When i ask this i mean do you act and think differently online and in real life.

I'm pretty sure people act different. But i wonder is it on purpose, from habit, or just cuse you can only say so much with words?


Again another "thought project" lol

I act different. It's hard to be myself in real life than here. Maybe because of the anonymity.. i dunno. :/

Yea i agree i am much more aggressive and unforgiving on here.
But this place holds my limit to how aggressive and unforgiving i can be in real life.

In my job I have a professional demeanour which is hard but focussed. I have to be in this tough, often unforgiving financial climate and when dealing with hard-nosed businessmen. And, fools. lol.

But at home with family I take on a far gentler personality.

When on the internet, like here, the anonymity of sitting behind a laptop monitor makes it hard for anyone to know how I am made to feel. That goes for anyone, of course, so we have to be mindful.

I act completely different online than I do IRL. I find it so much easier to be me, because there are so many nice people that don't judge and I feel I can atc like I want to because of them. Haha. (:

A lot of people in this community are so very nice and I love 'em for it. xD

I'm different in real life, that's true... less flirty, less curious, more polite. I don't know why.^^
But everyone who knows me a bit better than the rest would recognize me by having a look at my profile and my threads... it's hard to change your personality from red to green, even online.

Kinda.

I generally tend to voice my opinions more on the internet than I do in real life, but that's owing to the fact the people I know IRL don't care about what I think, don't wish to discuss important topics, or talk me down. Otherwise, I'm pretty much the same everywhere.

I don't see any need to fake my identity on the net.

I sorta act different. But on the other hand, i act the same. It's hard to explain.
I have to keep my mouth shut a lot of the time in real life, so I do much more acting instead. If something needs doing, I'm the one people usually enlist to do it, deal with it, fix it, and/or finish it.
However, even though I always say you should teach people to do things, rather than doing it for them, I always end up doing things for other people... often times the same damn job.

And because I'm such a nice person, I always end up doing it.

But like I said, it depends. I don't speak as much, because there's no need to (plus I never get the chance). In real life, i don't speak unless something needs to be said. Seriously. There are days when I never say anything to anyone - unless it's about food.
But on here, I just keep going on and on.

Also, I'm less confident and not acting as arrogant and haughty in real life. Not in the same way at least. I make smart-ass comments about me being amazing and all that but everyone rolls their eyes and never believes me when I say I'm far more intelligent than I lead on. Probably because I don't practice it much in real life (people tend to handle their own problems around here, so i don't get the chance).
I play it up more online and tone it down in real life. Because in real life people think I'm doing it just to lie to myself - but it's just that they've never seen me in action.

I'm much more passive in RL too. I'll put up with a lot of shit until you go to far, then you're dead. But online, I don't put up with much. Then again, i don't really get a lot of shit online.

I'm more polite in real life too. Sadly, I can't act like my real self in real life. I have to repress it, because you know, I care more about my family than anything else. Acting like my real self would only cause problems for them - it already did for my sister. I also repress it because my family has a certain image of me and I want to keep that image. I have a far more Masculine personality, I'm logical, practical, dominating, aggressive, strong, vulgar, rigid, sadistic, and competitive.
However, people know me as having a more Feminine personality like understanding, submissive, tactful, supporting, friendly, moody, helpful, like to wear pretty clothes, so on.
But really, that's just a personality I've created and have incorporated it into my far more masculine personality.
(by the way, when I say dominating and submissive, I'm talking about something different)

So, yeah, I act far more Feminine in real life as opposed to my natural more Masculine personality online.
You know, since those behaviors are partially learned (partially genetic), I think I was raised to be that way since my parents never had any sons - I sorta had to be masculine.
Because I remember, as a kid I was actually naturally feminine. For the most part. Then i turned 6 and started hanging out with my dad and my male cousins all the time...
This explains to much.


So yeah, that's about it really.

For the most part, I'm the same irl as I am online.
Though, Most people think I'm more quiet irl, but those people just aren't close friends of mine. I'm still just as opinionated, and according to some people"just as much of a bitch", I just show more respect to people's feelings irl than I do online because I have to actually see and be around these people all the time.

I think people are not the same as on line cause its a lot more easy to say anything and everything knowing that that person will never really meet you or really know who you are 100%.
I have to say I'm more open on the internet but my ideas and personality are the same (: I hate giving people false thoughts about me. I love to talk and love to write and knowing like I said befor I will probably never meet you people in real life, I'm 100% free to say anything (:
