Online Personality .vs. Real Personality? - 09-26-2008, 12:16 AM

Do JF members act the same way on the internet as they would in real life?
There's some members on here with pretty 'unique' personalities and I was wondering, if I met them, would they change at all?

For me, well...I'd say I act a bit different online. I dont think anyone on here would believe me when I say I'm incredibly shy when meeting new people: I laugh nervously, smile nervously, talk quietly and go all embarrased. I doubt I come off like that when I'm on here! I also often get the feeling that I sound a bit..dumber on here, lol. Most of the time I know what I want to say, but I dont know how to say it without sounding silly...if I were talking to someone in real life, it wouldn't sound as 'weird'. So what about everyone else? Does your "online personality" reflect the way you are in real life?

Dont think there's a similar thread - there might be one lying about on the 100000th page of General Discussion and if there is, sorry!
