Are you the way you are here as you are in real life?

[Nochowderforyou]

hey all,

I was just smoking and brainstorming, I have come to a conclusion I present myself very differently on here than I do real life. In real life, I am a vey shy person who doesn't say a whole lot at first. I'm more of an observer. I laugh when a joke is told, and I listen, but all in all, I am pretty quiet and laid back.

On here, I find I can say a whole lot more than what's on my mind. I figure there is a much wider range of personalities to talk with on here. I can be serious, or I can bullshit about nothing.

My friends aren't like this though. They aren't deep thinkers, and when I do bring up some thoughts, they don't follow, so I don't bother anymore.

So are you potrayed the same personality on here compared to real life?

Take Care :rasta:

[higher4hockey]

I would have to say that I most definitly portray myself on here as I really am outside of cyber land...

However I am not shy..and I can see it from your perspective tooo....It is easier to talk to people on the internet....

[ericwt]

I am a straight laced business owner in real life. Very serious and to the point.

None of my friends or business associates know I smoke weed.

They would be shocked if they knew who I really am.

Here I can be who I am. A pot smoking outlaw. Life is good!

[Skink]

No diff...

[slipknotpsycho]

i pretty much stay to myself in real life... don't say much, quiet... never offer my opinion... even with that, i hardly offer my opinion even if it's asked..

i'd say so except for that part...

[Samwhore]

yeap, what you see is what you get,

I even hijack conversations

[Scarlet Sky]

me in reality=broke waitress...

me on cdot=princess...

:D

yep, i like this internet thingy! :p

Yes, and I look pretty much the same as my avatar, but without the goatee, beret and clamdigger pants, lol. I may add some of those items one day for my complete "hep cat" bohemian look.

[Psycho4Bud]

People here only get my sweet, lovable side......I'm a bit more outspoken in real life.:D

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[kiwi]

:hippy: Yes I could say that I am not as blunt online as I am in real life. I tend not to take to much of what is said in here to heart, but in reality I have been knowen to have a very sharp tounge and I am not one to back down to things. :jointsmile:

When I come online its a chance for me to get away from things, and I do try to enjoy my time in here with all my cyber-friends. :rastasmoke:

[dark0ne]

using the net is kind of a double edge sword. i would like to post more here, but i like spending time outside too. i hope you guys see me as a fun loving stoner, who likes to cook, and play music.

Yeh man all my friends are like that too....its pointless tryign to get something off your chest, or bring up a serious subject.

[delusionsofNORMALity]

though i attempt to be a bit more outspoken here i find myself falling into my real world patterns. like most people i have several different personalities that i use, depending on who i'm dealing with. i have one for business, one for friends, one for strangers, one for family and probably a few others that i'm not really aware of. i think that all of those different aspects are starting to meld together into a single online personality.


either that or the meds really are working.

[birdgirl73]

That one cracked me up! Again to the point of tears. You kill me, P4B!

I'm quieter in real life and don't say nearly as much as I tend to write here. Most people in real life think of me as fairly shy. I'm also funnier in real life because you can see my facial expressions and my eyes. I have been known to express rather wicked, humorous thoughts when they occur to me. In real life, too, I rarely find myself in a position to moderate anything.

[BizzleLuvin]

yes. tho i tend to come off as an angrier person here.

[TheAtomicPunk]

yeap, what you see is what you get,

I even hijack conversations

haha that'd be too funny IRL

I'd get pissed XD

In real life, it's not that I'm shy, it's that I focus on the friends I have (like 2?, the real friends at least, which will be 0 in a week :X), and everyone else can just fuck off. I'm not mean to anyone, but sitting in the corner of the class listening to these weirdo's conversations while listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor and wondering how someone in Junior year in highschool doesn't know something like 8x6 frustrates me for some reason. But from everyone elses prespective I'm anti-social and spend way too much time thinking about life.

im similar in that way... also i talk a lot less on here than i do in person... but otherwise basically the same... humorous because the way i talk is like extremely civilized mixed with extremely ghetto/bad grammar(not sure if that shit'll make sense ta any of u but idk)... just like real life

[Samwhore]

haha that'd be too funny IRL

I'd get pissed XD



lol, its not my friends who get mad, its the teachers:jointsmile:

teach: physical activity is different from physical fitness
me: hey, do you remember our old health teacher, obsessed with working out?
teach: sam, is this about health?
me: oh yes, she ..................................................
teach: lets try to get on topic
me: alright, anyways she........................................
teach: ENOUGH! DO THE WORK OUT OF THE BOOK! YOU TALK TO MUCH
me: well, I AM talking about health

[potsmokingnome]

I'm very shy in the real world! very shy..I don't say much unless I know the person, and I almost completely shut down verbally in big groups it sucks!

On here I still don't say too much. But I feel way more relaxed here..I'm proably borderline anti-social lol

[Cyclonite]

I'm more outspoken on the Internet...iv learned its to my benefit to keep my opinions to myself at work...as for friends I'm the same. I'm the "crazy mad scientist" to all my friends. They all come to me for advice since I'm so wise.

