As much as I want to say I am fundamentally different while online, I cannot. Essentially I am the same old shy guy I am online.

Though I will freely admit, online I feel more comfortable expressing myself and I have plenty of time to think about how I'm going to express it. (Though...even despite all that, sometimes I still botch things up and say them the wrong way..)

In real life, I'm really introverted. I cant help it either. x3 I'm just a really shy guy until you get to know me.

Even online, I can be really shy and a bit evasive. I just cant help myself y'know. I hate being shy so much...x3
Internet ; Childish, playful, extremely kind, very silly, wouldn't hurt anyone, easy-going, sugar coater.

Real life ; Easily angered, also childish, extremely sadistic, can be pretty rude, judgmental, honest.

That about sums it up. XD
What's the use of pretending to be someone you aren't?

Most people aren't pretending to be someone else, it just sort of happens naturally on the internet.
Probably because of the lack of face to face contact, and being able to think very carefully before 'speaking'.
It's a neat thing it is~

On the Internet I'm just an average person, but I have a little more emotion compared to real life.
In real life I hate talking unnecessarily. I'm not like others, who speak nonsense just to stop feeling awkward when they're with friends.

I don't believe in myself! I believe in my Pokemon who believe in me!!!

Nowadays, there's not much difference, but a few years ago, we were practically opposites, to the point that I actually saw myself as having dual personalities.

I've always preferred the way I acted online as opposed to offline, so I tend to try to behave like my online self in real life - I am my own role model.

The only real difference is that online, I have more time to think, and it's easy to look things up so that I have enough knowledge to discuss whatever subject happens to pop up Therefore, I tend to say quite a lot more online about subjects I do not really know much about, and my language tends to be more eloquent and correct when writing. However, this is not really a major difference in personality, simply in circumstances.
