Nevermind, compared to some of the people on this forum I'm Mother Teresa.

I'm a very sarcastic person.


Yeah, I made this into a post! Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

I am a passionate person in real life and on the internet. In real life however, I am much less misunderstood, and a fun loving guy who is all about living and laughing as much as possible.

Both online and in real life I don't like ADTOE.

There was a time where I liked to post here more than to go out. Thank God those days are over; but I still love you.

I'm exactly the same. Most of the people on here who have met me would agree.... :D

Real me is also too quiet and shy, but I think online me is pretty damn annoying. I don't know which me is better :X

I can be quiet in person until I get to know you. I'm quicker to warm up to people online and maybe a little bit more outgoing but not too much.

I'm very outgoing and talkative in person (especially when I have a little to drink) but on the forums I'm more reserved.

Quite the opposite.

I feel comfortable hiding behind the computer screen, not that I have anything to hide - but I just like privacy. People don't really know too much about me and that's a good thing - everyone is on equal terms on the interwebs.

The person I am in real life is different to the person I am on these forums. But then the way I present myself here is tempered to suit the environment of this forum. I am a different person here to the person I am on Facebook, for example, or on other more unruly websites.

It's the same for real life. I present a different 'face' depending on who I'm dealing with. The 'me' that my parents know is not the person that I am around close friends, or work colleagues, or strangers in the pub. Without trying to sounds like some man of mystery (or schizophrenic,) very few people know the real me.

That's true Ben, but that's really just about acting appropriate for different situations, which I'd say most people do. Whereas I'd say when I met you, you were pretty much as I imagined you, only even more fun.

My peen is infinitely larger in reality than it is depicted here.

Strange. I'm the opposite. I have a massive e-peen.

I behave similar at this forum to real life, every where else online I'm a colossal perv.
Take care everyone - Bet you all didn't even notice I was gone.

Happy Lives to you all.

.. a little too complicated..... I (have to) have different selves even IRL.... mostly because of the career I began to pursue after the uni.... since the hierarchical structure of my organisation doesn't reflect my personality at all, I kind of have to pretend at the office....

but in all settings I am
 - very talkative and extraverted (by which I mean garrulous, naggy, bitchy, blabbermouth.....)
- pleased with herself, high self-efficacy (smug, stuck up bitch)
- frank, honest, straight-out (impulsive)



also an excitement-seeker, always open to experience....cheerful (but secretly anxious), imaginative....self satisfied (no not in that sense....  it's your dirty mind...)


more vulnerable and more sensitive about being treated fairly IRL....

you know everthing about me now  :omg:

I'm very chill in person in most social situations. Not to say I'm not chiller online elsewhere, but with modding comes a certain reputation that really isn't fully indicative of my natural demeanor.

My penchant for organization definitely carries over into real life though. I tend to keep things very orderly and well documented and such.

I'm a pretty smug asshole in both real life and online, though the anonymous nature of the internet really encourages this behavior.

I'm a jerk online but I think I'm a nice person IRL.

So, here is me:

Online: I joke around a lot. Sarcasm saturates my words. I poke fun. I don't care too much. It's the internet.

Real Life: Much more introverted. Not shy, but quiet, because I'm not much of a talker. I take my time before saying something, unless I am in really good company (like when I met yeshua4 for a DT concert). But I can still be sarcastic.


Anyway.
