How so?

People are more open on the internet than in real life.

They’re able to hide behind a screenname and talk about anything they desire.

In a lot of ways, it’s more honest than real life.

In a lot of ways, not.

Tough call.

People act differently on text, phone, zoom and in person. I refuse to Xoom and whatever becomes of the meta verse.

My wife was the same in real life when I finally met her in person after a month of going back and forth over the Net when she answered my ad.

Yeah,

I act like this in real life.

Equally as bitchy and mean spirited.

Edited because I was being unnecessarily bitchy.

I think they’re both real.

If I go to the Uber app, click for an Uber, the car and driver arrives in 5 or 10 minutes (preferably 5). I think we’d agree that the car is real, the driver is real, so is the click real? Yes.

As for social media, I think the further a person is from another person, coupled with anonymity, make it more likely that a person will disrespect another person as opposed to when having a face-to-face conversation with that person.

They’re both real. Oh, time for lunch. BBL
