[nicoga3000]

I'm pretty much identical to my online persona. I see no real reason to try and act like someone I'm not on a message board.

 

[blame space]

"I'm LMAOing at your life."

 

[Cow Mengde]

More or less. Kind of hard to convey how calm and indifferent I am on the internet though. Not to say I'm always calm and indifferent offline either.

 

[Trouble]

I'm not even the same person at work and at home.

 

[blame space]

I'm not even sure I'm a person.

 

[legacyzero]

Yes, I fear Bish's wrath in real life as well.

 

[DyTonic]

I talk more shit online..

 

[EloquentM]

Pretty much. I'm birth ridiculous in reality and in real life.

 

[Franklinator]

I'm the same. I make bad posts in real life, too.

 

[lastflowers]

yes and no.

I act online more like I'm around a lot of my friends. I get really nervous meeting people for the first time in person, so I tend to be more quiet and reserved. When I get to know them a little better, or a new person is with some of my friends--then I'll go goofy like normal. Lots of light trolling.

Message boards are different, tend to bring out the more reserved side.

 

[vidcons]

i am true to myself whomever that is

 

[NathanMcMahon]

yes, I'm the same

 

[vidcons]

but yeah, i'm really into talking about my poop and pornstars irl

 

[inm8num2]

Yes, but online I feel more comfortable. Online is who I really am. In person I use chameleon techniques to slightly adjust to different people or situations.

 

[DominoKid]

Not even close. I'm way more reserved online than IRL.

 

[Joqu]

I'm more of a dick IRL and quiet too but you wouldn't be able to notice the latter anyway. Other than that I'm pretty much the same, I think.

 

[arab]

ABSO LUTELY

 

[Etrian Oddity]

Not at all.

 

[vidcons]

i'm actaully really smart but i just play an idiot online to defamiliarize people from the normalities of how gross our culture really is. i hope to highlight these problems amongst the priviliged and change society.

 

[ronito]

Essentially actually.

 

[Harpuia]

I stumble upon my words IRL and that translates very well into my constant editing of posts and missing words in text!

 

[Foffy]

I am. No reason to bullshit on acting as if I'm one person here and another there.

 

[Ryaaan14]

I'm WAYYYYYYYYYYY nicer IRL

 

[SolidsnackooFoxhound]

I'm really really shy in real life and goofy over the internet.

 

[MilesWebber]

I play dumb online because it promotes better discussion sometimes. Lots of Devil's Advicate stuff.

Eh, pretty much the same.

 

[Ace Harding]

I'm pretty much the same, maybe a little less quick to debate someone, but that's the nature of communicating with strangers over the internet.

I also talk about video games a lot more online than IRL.

 

[anarckitty]

Not even close. I'm way more reserved online than IRL.

Totally agree. Especially on GAF. Don't want to get perma-banned.

 

[Marleyman]

I am more reserved in the real world.

 

[Beardz]

I'm more trollish in "real life" but I can say, I'm the same, so yeah.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

I'm pretty consistent. I'm very truthful here on GAF, for better or worse

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Yes.

Spoiler

No, of course not. Who would be so dense?

 

[secretanchitman]

yep.

 

[Kisaya]

I've been told that I'm the same but I think I'm a whole lot shyer :s

 

[Herne]

I think so, yes. Though I'm much less inclined to talk to strangers irl.

 

[User 100115]

I'm a bit more open online than I am IRL. But other than that, pretty much the same.

 

[Riggs]

OP
Smokes ... now

 

[Sniper McBlaze]

Yup. Just the bigot version of myself.

 

[FyreWulff]

You have to be. You're just the same person reacting to a different set of circumstances.

 

[bud23]

No way, I would be banned in seconds. I´m a good boy on the Internet.

 

[Boss Riovane]

The same person IRL as I am online. I cuss a lot in both areas.

Personally I think people are giving in to base desires and shit they wouldn't do IRL they think they can get away with it online. But if you are happy and content with who you are you will mostly get people who are the same on and offline. But thats just my opinion.

 

[Servbot24]

I'm a bit more assertive online, that's the only difference though.

 

[RibMan]

Yes. The only notable difference is my willingness to share information online vs offline.

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

Depends what website I'm posting on. I've come across as an asshole many times on GAF despite being nice in real life.

I'm trying to work on that.

 

[Jitters]

I would say I'm a little different.

 

[Conciliator]

I'm a bit more dismissive/sarcastic online I guess.

 

[cheststrongwell]

I'm a raging asshole in online games. It's fun to be someone you're not for a few hours a week.

I tried the asshole routine here. Didn't last long.

 

[thezerofire]

not yet, but I'm working on it. I'm much more genuine online
