Are you the same social person here and in real life...?

Is there any difference?

anon8091425 · October 13, 2021, 5:44pm

I think so. I’m a Nice person both here and irl😅

san_pedro · October 13, 2021, 5:57pm

online can be quite false in social interactions IMO

I have an easier time talking and expressing myself online, irl its much harder.

cigarino · October 13, 2021, 6:00pm

kinda, i have bad social anxiety so in real life its much harder to talk to people and process everything going on

I would say there is a big difference in my case. I’m so tense when I am around people in person that I know it can’t be much fun for them to get to know me. I feel like I am closer to the real me on this site.

san_pedro · October 13, 2021, 6:13pm

There is is a big difference online verus in irl

anon9798425 · October 13, 2021, 6:16pm

I get along with people IRL.

anon6551389 · October 13, 2021, 6:20pm

In the real world, I’m a glamorous television personality.

I am very similar online and off. I don’t have a problem maintaining friendships, especially now that I’ve found friends who are supportive, understanding, and accepting. (The only problem is that none of them live in the same state as me.) I like the silly and witty banter that I have between people both here and IRL.

I don’t have any problems talking to anyone, strangers, etc.

I can often push my way through a depression to put on a “social” face for brief moments as necessary. I’ve been performing since I’m 4, so this skill comes in handy.

Sometimes I’m just too dark, and when I am, I tend to hole up by myself, so as not to “inflict” myself on anyone.

RottenApple · October 13, 2021, 6:24pm

I am definitely more reserved in person than I am on here

Bowens · October 13, 2021, 6:37pm

I have a hard time having long conversations in real life. I usually just end up listening and find myself often eagerly awaiting the conversation to be over. Especially when I am called on the phone.

san_pedro · October 13, 2021, 6:45pm

I say what come t me mind online more

Zoe · October 13, 2021, 7:41pm

Yea if I feel comfortable with someone then I can be sort of chatty. But if I were to meet you guys irl, I’d bow out.

Since I’ve opened up a lot, but don’t even know any of you irl at all

CoCo · October 13, 2021, 7:52pm

I’m the same all the time according to friends and family. But it’s too a fault. I have a hard time acting a certain way to fit what’s happening.

iconoclast_01 · October 13, 2021, 10:22pm

Different. Here I can interact with people in similar situations, whereas irl I don’t ever discuss mi at all, ever, except for peers. I hardly have an irl life, but in public I have a few different “shells” that I wear, I’ve become quite the actor over these many years and they are quite impenetrable. Basically I trust no one irl, so my real self is locked away.

agent101g · October 13, 2021, 10:27pm

I think I’m nicer in real life. Always showing my best side. Online I kinda just complain whenever I feel like it.

Cragger · October 13, 2021, 10:32pm

I think I’m a basically decent human being on the board, or in real life. Am I as social? I’m not, but it’s not by choice. All my friends are married with children, I am the only single one left.

It gets lonely at times, but I still have some good friends and I guess it’s not so bad most days

Ooorgle · October 13, 2021, 10:36pm

Much more uncomfortable in real life. I’m more open here with my peers.

lekkerhondje · October 14, 2021, 2:57pm

i’m the same here and in real life =D
