Maybe the biggest difference between real-life-me and virtual-me is that in person I’m totallt shy, while I’m not so on the Internet…

Chris, if I met you in person I think you would be surprised by my personality, but happy that you could have peace and quiet most of the time… at least until I got comfortable around you

Pfft, same goes for you :P

BTW fish, those arrow thingies don’t show up right in my IE. =[

They use the :before thingys in CSS which aren’t supported by Internet Explorer :(

I think if you are confident in yourself and true to how you feel, then there is no need to create a false surrounding in any situation.

I agree that sometimes it is easier to create a different persona in order to express yourself or hide what you really think, but at the end of the day, you can't change who you really are. :) I think if you are confident in yourself and true to how you feel, then there is no need to create a false surrounding in any situation.

Only differences is online I'm quieter and more professional. Offline I talk alot and get wierd and twice as goofy as I do online. I do agree with you Chris. Most people are somebody totally different than they are online. I got a few friends I knew from high school and online they are totally different than they are when offline.

I have a very little social life in my face-to-face life. There are a few people I talk to outside of my home, but usually only if I am approached. People online probably hate me for how much I talk and how blunt, and sometimes rude :P, I am. In person, outside of my family, I would rarely talk to anyone, let alone tell them what I am thinking. Chris, if I met you in person I think you would be surprised by my personality, but happy that you could have peace and quiet most of the time... at least until I got comfortable around you :P I am somewhat like Dane.

I'm much more open and talkative on the internet as compared to my real life. In my real life, I go to school, usually sit alone in school for all 7 hours of the day because no one really cares who I am or what I say, and then I come home and open up to everyone on the internet. Although there is a selective "firewall", some of my most personal things I dont tell anyone on the internet, and the people that do talk to me at school dont even know that I have internet. They're seperate worlds. I agree with your post so much Chris. I’m much more open and talkative on the internet as compared to my real life.

Actually, I say a lot of myself on my blog. Usually, the only things I omit are those involving other people, because I don't if they'd like to be "featured" on my blog.
