itt how different are you online vs irl

[Her]

go

 

[moon]

I'm not.

 

[pkmin3033]

I'm a tad less eloquent and I swear a lot more. That's about it. But you can put that down to having less time to think about what I'm going to say before I say it.

 

[gimmepie]

Yeah, I'm pretty much the same personality wise. I think the only difference really is that I'm a shade more confident online than I am off.

 

[Lucid]

I'm totally this shady.

 

[maccrash]

honestly I'm not much different. I kind of pride myself on typing largely the same way I actually speak. there are obviously gonna be more fillers irl, but. overall, not too much different.

Do you carry over your hatred of capital letters to real life also?

 

[Kikaito plush]

in Real life I am very quiet but online I'm not

 

[jappo]

Not so much personality wise, but the things I talk about. Offline I talk about other things with my friends, not so much about Pokémon, and online I just fanboy about the whole franchise :P

 

[KetsuekiR]

I'm actually a lot less conserved and much more outgoing in real life than I am online. I don't know why, but I'm just so much more comfortable talking to people than I am with chatting to them.

 

[Sirfetch’d]

I am more shy irl but not much different otherwise. It'd be too hard trying to have two personalities so I just keep true to who I am both online and off :^)

 

[Esper]

Not too different. Mostly that in person I'm very bland and neutral to everyone except people I know. Here... I'm less neutral?

 

[Margot]

I have no idea actually. I think I'm pretty similar? I mean obviously I'm a bit more formal to people I don't know and tend to be more quiet, but once I get to know people I think my attitude is similar to how I am irl.

 

[Syndrome]

More or less the same

 

[Mawa]

If someone take time to know my irl, I am the same. If they only judge by the look, I am not.

 

[Spherical Ice]

I actually have a personality online, lmao.

 

[Sylphiel]

I'm a little more likely to open up about things online than I am in person. That's the biggest difference I can think of.

 

[Auticorn]

It really depends. Most of the time, I'm far more shy and withdrawn from everything offline than I am online. I'm not nearly as into socializing as I am online too. Offline, I'm extremely childish and immature, but online I have a way of seeming very mature for the special needs that I have. People often have a hard time believing I have problems online, but the same goes for offline... which is really no different there. I'm also a lot more open online than I am offline. I'm able to express myself through my typing/writing abilities online than I can with verbal/emotional expression offline.

 

[天 (Caine)]

I'm a very genuine person in real life, and I try my best to be that way online as well. Having met several of my online friends in real life, I couldn't help but feel misled by a few of them when they didn't "act" the same as they did behind behind a keyboard. It honestly felt like I was speaking to someone completely different than the person I met online.

That being said, I do understand that the internet allows people to express themselves more than they ever could online, and that's ok, but it's certainly irritating. I kind of feel like I'm being lied to at times.

 

[Astinus]

I am far more eloquent online, since typing my responses allows me time to think through what I want to say. This also means that I talk more often online. In real life, I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing to people, so I rarely say anything at all. Which means that online, I'm more open with people than I am in real life.

Though, the few times that I do talk with people, I talk way more "loose" than I do online. I tend towards slang and swearing than the way I talk on here.
