    So how does your Online personality differ from your real life one?
     
    Yes, I am much more of a jerk online.

    Edit: I also have speech problems aswell. I cant explain very well, I can on the internet, texting, anything like that but when I speak it, it becomes all jumbled. One time I forgot the word 'thing'. I was saying "pers..hous..apa.." words like that until I actually said the word "thing" :|
     
    Mine does, but only slightly. I am a bit more tolerant of others' BS on the net. But other than that, I am basically myself.

    I don't really know if this counts as a personality thing, but I also have some speech problems (like stuttering) in real life.
     
    Not by much, but I tend to speak my mind more online than I do in real life.
     
    Not at all. I'm the exact same person online as I am in "Real-life."

    :D
     
    People tend to let their guard down online because it's easier to do online, there isn't the threat always of real life consequences and what not. When people don't feel as though they have to hide or hold back, they sometimes reveal parts of themselves they wouldn't show in the real world. :3

    Mmm... its pretty much the same. Not that good with new people at first, but when I'm with my friends I can't stop talking. Really playful in both IRL and online, if that's what you call it.
     
    I'm not putting on an act or playing a character so to speak, if that's what you meant. I'm the same me online and offline. Just...

    A little more free online. The illusion of being protected by the screen and just feeling more comfortable communicating through type to people I don't know than a face-to-face meeting lets me be a little more open than I normally would.
     
    I talk about violence and gore IRL a lot more often. Otherwise I am pretty much exactly the same.

    I'm a bit more shy IRL, and also being online allows me not to have to experience tip of the tongue syndrome. XD;
     
    I'm shyer in real life, and I have some speech troubles in real life. I forget to speak when I should, and I stutter every now and then from lack of constant talking.

    Despite this, when it comes to talking with friends I know in real life on twitter, myspace, or text message, I'm the same way I am online; open, talkative, and probably more humorous then I normally am.
     
    I talk louder online. >:D

    No, really, I just tend to.. speak my mind more, when I can type out what I want to say, and make sure I want to say it. I also tend to make friends easier, because my brain just doesn't think fast enough to think of a witty reply, when online I can give it a couple extra seconds. I'm sure this would apply to texting, too, but I'm too poor to have a cellphone. ;_;
     
    I think I hold back in real life more than I do on PC. I mean if I insult someone on here, what're they gonna do? They don't know who I am, they can't hurt me. But in the real world you have to have a filter because you never know how someone might react.
     
    I'm more spontaneous and I speak my mind more.
    Which I think makes me seem like a jerk since you can't hear the tone of my voice and you can end up taking what I say either way.
