I'm pretty much the same guy on and offline, 'though I've put in a lot of effort to keeping the nerd in me hidden around non-nerds.
Ha ha, yes definately this...

I have about three nerd friends and even they don't use this forum. If my musician friends realised how much of a nerd I really was, I wouldn't be considered cool enough to be a front man anymore that's for sure...

It even feels like my online personality is closer to my real personality than my offline one is. It's not that I'm afraid to be myself, I just know most people don't care about the same stuff I do so I know what not to talk about...

This goes double for girls... Triple for when dealing with the slightly out of your league good looking ones...
I think I'm somewhat the same, although less introverted around the opposite sex. I can be myself around others, it's just I choose to be someone people think I am.

Weird how social life affects all that isn't it?

I'm an insouciant prick no matter which way you slice it :)

Yeah, I'm a writer, so as a result of one summer long ago where I spent every day writing and did very little of the whole 'contact with the outside world' thing I now talk exactly how I write...basically as a smartass.

To answer your question, everyone here is a shy little tosser in real life and an asshole online.

You're welcome.
If someone only acts like an asshole online, it doesn't make them any less of a tosser in real life... They don't even have the balls to own up to it so I don't see the point in it at all...

I have to act differently online because in "real" life (we're all in the matrix, which runs on windows) i can gte out of a sticky situation by mumbling and hoping someone heard what they wanted to hear, you cant do that online (as far as i know).

I act the same way online as I do in real life. I have no reason not to, and I don't hide behind a false sense of anonymity that people think the internet provides.

I've got a thin layer of Liquid Crystal and several miles of copper between me and them online. IRL, I've got a T-shirt and a hat. I think that makes all the difference.

I'm more boring offline, ironically. And I'm more insecure offline. But my way of saying my opinions and behaving is essentially the same.

I'm a prick online and offline, I'm just more loveable when you see my face.

In real life, I wear make-up and go shopping and talk about clothes and make-up and shopping, but online I'm somewhat more intelligent, maybe?

None of my friends play video games and look down on me for it, maybe one or two but nothing major. On the internet, Escapist precisely, I feel somewhat humble or maybe pleased to be able to chat to other gamers and such... Ya? get me? n.n

I'm usually a little goofier online.
Mostly just because I actually have hope someone might get my jokes online, whereas here a joke has gone over pretty well if I only have to explain it once.

Well, I mostly don't involve myself in online arguments.. The complete opposite of how I act 'offline'. Because I learned a long time ago that arguing on the internet is pointless.

And also: sometimes I feel posting your opinion on the internet is just another grain of sand that gets added to an endless desert called the internet. No one notices, reacts, or cares about what you think.

Its not so much whether I'm online or offline but who I'm with. So of my friends get my twisted sense of humor, others think I'm a retarded psycho. I try to act "normal" with those others

I seem to be scary in RL, less online.
or maybe I'm just misunderstood...

I'm more of a bastard offline.
He's right y'know.

Anyway, I'm a random twat offline, and a slightly more witty twat online. Add to that Asperger's Syndrome, long hair and the glaringly undeniable fact I'm a furry, and, well, it's not exactly a recipe for popularity.

I act pretty much the same offline. But the way I am online is as if I know you all really well and you were all good, close friends. I wouldn't post, otherwise. If you all were people I knew in real life, I wouldn't talk to you or trust any of you. The internet helps me bypass that.
