Is your personality in this forum the same with the one in real life?

[D_Portelay Porquesword]

Pretty much the same or so I am told. ;-)

 

[earllogjam]

I'm much dumber IRL.

 

[midlifebear]

I harder to see in real life.

 

[willow78]

No and yes. Let me explain.....

No: I'm actually quite shy, sensitive and reserved. Some of the thoughts, feelings, experiences, opinions and messages I've posted on this site have been very personal - things I could NEVER share with someone I know in real life. Being anonymous (apart from a few face pics) and being able to hide behind a computer screen has allowed me to be uninhibited and completely honest with people.

Yes: In my time here, I have made some deep, close connections with a couple of members. If I met them in real life, I would feel comfortable enough to be myself because I have already shared a lot of myself with them. That said, however, if I ever went to an LPSG 'meet-up', I'd still be a little bit shy to start off with. But not as shy as I am with non-LPSG people.

I'm just wondering, because I found various types of people in this forum and most of you guys have been great, wise, and funny. In real life, are you the same, or are you less funny, for example? Or are you even funnier?

After re-reading the original post, I realize I completely misunderstood the whole thread concept. Oh well.....

To answer lopo2000, I think I'm pretty much the same - my LPSG jokes are just as terrible as my real-life jokes! Although here it's mostly one-liners. In real life, I can be very sarcastic (a skill I'm quite proud of) but sarcasm doesn't always translate well in text-form so I don't really use it here. The few times I have tried it, have bombed - once quite spectacularly (well, to me, at least).....

I'm me. I don't try to project some sort of image of myself onto this place or on the internet in general, but like in every situation (be it social or on the internet), I show a particular side of myself here that I don't show in other situations. Not consciously, though.

 

[luka82]

Totally off topic!
But where the fuck is Lopo???:frown1:

 

[B_subgirrl]

I'm much the same here as in RL, but in RL I don't talk about sex so much.

 

[flame boy]

I'm pretty much the same, much to the annoyance/disappointment of those I have met :wink:

 

[thestrangeness]

pretty much the same... cept im 3 dimensional ... * giggles* okay yes i know that was a corny joke but it made me giggle so its all good.... *giggles*

 

[LaFemme]

I don't really know how I come across here....I do know that I don't make up an online persona. I'm far too lazy and am a really bad liar and would never be able to keep things straight.

At a fake award thing at work, I was voted the person people would most like to travel with. I'm known for being fun. I'm easy going, patient, tolerant, funny and really smart. I'm also known for being wildly inappropriate at times and a bit sexual (oh, if only they knew....). So maybe I am the same.

 

[MsThang]

My personality is the same in respect to speaking my mind. However, I don't let on to my sexual appetites which I think most people keep well hidden from co-workers and family. They don't need to know that I like big cocks.

 

[august86]

Pretty much the same too, except if you don't know me, I might seem introverted because, much to people's surprise, I'm comfortable with silence.

Friends have described me as someone who's asexual; heart was replaced with a pump, and who's tear ducts have been surgically removed because my personality is a mixture of House, Bones, Sue Sylveser and Meryl Streep's character from the Devil wears Prada. I apparently also give logically sound advice that humans just can't follow- blame it on the Virgo. They know me so well :biggrin1:

Oh, and did I mention I can be a smart ass too...

 

[HiddenLacey]

I'm the same. The only thing that probably doesn't come across in my posts is that I'm pretty much always smiling and I don't talk about some of the same subjects I've discussed here.

 

[ManofThunder]

I am myself at all times, although I am slightly more reserved in real-life. But once you get to know me - I'm just the same.

 

[helgaleena]

I am the same. But all of me does not show on the Internet, and never will.

 

[Endued]

About the same, but I get time to filter out the bad jokes when typing. Be grateful.

 

[JustAsking]

I am not as much of an impulsive hothead as you see here on these forums.

 

[IntoxicatingToxin]

I'm far more outgoing in RL I think. I'm more reserved online because a lot of people don't know me very well. I'm not shy really, I just don't like being loud and goofy around strangers. I'm also more reserved online because I don't think my style of humor transfers well via the web.

 

[joyboytoy79]

I'm a total bitch in real life. Come to think of it, i'm a total bitch here, too. So, yeah, i guess I'm about the same here as in real life.

 

[Countryguy63]

I'm a total bitch lover :hug:
