Are you the same in person as online? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

yorkiemalt · 10-22-2008, 03:36 PM

definitely the same! what you read is what you get in person!

winstonw · 10-22-2008, 03:43 PM

I think I am probably about the same online as Real Life. I do like the "medium" also

giving you time to think about your answer and how to word (although some of those fast paced lightning rounds on game threads leave no time for dilly dallying).....hehe- dilly dallying .....whippersnapper like vocab

I think Im the same and have been told Im the same.

I crack myself up online and crack myself up in real life too!

Mom of 3 · 10-22-2008, 04:09 PM

Oh I am definitely the same. I think I have problems saying on line what I am really feeling, especially when it's something sad. I can read something about someone losing their pet, or someone having surgery, etc and I feel for that person. My heart really goes out to them. I just often wonder if the person I am sending it to, really understands how I feel. (I hope this is making sense)

I do the same when I get a card for someone. I search and search until I find the right one, with the exact words I want to say to that person. LOL !

Same. I tell it how it is online and in person. I HATE people who hide behind a username to act all big and bad to others online.

I'd like to think I'm the same online as in real life, but I'm probably not. I know in real life I've become easily irritated by what I consider stupid and I tend to pop off whereas I don't online for fear of being banned. People in real life think I'm *itchy and sarcastic.

Who knows...it's hard to say how I preceive myself when I know others see me differently.

ILUVSADIE · 10-22-2008, 08:23 PM

I have a really great sense of humor and generally keep my coworkers and friends laughing out loud. I definitely don't think that my sense of humor comes through online.
BOO HOO!!!!!

jp4m2 · 10-23-2008, 09:51 AM

I'm a bit different.......

I'm generally quiet until I get comfortable in a room then I tend to get sarcastic with a sprinkle of crudeness.....I tend to catch people off guard because they don't expect it from me.....

I've had to hold back many times from saying or posting something online that might be a no-no....

C101Yorkie · 10-23-2008, 10:54 AM

I'm much much more talkative online. I'm a very very very shy person. I don't know why, I just seem more comfortable online than in person.

Ashley V · 10-23-2008, 11:17 AM

I'm more outgoing online. I'm shy in person and I don't talk a whole lot, unless you are just one of those people that make me feel comfortable. My verbal abilities just aren't that good and I can't explain things well with my mouth. Writing is just easier for me.

Smarty Bones · 10-23-2008, 11:25 AM

the different smiley icons have made it much more easy for me to put my "true self" online. in person, i'm told i make funny faces and smile a lot.

Izzy Princess · 10-23-2008, 11:33 AM

Hahaha...hmmm..I would say I am the same on line as well as in person. Quite a few YTers have met me and I would hope they say the same!!

But I would agree with others..I am younger on line.
