internet: Alot more mature and expressive... like now! Though when I talk to my closest friends on the internet through AIM, I'm much like in r/l, fowl-mouthed, weird little sucker... Alot of times on the internet I rotate between a quiet, dark, mysterious guy, and a complete idiotic spazzzzz.

Evil Togepi June 4th, 2004 2:27 AM

Offline I'm really shy and quiet, I find it hard to express opinions and I don't feel comfertable around new people. Although sometimes my online personality sneaks in but that's mostly around people I know.

Online I am still a tiny bit shy a still a bit hard to express some opinions but not as much as offline. I'm a LOT more confident online and my personality can be quite hyper sometimes, depends on my mood, it's that hyperness I can only show to people I know extemly well offline.

I tend to see my online life more like a real life one...with having friends on here that I can talk about anime and such with I don't feel as lonely online as I do off sometimes.

aaaaaa June 4th, 2004 2:46 AM

I'm about exactly the same online as offline.
I'm me, ya know? I can't change who I am, so I just accept that.

Angel of Chaos June 4th, 2004 3:57 AM

Well online I talk alot, am happy, energetic and all that stuff.
But offline I'm usually quite and snappish to annoying, evil peoples. O.o I prefer to be alone offline - do not ask why, please. x_X

aRedMoon June 4th, 2004 10:04 AM

Hmmm, offline I'm a lot quieter than I am online. And I'm not quite as "nice" offline either... hence the reason of my loner state. ~_~

Dusty Pikachu June 4th, 2004 10:28 AM

Lol, you? Not nice? Who woulda thought ;p
Well, i am as crazy offline as i am on...and..erm..I am also, i guess, a little quieter, i dunno =O

Legendary_Pokegirl June 4th, 2004 11:14 AM

Im very quiet at school, but when Im home I am loud and outgoing.

^^NICK^^ v.3.0 June 4th, 2004 11:15 AM

Nope, I'm pretty much the same. Except I never talk about Pokemon at school...I am nice most of the time, until someone says saomething rude, and then I argue. Oh, how I love to argue!

Eliana June 4th, 2004 11:24 AM

Indeed, I find that a lot of nice people can be found on the internet, and it has helped me become a bit more social in school. Anyways...

In the real world, I am not those kind of people who can carry a conversation with a person for a long period of time, I am more of a "small talk" person, as I like to keep conversations nice and short (unless I am in a heated debate with someone, which I only ever do if someone says something that I feel I must reply to). Although, I am only like that when I am in school, when I am at my house I am actually even crazier then when I am on PC! Oo' I would rather not explain, as some of the things I do are quite odd, but let's just say that my mother is comtemplating if I am sane or not (even though I got my crazy side from her). XD

On PC, I find that I am quite good at talking, I seem to be able to talk to any one who mentions something that I am interested in, without being afraid to speak up. I have also made a lot of friends on PC, so there is more evidence that I am a lot more social on the net. =P

bhrit June 4th, 2004 12:16 PM

I think so. Well I don't really pay atetion to my writeing.

Timbjerr June 4th, 2004 1:06 PM

I am the same person online and offline. I just don't talk about pokémon half as much offline than I do online (of course). I think I have PC to credit for helping me equilize between my offline self and my online self. I used to be really shy offline due to my substantially less than perfect physical appearance, and my wierd speech impedimented voice. Inversely, my online self was my ideal self. If any of you were around when I first joined PC in Dec. of 2002, you may note that I often cussed in my posts and said quite a few other ban-worthy things (mainly about sexuality). Thanks to the non-judgemental people of PC, I gained confidence with myself when I was pressured into posting my pic and later my voice at the old PC and they didn't say ,"you suck tmbjr, get out of here!" With this confidence, I was able to become more outgoing offine.

I now have the same persona online and offline, even though it isn't the best persona to have, it is still cool. I'm just that silly guy who is much smarter than he chooses to let off. XD
