Do you think that you become someone different online?

Totally... i'm so different in person.. i'm more of the shy kind of person... i wouldn't say in real life some of the stuff that i 'type' and say online..
In real life, i'm not always as i seem here.. no matter how i appear to you.. whether joyful, always happy or pessimistic and so sad... i'm just a very ordinary girl who feels happy at times and at some other times feel blue,.. as well as someone who doesnt make sense and is unreasonable..

We all appear to be someone else who says lots of things online ,... but come to face to face meetings, we wouldn't say those things.. we wouldn't dare to say them or discuss them.. except maybe after we would have been friends for quite a long long time... that's why 90% of relationships that start online dont last.. they're doomed to fail.. cause it's not a healthy way to know a person... they can lie, appear however they want to appear... you accept what they say online more... much more than if they said it face to face.. It seems that we become open-minded when we're using the internet... Most of us anyway.. :)

I try very hard not to be !

The huge benefit of a close knit category like this one is that we all get to know each other fairly well in time & just one word out of character is usually enough for people to know our mood &/ or if we aren't our usual selves.

If we had no contact other than in this category then I would tend to agree that it would be easier to pretend that we are different to our on line persona.

I think I'm the same person...at least I try to be...although I am more bold online than I am in real life

Hey that was a fun video! Yeah, I think we change a little bit about ourselves. I try to keep it in line so I'm not out of character when I meet up with someone.

Biggest difference, I REALLY lol!

Nope
what you see if what you get
either you like it or you dont

hmm not a big difference I think its easier to say things online maybe you wouldnt say in person because you dont want to offend someone or so on... but besides that I am who I am :)

naturelover

hmmm intresting ques......well as far as i m concerned i become more of me rather than being someone else.....i think when u r online u get a platform to let other know what u really are.....

ursobustedmr

I'm a different person in that I am more willing to share things about myself because I'm never going to see these people so I'm not so worried about judegments. Other than that, I'm the same ole person. I don't fabricate facts about my life or about me personally.

gemini

No, I have no reason to pretend to be what i'm not. I'm the same on-line and off. I'm sure some people do it.

JanetB1

I am me--no one else online, in person, whatever the
situation. : }

Josie

I hope not...I think I'm the same old mess either way but I try to tell you what's in my heart sincerely, which I know is nice, not making it up... not exaggerating, only choosing the words better...
I f you met me you'd see that I am the same boring person you read here and it would be very quick to see that for sure, he, he...
The biggest difference is that here we get to think before saying our nonsense so maybe we make more sense... or not, really depends on you guys, who read it ... Thanks a lot for taking your time to do it, anyway...

NO, IM REALLY HONEST WHILE ONLINE, I WONT SAY IM A 29 YEAR OLD PLAYBOY MODEL OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT

Kumara

That song is SO hysterical!!!
I'm sure everyone does it a little bit...even unintentionally, but I try to be exactly the person I am offline when I am online!

Well of course. Even tho you shouldnt, but its when the clarification of "they just a computer, will never meet, so why not" becomes smacked with reality of "oh crap that was my boss's daughter". It gets interesting. People should still respect as humans regardless they are looking at a screen.

dee dee

No not really.

traveller

No. I'm pretty much the same in person as I am online although my cartoon picture has prettier eyes than I do.

asso

I'm here as I'm everydays.. I dont change..
I have not the necessity to do it.
If pple like as i'm, it is ok ............but if they dont like how I'm......is ok too.
I dont live for another pple...I live to feel well with myself.
