Internet Personality

im really not good with my words, so sometimes i come off constraint
 
I think that I appear to be more confident online than in my real life. I am basicly shy around other people-- I have been seriously hard of hearing ever since I was a child, so in some ways it's easier for me to communicate via the written word. In real life I often misunderstand what other people are saying, so my reaction is not always appropriate. That doesn't happen so much when I'm communicating with people online.
 
I think I'm less certain of myself more in real life,though occasionally it's spilled out on the boards.I would be a little wilder and more candid among people i know in real life,definitely a ham and love to make people laugh and be entertained,on the boards and real life.

No, not at all, I'm me, here, there, everywhere. Like it or not, this isn't gonna change.

Unfortunately, there's some people here, that I truily trusted and that I really liked, who happened to be something totally different than what they were saying they are.

I guess they don't find it hard to express their untrue self... :grrr:
 
I'm the same cantankerous, mean spirited, frothy bitch here that I am in real life. :D
 
No. I can't type and tend to lose my train of thought as I henpeck. This just isn't my thing.
 
I'm much more shy in person, but basically what you see here is what you get with me.

I doubt it. Most assholes don't mention they're an asshole in every other thread.

The best answer I can give is to say that I do try very hard to be as true to myself as I can on here. Nevertheless, the only way that any of you will ever get to know the 'real' me is to meet with me and talk with me in person. And I can only hope that if ever that should occur, then you would, at the very least, be able to walk away and say: "Yep, he is just as I imagined him to be".

The siggy I'm currently using is the one that I think comes closest to expressing what I'm all about and what my presence on JUB most means to me.

hmmmm....

No.

And Yes.

I don't know if my true personality comes across online. I just am who I am. I've never tried to be anything more or less than what I am. I'm the same guy online as I am in real life, except for a couple of things.

My sense of humor is nearly impossible to express online... it depends a lot on tone of voice, timing, facial expressions and gestures.

Also, I'm much better looking online than I am in real life.
 
Im a little more opinionated in person
 
My "real life" friends always tell me that I am very friendly, but also very reserved.

I think that it is the same here; I always enjoy the threads, and have particular favorite posters, but I truly enjoy just about everybody.
I don't think that it is possible to completely understand someone until you have met them in real life, and have a history with them.
Interestingly, I find that when I see a jubber's post, I do have some preconceived notion regarding how they will "weigh in" on a certain topic.

Like several of you guys have said, I, too, always try to be honest with myself and others, and, hopefully, some of my real personality comes out in my posts.
 
I find it MUCH easier to express myself online. It's mostly because I have a speech impediment that usually prevents me from speaking the way I think. The way I write online is the way I want to speak, but that's not always possible.

Also, I'm obscenely shy, which prevents me from really opening up to real people.
 
I am what I am on-line in real life only more so. Still.

I don't have time to spin lies or tales.

And I have no time for bullshit in real life or in the ether.

I love my partner and my cats and am a wholly imperfect human being who is unafraid of just about anything any more.
 
Two problems with reading internet personalities immediately come to mind.

One - Most people have difficulty putting their true feelings and/or self into words on a page. How can we get to know them when they are unable to express themselves?

Two - All social media websites have rules. When a rule is broken, often accounts are locked or terminated/removed, or offending posts are removed. Putting offending words out of sight puts part of the poster out of sight leaving us with an incomplete picture/assessment of that poster.
