Do you think you can judge...

HOTTMESSYGIRL

Well I think their are alot of people who act like douches on this sight that problay are reel douches in real life. They all seem to gang together. I wonder if they get together in real life as well.

People put up fronts in real life, It's hard to judge anyone until you get to know them. The internet makes it even easier to put up a front, hide certain things, etc.

the internet also makes it easier to tear down the walls and to be yourself. It can go both ways.

BeautifulRedButterfly

why judge in the first place?

...
well, if theyre drama queens, then thats different

BAMFMeredith

I think it all depends on what font they use.

Or if they only type with caps lock on. I feel like I'm being shouted at!

What I've learned about people and the internet is that A TON of people don't know the difference between being blunt and honest and being an unnecessary *kitten*.

I am blunt and honest about 90% of the time. And I'm sarcastic and borderline inappropriate half the time. It's just the way I am, it's the way my entire family is.

I think a lot of times people in internet forums REALLY want to be liked and not seen as the "mean" person so they don't let their true colors show. Although for me, I let mine show all the time and I don't really worry about if people like me or not Those who do are awesome and those who don't are unimportant.

In my opinion I don't have the right to judge anyone online or otherwise! I am more than willing to listen and give advice that is ASKED for if I know anything about the subject but other than that what right would I have to judge someone else?

I bet some of them do. :flowerforyou:

I think for the most part, yes. Some people portray the person they would like to be on the internet... and if they had more self confidence, they'd actually be able to be that person IRL. And some people are exactly the same online as they are IRL, which is usually obvious by consistent behavior patterns and predictable actions.

I think the way somebody portrays him or herself online says a lot about who they are in real life. A lot of people act online the way the WISH they could in real life!

^^^ **LIKE**

I think I'm the same...whatcha see is whatcha get...actually I might be a little more shy and/or modest in person, at first

Why?

You can judge someone you meet in person, you can judge someone you meet online.

Its called being a human. Everyone wants to claim that they are non-judgemental and yet... they judge the people that are judgemental. Its a circle. Welcome to life.

That's true. Maybe I should have worded the question a little better. Do you think you can make an accurate judgment?

LADIES...there's more than enough to go around.

I feel popular today

Of course. I am sure that everyone who sees my posts automatically thinks:

You know, that girl probably is really anti-social in real life. I bet she has a special-needs child and works for a private investigator. Oh, and I am pretty sure she just split up with her husband

Obviously.

_Christine_

I’ve been judged by my mom. <pfft> You guys are easy!

angied80

I think everyone just needs to get along Some need to grow a little thicker skin... its a dog eat dog world out there.. If they cant take it on the internet, how are they going to survive in the real world?

or learn sarcasm, joking, general child's play. You only live once, why do it with a stick in your bum?

mslack01

Nope! I don't think anyone would guess what I do if I didn't tell them.

Do you not think "can I trust this person?" "do I believe what they are saying?" etc when you are talking to someone... in person or online. The location of the conversation/confrontation doesn't matter. You are still JUDGING if that person is worthy of your trust/respect/opinon.

EVERYONE forms an opinion in some manner.

LilRedRooster

Depends on the content of their posts. If they post about their profession in an unprofessional manner, then yes, you can judge their professional conduct from their online posts.

Everything else? Nope. Greatest thing about internet is the anonymity that it affords people in their interactions. People take that and run all kinds of crazy directions, but it doesn't reflect anything about them off the internet.

SwannySez

I don't think people are generally imaginative enough to create truly unique internet personas. I mean most people are not socipaths nor do they have the time to really commit to such an endeavor. They more usually just tend to emphasize some aspect of their persona and downlplay others. Not to say that there are not real live psychos out there online waiting to pounce and bleed you dry and boil a bunny in your kitchen - there are!

For me, the people I tend to gravitate toward online are generally sarcastic and witty yet pragmatic. They usually take the whole thing less seriously because...it's the itnernet. When I end up meeting them in real life they are almost inevitably exactly as they appear online.

Just like me.

I'm as annoying in real life as I am here.

EmCarroll1990

Why are u asking/ Afraid people may think you are as rude in real life as you are on the internet. @ AngieD80.... dogs dont eat dogs! You are so dumb.

It's kind of funny that you have referred to people on the "sight" being douches and yet here you come...

Destinie589

Everyone makes an initial judgment about someone whether they admit to it or not or whether they publically state it so regardless of it being ok or not or PC or not doesn’t really matter. And some people really need to grow a spine! :flowerforyou:

I love hanging out with my internet friends.

OMG, I have been screaming this for so long. Like people really want to believe that they don't judge, seriously? :indifferent:
