How much does your online persona reflect the way you are in real life?

I don't know. When my other self comes home, I will ask him and let you know what he says.'

Very similar, i try to make people laugh in real life too.
I'm more gentle in forums, in real life i'm a bit more of a jackass.

Fairly similar. I'm the funny guy that's a nice person. For me it's hard to play as "bad guys" in WPRG. Only KOTOR and KOTOR2 were fun as fuck as Sith but felt so bad in 1 when you go full crazy maniac killing all your friends.
 
virtually the same, stark and stoic is the name of the game (if you can manage both with a kind heart, all the better)

i follow my dad's teachings the best i can
 
The only kind of persona that I have on here is my avatar. It may shock you to discover that's not actually me, it's the legendary Travis Fimmel as Ragnar Lothbrok :messenger_horns:

Since the day my account was activated, I've just been me. The bad & the good & the really stupid. I couldn't tell a bunch of fake stories & make myself out to be something I'm not. That's lame as fuck.
 
It's just me, and I'm really proud of that, that I've been able to really do well here, just being myself.

However, some aspects are increased. I am a little more willing to be completely silly, or to nerd out ridiculously, embarrassingly hard.

But that's due to how comfortable Gaf makes me feel. Real life feels a bit more judgey, whereas everyone just wants to have fun or talk about cool things here.
 
I feel like alot of shit i hear on here, i absolutely wouldn't hear from the mouth of some of these people IRL

so i'd imagine, "not very much" for many users.

I always make a habit of not drifting too much from what i'd say IRL, so i guess wysiwyg

I think the same but I often struggle to explain my ideas and ideals and whatever in spoken form. I don't think my image helps giving me any kind of credibility too, so I often see myself struggling with confidence and wanting to get out of any place where I'm in the spotlight. I just don't like real attention, I don't like people looking at me. I don't get self conscious online.
 
real life has its issues, i adhere to experiment as the sole judge of truth in everything

you either like being around that guy or you don't, my experience is most put up with that type until their suppositions are checked and wrecked
 
very different online you are anonymous & can say stupid/dumb sh!t, but in real life, you gotta put on a mask and watch your every move. I don't understand why people would give up their anonymity online. I guess to get paid, but it makes being online a lot less fun/enjoyable.
 
This online fursona is a nice venting mechanism. I'm pretty different in real life. I'm a big, gentle giant who literally won't even swat a fly.

i see it the other way, people who run that life are basically fracturing their psyche and destroying their soul

far be it from me to judge, that's been my experience with friends over the years that run alts and the like

Nah, I would tell you to go fuck yourself to your face
 
Pretty much the same , maybe a bit more understated when it comes to political views in real life to not cause too much drama, but if people ask not afraid to say.
 
It really depends on how much one cares to disclose. Social media addicts (more so the Facebook, Instagram, etc SM) tend to disclose too much oftimes. It's funny when you know a bloke in person who's quiet and reserved; then, shifts to all-out extrovert online. I feel both are the same person but the medium reflects how much one will disclose. I remember using Yahoo messenger in the early 2000's and feeling more open to project thoughts and ideas than in person. My online persona is much more vocal than my actual person (which is passive and all that).
 
In person i'm quiet and introverted. People suck the less i have to interact with them the better. <3

Era is enough for my social fix.

Generally the same.

Although I don't talk about politics at work. Not because I'm scared, but in real life I'm against procrastination.

In real life people respect me, look up to me, and see me as the example to follow (in some ways). But they are also a little afraid of me and realize I am out of touch with the modern age. They like me like that... if I changed it would upset them. I can't think of anyone who wishes I acted different except maybe move closer to where they are.

On the internet... well shit I dunno probably the opposite of all that.
 
What you see is what you get with me, which usually tends to lead to me feeling so offended and hurt when I get picked on or mocked, even online. I don't try to be something I'm not. I say what's on my mind for better or worse.
 
I am thou, thou art I. My online persona is me. It would be a lot like an upload of me if that was ever a thing. The words I type are often times my direct thoughts.
 
Much more introverted irl, though I tend to have a bit of a trolly and dry humor bone. I'm also annoyingly sarcastic irl.
