On this board vs real life?

I write more eloquently than I speak :grimacing: Less dramatic. More cheerful. Other than that I’m pretty much the same.

I’m pretty cheerful and talkative. I do have a bit of a wicked sense of humour. I’m not everyone’s taste but you can’t please everybody.

I am mostly the same here as I am IRL…awkward, usually kind, and often at a loss for what to say. I just have more time to craft my words here.

gee, that’s tricky. Here, I’m i dunno, maybe talkative? I seem to have a purpose (namely, fight for the rights of sz’s), I tend to articulate myself using different words than I would in person (I live in a high crime, urban area, so going around being like “top of the day to you, gentle sir” would not go over well, instead I just say 'sup or ay).

IRL, I don’t trust people to do more than inane chit chat before excusing myself somewhere. IRL there’s several sides to me: the Master’s degree graduate side, who is quiet but assertive, serious, but polite. Studious, and no trace of the urban decay I live in, and no hint of the sza…the kickboxing student who is smiley but shy…the close friend me, who is honest about everything to a few people…and the neighborhood me who is tough and stands up for herself to the jerks in the neighborhood, but doesn’t talk about college or anything, since it’s very rare that someone in this neighborhood would be able to graduate from a 4 year University, let alone a Master’s degree program.

I’ve split up IRL into different groups, as I don’t act the same to different people. It’s just how I pass as a normal, by adapting to my immediate company in behavior, tone, vocabulary, body language, etc…
I feel very split in terms of how I can communicate with people and how much to share.

I’m less of a weirdo on here; I don’t joke around much on here but I do in real life, with family and coworkers. I share a lot about my MI on here. I only share with my husband and sometimes my parents and siblings in real life.

I try to make it “synchronous” between real life and on this board.

I am not intelligent at all in real life. I will try to communicate on Internet as in real life from now on.
