i was pondering that being online is a little like being drunk... it's at least true of me. offline i am quiet and shy with people i don't know. online i am bold with my opinions, something very unlike me in real life. and online i'm affectionate to friends i've known only a short while. offline i can only show affection with people i'm very close to. my pain killers kinda have this effect too...

any one else noted the similarities to being online and being drunk? or any differences between you online verses offline?

I'm much nicer in real life. But I beg anyone I meet in real time not to expose me.

I really am mostly the same in Real life that I am on here. When I first meet someone, I do tend to be really shy, and when I get to know them, I act like the person that I am online. That is really like the only differance. I skip the shy part on here, and go straight into the flirtiness. However, in real life, I wouldn't dare make the first move. Especially on another Chicky. I never know how they will take me, so I like to just lay low when it comes to that. On here, if someone is offended by my straight forwardness, I don't ever have to talk to them again. :) But With me, it's mostly what you see is what you get.... :)

Well right now I am in my nightgown, drinking my coffee. Ideally, I would always be wearing my nightgown and having a lovely beverage, so you could say that my Weal Twue self is who you see right now!

i am much the same i suppose depending on who i am talking with online...when chatting on messenger i usually have 3 or 4 conversations going because most people chat far too slowly to keep my attention! lol

now, if you were to read my collarme profile and go by that i would say most people would be sorely disappointed to meet me in person. i am 'that' person only in private and only with One. i am not looking to be submissive to everyone in the world!! lol

in public i am an outgoing friendly person who is quite confident and loves challenges! i love to dress up and be noticed (just a bit of honesty!) but i am far more relaxed and laid back with friends and family who know me well...

it is all still me though! every bit of it!

OMG, my online self is NOTHNG like my tipsy (cuz I don't get really drunk) self!

Here I am more measured in my words. Less silly and playful, but more friendly and kind also.

In person, I am often very quiet and withdrawn around people I don't like a lot. I have a low tollerance for bullshit and no real need to surround myself with people. I don't like most people very much, at least not for any length of time. BUT, with those I do like a lot, and those I love, I am very affectionate. Even if I do tend to intimidate most people. They often tend to be people that are either, very insecure or full of shit, so it's understandable. Still, I have no problem at all joking around and having fun.

I love love LOVE to laugh. Even if the joke is at my expense. I don't offend, or anger, easily. And, chances are, if I was, most people wouldn't be aware of it. I play negative stuff really close to the chest. Even deep, soul tearing, grief I could be experiencing and most around me wouldn't be aware.

Online, I just don't have any real emotional anything.

I'm kind of shy in person when first meeting people. Online, it's much easier to talk about myself because of the obvious "barrier".

As far as the rest of my demeanor and/or personality, I'd like to think that I'm the same online as I am in person. I mean, I am, I'm the same person with the same beliefs and the same feelings and convictions etc. But something is lost in the tone that I "speak" in online, as I suppose it is for everyone to some extent.

I guess the most accurate descriptions would be those that others have perceived of me. And what I hear a lot from people that I've known online then spoken to on the phone and/or met in person, is that online I come off as aloof, tight-assed, and unapproachable. A couple of people have even said I seem intimidating (which I can't even begin to fathom, because I'm about as intimidating in person as a church mouse.) But in voice and in person they seem to find the polar opposite to be true. Of the people who I've met offline, a lot have told me that they were surprised to find that I'm laid-back, extremely warm, and very easy to be around, which I think describes me accurately. So I guess I come off way differently here than in person.

hmmmmmmm

with the people I'm comfortable around I'm pretty much the same as I am on here :) however it's changing and I'm becoming more like..me to outsiders as well (be it a good change or not I don't know, at least I haven't gotten many complaints yet :) ) so it depends.
Some people I'm immediately comfortable with and they see the real me right away so they probably wouldn't notice a change between the online/offline me. For some people it takes more time to see the real me and some people never get to see the real me so I don't really know how to answer this question.
I guess the bottomline is that to those I'm completely comfortable and relaxed with I'm exactly the same on- and offline.

I'm pretty much the same here as off line. I think maybe I can be more sarcastic/smartass offline, though, because here I know it doesnt always translate well through this medium.

eta: the drunk bit: well, since I've usually got a nice buzz going when I'm posting late at night.. WYSIWYG LOL

For the most part I'm the same online as I am off line. In person I would be considered shy at first but when I'm comfortable with a person, I'm pretty silly and fun... by golly, I'm just an all around nice guy urm I mean girl.

People have told me I am refreshing in real life because I am identical to who I am online.
If I don't like you here, I won't offline. If I do, well I will unless you show me some other side of you offline.

Oh yes, definately. I'm very much like you, offline I'm shy and quiet until I've known you for awhile and then my fun, outgoing side comes out. Online...I'm open, silly, and goofy from day one usually. I wonder sometimes if I feel I can be myself online and not offline.

I am probably a bit more reserved IRL.....although, once I am comfortable, I am the same both on and off line.
