Anyone feel different on the internet?

[TrashMan]

I communicate over the internet because meeting me in RL would overwhelm you. The shining light radiating from me might blind you, the awesome aura of my presence would force you to your knees in reverence. You could do nothing but be lost in my magnificence, becoming my faithful servant forever.

I'm an **** in both real life and the internet. I just hide it better in real life to avoid drama.

Typical Canadian.

Well... I'm not quite sure how to say this... but I don't remember the last time masturbated without internet pr0n. So... I guess I **** more while I'm on the 'net. So that's definitely different feeling.

 

Not that I'm masturbating now or anything, because I'm not.

I'm way more aggressive and angry in the Internet than I'm in real life, I think its partly because people tend to show much less respect and display an annoying amount of unnecessary cynicism everywhere compared to real life conversations, also lack of body language is bad too.

If people behaved like that in face to face conversations it would end in smashed faces in 8 from 10 cases.

 

I vastly prefer face to face chats over telephone calls or discussions in forums, those are more productive and usually people don't end up calling each other scumbags and whatnot. When I visit a forum I'm already expecting to see trolls, stupid crap and generally rude individuals so I'm pissed off right away.

Just an FYI. Your favourite son will betray you.

DAMMIT MAGNUS!

I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ON THIS LINE!!

...

You really messed up my groove...among other things.

Hold on, I'm sending your brother over. The one you called a "wolf-obsessed barbarian". He wants a word with you.

I smell nicer in real life.

 

What do you smell like on the internet?

I can say, without hyperbole, that you really don't want to know.

[WildWild-Horses]

In real life i'm an awkward shut in.

But on the internet, i'm a true hotshot.

I don't go by Guard Dog in real life. Other than that what you see here is what you get there.

It's so nice sometimes meeting people that, regardless how many things you have the same or different views on, would still like to meet and have a beer or 3 with

The only thing that I find lacking in RL, is the ability to communicate via meme's and gifs.

Likewise brother! You've seen a lot of the world, I know you've got stories to tell.

Real life = Super nice

Internet = Very blunt


I cannot stomache upsetting people. I'm just not good at it, so when someone's ****ing up, I tend to not say a word. If you wanna know when I'm criticizing you, it's when I'm not speaking and answering with "mmmhmm" and trying to avoid eye contact. (cause I'm also a bad liar)

But I've always had respect for people that speak their minds. Which is nicer: lying to a friend about their terrible singing or telling them the brutally honest truth about how bad it is? I'm a big fan of the truth, I just can't handle upsetting people very well.

   Here though, this is the internet. I'm both shielded from their reactions and I assume people are like me and don't take things people on the internet say to heart. Thus, I speak my mind and I'm incredibly straightforward.

I know this thread is a little old but it's interesting and I wasn't here so ...

 

Face to face I tend to use a lot more casual expletives and I'm usually ... semi-laconic?...not long-winded. I have occasional bursts of semi-hyper chattiness, but it's not common. Probably give off an air of being constantly mentally distracted. I'm not shy but I'm not quick of witticism and often just have "nothing to that needs to be said."

 

On the internet, I tend to be long-winded and a bit more chatty. For some reason typing means I completely lose the ability to be concise. And I'm much more formal/cuss almost never, in text. That would be the biggest difference. My cousin-in-law once wrote me an email and when I replied, said I sounded/acted very different in that format to what she was used to in-person.
