IRL personality vs. internet personality

#1

How does your real life personality differ from your online personality?

Online I’m ultra argumentative talk shit in games and very often not polite or friendly to people I take a disliking to. coughDotardcough IRL, I am almost unconditionally friendly and polite. I am very argumentative in real life too, but I keep it in check because whenever an argument arises I get swarmed by idiots hollering non sequiturs and not letting me get my two cents in. I act very social when forced into social situations such as school, but I generally try to avoid social occasions, especially large groups.

#2

I’m the same in IRL as here but here I’m actually more controlled on here because I have more time to think.

Puts on flame suit

#3

So this is you controlling your stupid?

I like to think the way I act on these forums is like someone with multiple personalities seeing as this account is used by more than one person.

(but don’t tell anyone it’s a secret)

#4

I am the same on this board as I am in real life.

#5

It is, but I am entirely capable of having a professional conversation when the time comes around.

#6

I’m a lot more passive and much less of a dick in real life. The internet just brings out the best in me I guess.

#8

I’m such a nice person online, but I’m a huge dick in real life

IRL I spy on my neighbors.
Online I spy on my neighbors.

So…

#11

Any way, bms makes me do such stupid things, because no one know who you are.

#12

A bit of a dick?

#13

A bit.

#14

No difference for me. Don’t see why I should act differently on the net, anyway.

#15

IRL: Silent, depressed, Norwegian
Internet: Active troll, suck at English

#16

No difference for me.

I’ve always though if you feel the need to act like a twat online, you should probably take a closer look at your personality…

#17

I’m a pretty silent person IRL

#18

I’m a big faggot that doesn’t like anyone, but IRL I’m just gorgeous

#19

I don’t think that ‘troll’ means what you think it means.

The word you are looking for is ‘retard’.
