    Same, but thinking I should change it up and become a super power or something cool. *runs off looking around frantically for a cape*

    IRL I am much more perverted and blunt. Online I lie to sit back and watch the drama happen.

    MORE perverted??? :noway:

    I'm pretty close to the same. A little quiet at first. But I'm much snarkier and more of a potty mouth when I'm not following forum rules. :devil:

    I'm shy in real life until I get to know the person and then they wish I was my shy self. On other sites/ IRL I'm my normal perverted, b*tch self, but on here I'm a bit more reserved. (Give me a little bit and I might be as bad as Binary. :ohwell: )

    I'm the same online as I am in real life. Love me or hate me, I really don't give a *kitten*! That is all.

    I think my in real life personality matches my online personality. I might be a little more outgoing online, but once I get to know someone, I open up.

    I'm pretty much the same sarcastic, *****y, pain in the *kitten* both online and IRL.
  • Which personality are we talking about here, I have several.... I am who I am I guess. I act on this site as I do among my friends and family. The real me.

    I'm probably a lot more shy offline than online. Then again, some might say i keep to myself online as well, who knows. It depends on situations i suppose. :smile:

    <<Closet introvert. Online allows you that extra second or two to come up with a wittier response, so I think I come across better with more processing time.

    I'm pretty quiet. anxious,. introverted. Takes me a long time to open up with new people.

    I am more outgoing online I think , I wouldn't say I am shy in real life i'm just a little quiet to begin with.

    I lack confidence in the real world...sometimes I wished I did a bit more online...you know like maybe I could vet my thoughts a little before I say them online? I swear a lot more in real life...think that comes with being a Cornish farmer type ;)

    I would say that I am pretty much the same here...................I like to be silly, tease and be a sarcastic ****hole IRL.

    I am a bit different. On-line is very easy to chat and say things I wouldn't normally say in person. I am shy at first but once people get to know me I can be what I am like on-line.

    I'm a lot more witty and fun online. I'm almost painfully introverted in real life (unless I'm drunk).

    If you are first meeting me I will be really shy and really quiet until I warm up to you - but once I know you... you better watch out I am out going.. never shut up and am really sarcastic and obnoxious... sometimes I wonder why some of my real life friends keep me around lol


    I find it easier to not be as shy online because no one can see me make an *kitten* of myself, I can take my time to write a response and I don't stumble over my words or look at my feet.

    This is me as well. :happy:

    I would say I'm pretty much the same! I can be shy and quiet at times in real life...but for the most part...I think I portray who I really am! Its too hard to lead a double life! LOL

    Nope what you read is what you get in person or over the phone...I must say that I have met quite a few of my pals and they are were they seemed with a little exception... I never imagined that I would be really close to people I have never seen before or some even talked to on the phone..Its possible....

    I'm a hermit in real life because I generally hate most people. However, when I do buck up the stones to be social, the cursing, the humour and the laughing at inappropriate things/times remains the same.

    Yep. This is how I am as well.

    I've been told I'm the same online than I am offline, meaning I'm an *kitten* that no one should be friends with.

    That is different!!! I am the same person here as I am in person for sure. What you see and hear here is what you get in person or on the phone!! I am me and that is all there is to it!! LOL

    Pretty much the same. Just as random and sarcastic in real life. I'm just as much the observer and a pain in the *kitten* to get to know too. :laugh:
