My opinions aren't any different IRL... However, I'm nowhere NEAR as confrontational IRL as I am on here.... In fact, confrontation typically makes me uncomfortable...

Definitely an altered personality. Some traits exaggerated and some I wish I had the guts to do IRL.

I assume the same about others here. Just as when we get into our cars, we see other cars on the road to the exlusion of the drivers and occupants, I think we view "people" differently on line. It's, definitely, different than looking someone in the eye and having a conversation.

I'm pretty much the same. As a matter of fact, someone in here called me a liar once about a story I told and it irked me to no end, but finally brushed it off as forum shnit. Remembering back when I got my first pc, I tried to be someone I wasn't for the anonymity...it didn't work out too well, soooo what you see is what you get with me. (withholding personal info of course!)

All the hundreds (literally) of people who started off as online friends and became r/t friends will tell you that I'm no different. I think there's a wee bit of difference - I'm a little nicer online and more direct in person but they argue the opposite. Oh well, I don't try to be what I'm not - I don't have the memory to be other than me. If you like my wit and my directness online, you'll like me irl. If not, you won't.
