Do you take on a different personality when on the net?

I'm pretty much the same, just a little quieter and more reserved in person until I get to know you. Same sense of humor and personality quirks--just a little more pronounced online.0

I become more me when online. I find it easier to call out *kitten* when I hear it online. But also I find it easier to style my ideal self when online. I think the bottom line is to have compassion in everything I do - writing online or talking face-to-face.0

I am pretty much exactly the same, but I am a little more reserved with the things I say online than I am in real life.0

I'm more mild-mannered and more careful with my words online.... in RL I have more of a fiery temper although I try not to have.... and depending on who I'm with, I'm more sarcastic in RL.... but only with people who get London/British kind of social interacting, where taking the blatant p*** out of your friends is a form of social bonding and if your mates all started being really formal and polite with you instead of taking the p*** you'd be extremely worried and want to know what you did that upset them *THAT* much.0

No, I believe in being yourself no matter what.
Being false only intensifies low self worth to me because your living a lie.
It depends on your personality and self esteem though, some people feel more stronger behind their screens. And if that works for them, then fine.
I wouldn't agree. you can be who you really are, or have "no filter" on the internet without much repercussion and avoid burning bridges of trade. I'm in a position in which I strategically have to maintain certain company, and their acquaintance is advantageous to me. My self worth is through the roof, otherwise I wouldn't be able to so.
I agree with you, Huggy. It's not being fake or hiding when you're online. It all depends on the company and where you are. I've learned the very hard way that I can't be brash online and people often misread my words. I also can't read body language from words, alone.0 -
I find expressing myself in writing to be much easier than having a conversation many times, so in that respect perhaps. However, I tend to be very honest about what I think regardless, tactful, but honest.0

Fair point in that respect, I think my comment was based on people who have to 'over do' there ego or personality aimed purely at there need to feel "self worth"0 -

I agree you have to be reserved in things you say online.0 -

^This. It can be difficult to convey tones such as sarcasm, mocking, playfulness, sincerity, etc. online. I truly feel bad if I offend someone and I am legitimately in the wrong. It is easier to avoid those misunderstandings IRL when I have tone of voice and facial expressions at my disposal.0 -
I use fewer gifs in real life. Apart from that I'm exactly the same

Exactly!!! Body language speaks volumes and people don't know that I'm a very sardonic person online, other then when I say I am. My words in my sarcastic self can be misread as me being a total *****. I'd rather not have to explain every word I make online.0 -
i am pretty much the same person.0
-
I'm different online. I'm very reserved and shy in real life. I have trouble being in rooms with lots of people. Online, I feel I can be me and I open up so much more.0
-
Are you more outgoing when online, almost to the point of being the polar opposite of yourself in public?
I'm more careful about editing myself online. You know what they say: Don't say or do anything online you wouldn't want to see on the front page of the newspaper (or homepage).0 -
if they keep interrupting you it's because they don't respect you. only thing to do is alpha up and pee on their shoes. that'll teach'em :drinker:0
-
How I am on here is how I would be if I knew you in real life. However, odds are if I were to cross paths with any of you in the real world I doubt you'd notice. I'm a lot more reserved in person.0
-
I'm more myself online because I can hide behind a computer screen.
I'm shy in person, but my real personality once you get to know me is similar to the one I have on here.
Did I forget to send you that picture of me in my Hooters shirt? Let me get on that, buddy!0 -
I am a lot more shy and quiet in person..0