[napolitana869]

On here I think I'm a lot more shy. More of an observer half the time. I'm getting a little better at that though. I'm also more blunt in person and maybe even more agresive. On here I try to ignore things that would get a pretty big rise out of me in real life. I'm not one to back down from a debate about something I have a fairly strong opionion on, but here half the time I'm either too stoned to think of the words I want to use or what people have already said got me too flustered (I know I shouldnt let what people say on the internet bother me, but it does) so I just dont say anything because I dont want to come off as mean. My friends describe me as a tart when I'm stoned.

[MaryjaneAndHashley]

yeap, what you see is what you get,

I even hijack conversations

HAHA

when you talk and ur stoned can you see the post count running after each of your sentences?

[couch-potato]

I'm not bragging when I say this but...

I'm funny, intelligent, disciplined, but know how to fucking party.

At least that's what everybody around me thinks about me.

I'm in no way shy, but sometimes I don't feel like talking at all and just sit and think about life and my surroundings. I have 100% confidence in myself when meeting new people or hot girls.

[Matt the Funk]

I'm generally funnier. Also I get more emotional. But other than that I think I am pretty similiar. I act up more in real life though, nothing to really complain aabout on these boards...

[JeenYuss]

that basically describes me... but im not as modest im cocky as fuck, i run my mouth a lot, but i back up EVERYTHING i say (with one exception in my whole life) an many ppl hate me because they wanna be me (or more like me at least) i like the boards cuz in real life every1s jealous of me, on the boards im just another random stoner

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I'll say it again. Cowboy Bebop frickin rules.

I'm exactly like this in real life. Which is probably why I'm on my 4th husband, and why the previous 3 are still in love with me.

Hey, if you can't run with the big bitches, stay the fuck on the porch.;)

[JeenYuss]

the previous 3 are still in love with me.


im the same way... except its g/fs not husbands

[Purple Banana]

I am VERY like what I am on the boards, if that's a proper way of saying it?

I have my knowledges of areas, particularly health-related topics, and I suppose I give good advice?

I also have an extremely wonky side, where I have yet to find someone as bizarre as myself. But that's the case with many people!

I am loving! And I have a good reputation, both on and off the boards!

I like beating the system. I'm really REALLY good at it. Just ask my college friends ;)

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Right on. I understand the freedom of the 'net. I really do. My thing is, I might run into you (not YOU you, the general you) in real life someday. So, other than giving out info that would get me turned in to the ahthoritehhs, ;), I'll be myself.

[geonagual]

ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHH

[geonagual]

Pretty much the same. Just give out more info about who I am a lot quicker than I would in real life

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

You are a hot mess geo. What was that cacophony of vowels you just let loose?

[divestoned]

yea i bet mrs greeny is just this promiscuous in real life....you horn dog you!

dive:stoned:

[geonagual]

That was cover for a post that I did not want to post and I posted it twice. So the quick edit...What..my mind is a fuzzball.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

yea i bet mrs greeny is just this promiscuous in real life....you horn dog you!

dive:stoned:
I was promiscuous. Until I met my true love. Now, I'm just a dirty slut for him. Here, I'm just scandalous and slightly funny.

HAHA! That is the way it should be.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

:hippy:

[Reefer Rogue]

I am who I am, I need not act.

[Podge_Boro]

im exactly the same on here
i didnt used to be on other boards when i was younger
tried to fit in with the crowd

but theres no crowd to fit into here
were all different and unique
all we have is our love for mary jane

[thcbongman]

I'm pretty much the same, perhaps more twisted and shy in real life :)

[notransfer]

im the same here as in RL

[rainman69]

Im the same here but I dont shout as much ;)

[Demeter]

This is such an interesting thread, to wonder whether, because of the anonymous nature of the internet, one constructs a persona or opens to authenticity!

I can be more open in some ways- to express deeper feelings that the "everydayness" of the real world seems to prohibit. This community provides comfort and connection that the real world often lacks, at least for me.
I must also be more careful too, for obvious reasons, so that distance always exists between us. Sometimes we can meet (hi stinky!!!) but mostly we won't, and that is both sad and reassuring....I respect some people here so much that to call them anything less than real friends would be untrue:lovestruck:
So this is mostly me, "I yam what I yam" though I haven't had the nerve to post any poetry yet. But that reticence is me too I guess!

[Skink]

U got a Web cam MsG???

[Skink]

People hate my straight forwardness in real life too... I am an ass,,, I know it,,, and i can't change,,, so there...

[Antihero867]

Damn dude were pretty much the same. Im always really quit when i first meet someone but after i get to know them i sorta come out a little. But im more of myself on these boards thain i am in real life.

[ValkyrieAg]

No. Im even more kick ass in real life.:cool:

[greenman:D]

im a asshole here and a asshole in real life :D

[Skrappie]

To be honest, i feel a little more insecure here. So a bit more shy.

[Specialty Cakes]

haha that'd be too funny IRL

I'd get pissed XD

But from everyone elses prespective I'm anti-social and spend way too much time thinking about life.

I'm very much the same

in real life, I stumble over words and a lot of times have trouble expressing my ideas or my thoughts, unless I'm talking to my closest friends (which are VERY few, if any), but on here I can say exactly what I mean (for the most part) because I can write and type better than I can talk, for some reason I can't place my finger on...

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

U got a Web cam MsG???
Very funny. Actually I do, but I only use it when Papi goes out of town to keep in touch with him.

[robert42]

Im a two foot midget with no friends in real life and here..

im a six foot hunk with a six pack with no friends

:rolleyes:
