I'm much more "myself" online, and unfortunately for you guys, it means that I'm LESS social and more of a smart-a*s. Ah, the security that comes with anonymity~

Lilithium · 2008-07-30, 07:52

Hehehe, um, I am much more quiet offline. Although, if you didn't act like a creep, we would probably get along well.

Nemu · 2008-07-30, 19:39

I'm the same, I am just more shy offline.

emotionless_teenage · 2008-07-31, 08:08

it is just the same for me,online or offline
perhaps the only difference is i do use english language A LOT when i am online

blueinuyasha · 2008-07-31, 22:24

im the same online or offline only im not as loud offline even though i do speak my mind offline i dont do it as much as online other then that im the same

xia · 2008-08-01, 00:34

I am louder, a bit quicker to judge (even though I try to stay level headed), and I can be really harsh

GreatTeacherKen · 2008-08-01, 02:44

I'm very different on line than I am in real life. I think I express myself better on line because I have time to think carefully about what I want to say. I have difficulty thinking fast.

Plus, I tend to be very quiet in person. I can communicate with people normally but I generally prefer to talk less.

zebra · 2008-08-01, 03:07

I'm pretty much the same, since I don't think before I write. And I also don't think before I speak

But since the facial expression and emphasis is missing, people take me too seriously most of the time or think of me as a pretty serious person xD People always seem different in the internet then when you meet. I think I would hate my best friend with a passion if I only knew her online

Same goes with a lot of my friends or people I met after getting to know them online.
I also think that, if I roam around english sites my limited ability to use the english language distorts my character additionally. Since I can't transport the way I speak in my native language just like that ^^

I don't act different conciously, but NO ONE is exactly the same on the net imo, at least they don't seem to be. An avatar isn't a good replacement for a face after all

Cold~as~Ice · 2012-06-09, 11:11

people say i'm very cocky and a little bit of an oddball in person. while online people Say i'm normal and don't say much

Endless Soul · 2012-06-09, 11:22

Holy thread resurrection, Batman!

Actually, I'm a lot more talkative online. Offline, I'm much more of a listener, with the occasional wise crack thrown in here an there.

Kaihan · 2012-06-09, 11:25

There was a thread like this? Kinda talk a lot online than offline. Gets worse at night that half the stuff I say to my friends online are what I regard as gibberish and a lot of youtube links.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA · 2012-06-09, 13:12

Erm, I don't think I am much different in real life. I talk a lot, sarcastic, sharp tongue, make lame jokes, cruel sense of humour.............

Tempester · 2012-06-09, 13:40

Offline, I'm just a quiet, non-confrontational guy who barely talks to anyone. Online, I'm often a blunt and condescending cad whom some people want to punch through the screen. If you couldn't tell already, I don't have a rosy social life. This is not a way of life I plan to continue on.

And of course, there are certain things that I take a fancy to that I disclose online (including on this forum), but I will almost never mention these offline. This account is something I want to keep to my grave if I can.

mystogan · 2012-06-09, 15:14

when i'm online i feel more open and free because i find writing more easier to express myself rather than talking directly, online i am myself

Offline, i am not a very socialising person, i make few friends but i make the best ones, i am more of a silent type

DonQuigleone · 2012-06-09, 15:17

I'm ... basically the same.

There are some limitations to online, which make me a bit different. For instance in a forum, I write long detailed replies, whereas in person, I would allow for more replies.

Same here... except for the need to speak English.... I'm silent to strangers but a bit talkative when with friends. Double it when we talk about anime. I usually talk in my own language than any other language.

90% of my English everyday is spoken (rather typed) in the forums online...

Divini · 2012-06-10, 00:23

My demeanor and communication style is pretty much the same.

However, I do sound better on a forum medium because I have time to use the right words. I tend to fumble a few times when I have to convey certain thoughts on the fly.

On the flipside, I don't maek typoes offlien.

Vexx · 2012-06-10, 16:18

Hmmm, wonder why I ignored this the first round back in 2008? Any way.... I'd just say what you see online is a *subset* of my overall self.

As far as speech versus written? I tend to write somewhat like I speak. The only difference is that while I tend to construct complex sentences, I'll temporarily forget nouns (e.g. "the thing for cleaning clothes is done.... um..... oh, the washer!").

TinyRedLeaf · 2012-06-10, 16:36

I'll leave it to the people who have met me off-line to describe how different I am in real life. I don't believe I can give a complete answer otherwise.

I would like to think there is little to no difference, but how I perceive myself would naturally be different from how others perceive me. I do, perhaps, "speak" more cogently online than I do in person. And I rely a lot more on references while online than in real life, meaning that while I'm aware of a whole lot of trivia, I don't remember much of the exact details of each specific topic. So, I tend to fudge more often in person than when I'm online.

Depending on the situation and who I meet in the 3-D world, I'm either a lot more outspoken and sporting in real life, or more reserved and serious.

And I may or may not act my age.
