Real personalities, are you the real "you" here?

[Talthyr Malkaviel]

Well, I'm the same person here and in r/l, but online I'm more me than in r/l, whether it be my true personality or a mask, unless that is my personality.
Make of that what you will. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Maybe if in real life you could see what you are about to say before to "hit" the send button we'd all be a little different!

That's a good point. Although I think that I have a sort of mental submit button in my head lol. Online I often think rude things about posts but don't comment, offline I do the same. I don't tend to be argumentative in real life except with people I'm very close to, and I'm the same online; I'll think something but not say anything. Later I might regret it but what can you do? People I chat with know I'm always up for a good stoush, but on the forum less so because I'm not so close to everyone here. Plus both online and offline I work better one-on-one than with a lot of people coming from all sides. So I'm pretty much the same online as offline [img]smile.gif[/img]

I am a little less abrasive online than I am IRL, but that is just because sarcasm doesnt do well in text alone.

I am as real in person as I can be. Frankly I don't see the need to disguise myself to be more "interesting" or something else (no pun intended).

I guess I'm the lone person on IW who is very different here than in real life. In real life I'm very, very shy. The kind of person who doesn't usually speak unless spoken too. I do have a job that requires me to spend a lot of time with the public but I'm always greatful for my quiet time when it's all said and done. I'm much more open with people here than I am in person. In real life I seldom let people know anything about me, like the fact that I'm shy. [img]smile.gif[/img]

In all honesty I am slightly more flamboyant in the forums. For the one reason that I have the time to stop and think out my response, or I can just fly off the handle and not have to fear a face to face rebutle. When it really comes down to it I'm just a good-looking 18yr. old with the life outlook of a kid.

[The Ornery One]

I've only met a couple of people in r/l that I met on-line. One wasn't as nice as he seemed on-line or over the phone, the other one is even nicer than he is on-line. As for myself, I still hold back until I get more familiar with people but am a little wilder when I'm playing on-line cribbage. Even if I seem quiet to most people when first getting to know each other, they eventually learn how preverted and strange I really can be.
