    I'm the real deal on and off line.

    Maybe a bit more boisterous and animated off line.

    In real life I am a Jedi. But my x-wing is damaged and this funky earth atmosphere interfers with my use of the force.

    I'm very different online to how I am in person. In person I'm shy, find it hard to keep a conversation going, and am generally quite withdrawn..as sad as it sounds, I have no friends in real life (other than family members). Whereas online, I'm much better at saying what I want to say...some would say I talk to much...and I have a lot of friends online. I find it much easier to be myself online than in reality - which probably sounds stupid..but it's true!

    This is kinda how I feel too until I get to know someone then I am ME!!

    I'm pretty much the same, except I cuss like a sailor and speak my mind more. I'm also a bit more 3 dimensional in real life. har har har :tongue:

    I am the same person online as I am in RL for the most part. I sometimes seem like I am handling stress much better than I really am but that is just who I am. I have no reason to hide behind BS. Life is much too busy and demanding for me to make up another personality. lol. I love to joke around and have fun. Too much seriousness in life sometimes. I deal with very real issues with my work so it is nice to have a sense of humor. I think it is easier to be real online. I mean you are much less concerned with judgement and social rejection when people can not visualize you.

    Ok, I talk to much and now I have "typed" your eyes off... lol.

    I'm pretty much the same online as I am offline, I love having a laugh, I say exactly what I think, yup!
    I am a shy person offline with people I don't know and don't have much confidence (although losing weight helps)
    I'm secretly a 50 year old woman offline. Don't tell anybody.
    ^LOL

    I don't think there's a huge difference. Like a lot of people have said, I'm more outgoing here, I wouldn't ask some lady at the bus stop about her wieght loss, but I do it on here! It's the forum for that though. I definately cuss a lot more offline. I never say JEEZ in my reallfe!! LOL (or LOL!)

    I'm me on or offline. If my mood is quiet online then I'm that way offline.

    It's funny to read people saying they're "more real" on a Web forum, heh.

    I'm more reserved online. With an online reply, which may be longer lasting than something you say in person, I think about my responses a lot and, typically, I don't want to hurt someone's feelings too much. Other times I don't care whatsoever.

    Offline I'm only more sarcastic because tone is easier to get across. Online I'm just as sarcastic, but it's generally taken more as Pathos.

    I think it is funny to see how everyone posts that they are the same. I know for me I am totally different. I am so much more fun offline, I also worry that what I type will not be as funny as when I say it. Hats off to all of you who say that you are the same. :drinker:

    I am extremely different offline, because my friends group are a bunch of punks and skids (obviously my language that I use when I talk to them is a little different than on an online chat group with people of all ages and lifestyles!)

    Let me put it this way. If I had an online persona, I really hope I could come up with something better than a pudgy hawaiian computer nerd.
