    I'm mostly the same. The only difference is that I tend to "talk" more online because I communicate better in writing than I do verbally. Plus, I am an introvert, and online interactions with people don't register as overstimulating to my brain for some reason.

    I'm 'me', but with a few second delay, which means my phrasing is better. That makes me appear less shy (and possibly a bit wittier) than in real life.

    I'm an even bigger d*** in real life

    And I don't think the censored word is "diva".

    I'm me both on and off line. But I reckon I'm a little more outgoing online. But it's still me, I just can speak my mind more.

    Same in person as online. If I wouldn't say it to someone's face, I won't say it here either. If someone posts something I don't agree with such as a political statement, religious view, lifestyle choice, etc. I just don't comment. I have friends on my list who live in a way I never would and make choices I never would, but that's not what I focus on with them. I focus on cheering them on and encouraging them in those areas we have in common.

    I'm in my element here...I'm ether goofing off or talking about topics I'm passionate about (health and fitness). I'm introverted as well in social situations with ambiguous subjects and no activities (like say while playing a sport or watching a ball game) going on. I'm shy as can be in a bar or in a club because I don't really like it.

    I'm shy, quiet and reserved, probably because I'm insecure and maybe due to low self esteem, but, due to the false sense of anonymity the internet provides, I'm much less inhibited. I'm still me though.

    I'm a lot less shy, and much more vulgar. Working on coming out of my shell here though, so watch out.

    I don't think I am that much different in real life. My family and really good friends see the same personality you see here but with others I might be a bit more PC. It is mainly because of where I work and the some of the social events I have to attend to.

    No difference at all.

    I'm as pedantic, irritating, annoying, verbose, sarcastic, etc. online as I am in person.

    Same for me, except I have legs.

    You look good though!

    Same.


    I have no reason to fake who I am for anyone on here, or anyone in my personal life. Love me or hate me, it makes no matter to me. You get what you see.

    Iin real life if you met me, you'd probably think..who is this loser! lol...im typically a geek/nerd, very quiet...with my graphic design and art obsessed life. I am goofy, but only if i know the person well and am comfortable with them.
    its easier to talk to people online..hahah i sound so antisocial!! but i have a handful of friends in real life who are as crazy as i am so we get along furiously well :glasses:

    I'm more candid and honest about myself online though. I find it easier to open up to someone and not worry about being judged.

    Eerily identical.

    At least I hope my FL can agree - they've seen me in my element via intern tormenting youtube video.

    I wouldn't be able to speak to anyone in person w/o going into a panic attack. I'm free to be me online.

    I'm snarky in real life. I am much more positive online...spewing "great jobs!" and motivational phrases all over y'all.
