Do you act different online to how you do in real life?

[Vaskez]

Can't remember if this has been done, but if it has, not for a while so whatever...

Do you convey your real character when writing on here or are you a completely different person in real life? This is an important question I think. I think I'm a lot more honest on here. I say what I think a lot more than I do in real life - which is a good thing. In real life I have to keep quiet a lot cos I usually have strong opinions that often oppose other people's. I tend to voice it on here and not worry too much if people get pissed off. In real life I'm also a lot nicer than I am on here. You probably wouldn't believe me if you met me and I told you I was Vaskez on here . I don't have the heart to not be my nicest to people when I can see their face whereas on here everyone thinks I'm a grouchy bastard.

What about you lot?

The little I reveal of myself here at IW is the real me. IW is not a RPG after all.

kinda a hard question, since I never act the same on any given day IRL, so if I act weird on here, it is just cause I am weird, and never know for sure who I am, does that make sense?

Heh. Well when you post a lot you reveal a lot even without intending to. Guess you haven't posted enough or long enough posts or on serious enough threads if you haven't revealed much of yourself [img]smile.gif[/img]

Seeing as the only real character trait I've ever shown on Ironworks is the distressing tendency to simply drop in to topics and say something apropos of nothing... yes, I'd say I'm pretty true to life. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sort of. So your personality or at least towards the outside world depends completely on your mood and this is reflected in your posts?

[/QUOTE]kind of, I am more talkitive here, most of the time, I avoid people, out of fear of something, and it kind of runs over in here, I have a huge fear of people :/ sounds funny doesn't it? huh, I will shut up now

The Bozos of Ironworks and the one living his life is pretty much the same person. I have developed more patience and I tend to give people more lee-way here than in real life. In here I'm more tolerable(me tolerating others, not others tolerating me). But it's the same man, all in all.

Sorry to correct you but it's "tolerant"

Stormy that's not wierd - that's the same as me except in a different context. Like I said I often have to control myself in real life to avoid spouting strong opinions and to avoid upsetting people. On here I feel I have to let go as all my real life protestations are bottled up. You are doing the same. On here you are letting go of your fear. It's kinda theraputic, isn't it?

[img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]it is a little bit, but it is also very scary, lol, I mean face it, if you are afraid of people, talking to them can be hard, and it makes it worse, when yo uhave people who are mean( not in IW) that are always threatening you, and saying things like, they are gonna kill you, it really makes it worse
