Internet You vs Life You

[Neo-Scholastic]

I'm a pompous ass in real life too. But I don't wear the wig.

I hate that.

Almost as much as I hate people who cut the shoulder on the right and try to merge in front of me illegally.

Pretty much the same in real life as I am on the internet; cynical and angry but always trying to calm my tits and be reasonable when possible. Though I am much more forward and direct online than I am in real life; in real life I tend to avoid conflict altogether regardless whether it's verbal or physical. I can communicate in written word much better than I can in spoken word [always been too quiet and awkward anyway], so in person I rarely bother trying.

I really have no clue. It would be interesting to be somebody else in my life for maybe a month. Thereby, I'd have some idea how I come across. I suspect the two personas are very similar. I'm shy. I try too hard at times, but yet I hate others that try too hard. I wish I fit in better, both IRL and on the net.

I think in real life I tend to be less afraid to get angry. On the net, I'm slightly scared of rocking the forum boat (any forum, not just this one), and get the banhammer.

Very interesting thread.

You know, I fear those types of guys more than the types of guys who look more threatening.
If you don't look much, but you still act as though you're badass, you're probably one.
Hard learned lesson.
