The Internet You vs. The Real You

Just wondering whether people think the way they come across on the board is an accurate reflection of themselves or whether there are aspects you withhold, or just dont really have a chance to show.

I only know a couple of people off here in real life, but there seems to be some difference between 'internet image' and 'real image.' lol.

It's kinda hard to tell how people perceive you on here though I guess but on my part, I probably come across as being nicer and more serious than I am in real life. haha.

You're less serious in real life. Heaps more easy going than some people would think on the basis of the board alone. But then again, you probably can be harsh on those who arent your friends if thats what you mean.

yeh i'd say im the same, i have the tendancy to fly off the handle at the litllest things like i do on here but yeh im generally the same

i feel internet personailties are showon when ppl dont put thier age / where they live or post up a pic so they can hide in thier internet persona, not always the case tho'

I'm similar. But I let a lot of things slide on the net that I wouldn't in real life.

I don't know. Only ruk has met me in real life from the board, and ever since he's met me i've changed heaps. I don't know what others percieve and what image i am potraying.
I'd like to think i'm being real, but hey who knows

The gay thing goes by my theory of:
'I can act as gay as i want, any manner i want and everybody can think whatever way they want to think of me... i know i'm not gay and that's all that matters"

The Pimp thing isn't an image i potray. I don't think i'm a pimp. I'm just really nice to the ladies. Plus they abuse and use me :D

I don't know how I act online but offline I'm never serious. Act up a lot and I'm goofy.

no one on this board is exactly how they are in life.

some hardasses are a lot softer then they appear to be and some ''nice''ppl on here are actually as assholish as they come.

I dont stay active enough on this board to ''give'' an image but I can guarantee that the ppl I actively talk too here and in general see me in a way better light.

It depends. If it's The Internet Me vs. The Real Me with friends, I'm pretty much the same, but, less serious with friends. If it's the Internet Me vs. Real Me in general, I am much more serious. But, I mean, I don't lie on here or anything. If I say something and it doesn't appear as a joke, then it's as true as it can be. But, still, I have no clue how I'm looked at on here and how others perceive me, so I honestly don't know.
