Your self in real life vs on AF
#61
RE: Your self in real life vs on AF
I have been known to hold grudges in RL. For long periods of time. Someone ever causes me a huge problem, it will be extremely unlikely they would ever find themselves in the position again to disappoint me.


Gary.

The other Gary.

JohnR.

Jimmy Ro.

there would be a few more . . .

I am pretty much the exact same in real life as I am on the Internet.

I tend to be the same on both, but i think i may be a little more annoying in real life.

I'm more outspoken here which is kind of strange given my relatively low post count. Yesterday, a homeless dude waiting with me for the bus started talking at me about how God sent him the number for the shelter he was headed to for two weeks. I politely nodded and smiled and when he said, "you look like a good Christian woman" I just smiled and got on the bus. Here, I would have been a LOT more tenacious.

RE: Your self in real life vs on AF
I'd say I was more my true self online than I am IRL because I lack confidence somewhat IRL, but I am getting more and more my true self IRL just like online (For the record I've been on the internet every day (basically) for 15 years and I'm 27).

I would say because I'm more confident online (although I'm pretty much the same IRL nowadays Smile. I'm certainly getting there and I'll be identical in no time) I am more willing to be offensive or rude so I'd say I'm a little bit meaner here on AF... although hopefully barely any meaner... I hope I'm not very mean on AF or off AF.

Hahah!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Hell, I'm starting to picture you as the "I like turtles" kid in real life.

Cath, what about you matey.
Shy, quiet, polite IRL.

Once she gets to know you on a forum, the maniacal blaspheming heathen comes right out!  Shy

RE: Your self in real life vs on AF
Now I think about, I probably come off a bit colder than I would IRL, just because text doesn't carry body language. So if I'm writing a bunch of logical stuff to rebut an argument say, it can read as more "matter of fact" than it would be if I was talking in person.

I am the same, but not sure if I'm mean or nice.
