how different are you offline than online

I'm secretly a 50 year old woman offline. Don't tell anybody.

Knew it

I too am exactly the same on and offline!!

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 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!)

Yeah I'm not the same...I have a hard time formulating my thoughts in real life...I'm the type of person that likes to think before I speak, but in person you don't have time to do that. I like to write things down to organize my thoughts and edit what I'm saying so I can get the point across without misunderstanding. When I just blurt things out in life, someone usually gets mad, I'm just being honest but it hurts people's feelings. I don't have tough enough skin to open my mouth anymore. I just listen and watch people make the same idiot decisions over and over. Online I can let you have it, you want to b!tch, well I'll give you something to b!tch about lol...I still blush, and I still get offended, but my confrontational skills are way better online.

The same 100% of the time. I'm just me!

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.

^^ lol ^^

Sounds like a lot of us are 'dirtier' in person! LOL

you'd have to ask my boyfriend. i think i'm the same...once you get to know me. i can be kinda (deceivingly) quiet at first...unless i'm drinking :drinker:

Binary is exactly the same except you should see his muscles IRL

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.

Funny.

I'm sarcastic as hell online and in person.

I'm not much different in person than I am online, but I think I'm perceived differently. I'm concise when I speak, and I'm often sarcastic, which sometimes doesn't come across well in type. It's why I overuse smileys -- I want people to understand my tone and not take me the wrong way. It's annoying, but I don't know how else to get my point across.

i think i'm myself online and offline.

funny, sarcastic, sometimes cynical, and probably the coolest person ever.

I don't really like to think about offline and online being something totally different. I love technology as it allows me to meet all of you wonderful people that otherwise I wouldn't have ever met in real life as we say. :flowerforyou: In person, I've always been shy, quiet spirited....I'm a great listener as I've been told. I take my time becoming close friends with people in life, but online it seems to go a little faster (probably because you can drop them if they get too weird or creepy). :laugh: I stay at home alot now so my adult to adult communication ratio is low as I'm home with a 5 yr old everyday all day. I like to laugh and have a good time. So with all that said, I feel like I try to be myself as much as possible online or off. :happy:

I'm the same online and off.
