Who Are You?

[dukedogsmom]

I wanted to know if everyone here is different on PT than on other sites and in real life. Me, I'm the same here as in real life. If I don't like something, I can't just sit back and say nothing. I'm both blunt and honest to a fault. But, I'm not one person here and someone totally different on a different site, such as a blog one. What you see here with me is what you get. I've recently learned that some people aren't as they appear here and I'm kind of disappointed in that. I know we're not all perfect and we're not supposed to be. What I'm saying is, if you don't like a lot of people here, please don't pretend to and then badmouth them somewhere else.

I'm the same here, in real life, and on other sites.
I treat people how they treat me.

I agree.. it's very dissappointing seeing how people talk about others on other sites and such, while they act like perfect sweet angels to them on here.

I personally would much rather someone be straight forward and tell me how it is then run around saying stuff about me here and there. Also, if someone is told/shown/whatever *anything* about me, i'd much rather them ask me if it's truthful or not then spreading it around to others.

Some PT'ers think i'm some evil child who spews off and erupts at people for no reason, but they don't see that some people just hide everything from PT, and hide how they *really* are to me. I guess that's a whoollee 'nother subject though.

I meant to click the first one.

I'm the same everywhere. Online and in real life.

I babble here a little more than IRL but thats it

I'm kind of shy *well painfully so, admittedly* so talking to people in person is rather difficult for me *although thanks to Mr. Social Butterfly AKA the hubby, my shyness is getting a lot more under control* I find that I write better than I speak so speaking up on here is much easier. I'd say the same things IRL though, although not as elequently. I don't post on any other board except on Smallcritters.com and that is just game related conversation anyway so that doesn't count. I don't blog or live journal anymore *mostly because I don't have time, partly because ranting on here actualy HELPS lol*

I am me and thats it. On here what you see is who I am.

This is a sore spot for me. I have a list of people on Ignore that I didn't before, because I was getting PMs saying bad things about people and then I would turn around and see them tell the same people how wonderful they are and that they just adored them in public threads. Sickening.

If I don't like someone, I generally don't reply to them in any way, shape, or form. I stay out of their way and if it's a mutual dislike, I expect the same from them.

I think a lot of people are different in Blogs because they can say anything they want to in them, whereas PT is a community where you censor your language and try to respect others and their feelings. Blogs are a whole different realm than message board communities.

But yeah, pretending to be friends with a person in public and then badmouthing them in private is nauseating.

I am the same here as in real life what you see is what you get and I am naturally A nice person and I think that it is wrong to act one way on here and then a different in person that is two faced and that is wrong

[Aspen and Misty]

I'm the same, dont' talk much in either.

I guess I'm pretty much the same....but in real life I'm a little shy and there are lots more things I'm more confortable saying on here than in real life

[Uabassoon]

I think I'm a little different in real life and on other sites. But I don't think that's a bad thing. I don't go badmouting people from here on other sites or anything like that. I just think that the PT me is a little more of a cleaned up version of me. I'm a little more careful of what I say mostly just because a lot of young people read this site. I hope nobody reads this and takes it the wrong was thinking I have two sides or something like that, think of it more like this is the cencsored version of me.

[CatMama78]

Hmmm well I only post on one other site and it's not pet related. I'm a a little more sassy on it. But I'm still the same person. I have to say I may be perceived as a little more diffferent than I am on here once you get to know me. I'm pretty full of dry humor and somewhat sarcastic. But who I am on here is a very real part of me. It's not like I make things up on here, or have a different personality in real life. I think the way to put it is there's more of me offline. I bet I'm pretty liberal compared to how I am on here.

I also find it kind of strange that it sounds like people back stab each other here
. It's a pet lovers site, what's to backtalk about, lol.

[Katiesmom]

I'm pretty much the same on here and in real life...I don't talk much...due to that fact that I'm shy...but thats something I am working on...just like on here I lurk around in real life too... ...I know I'm pathetic (sp?) You know for this to be a pet message board there is an awful lot of drama amongst people here .....but I understand about the back stabbing thing..it sucks and I wish people would just grow up and tell that person how they feel or just don't talk to them at all or even about them...

[slleipnir]

I'm the same ol' me. lol. Although I'm probably a lot more shy talking with people in RL then over the net

[sirrahved]

I'm a member of a pastors' wives website... I'm a lot more honest about my spirituality there than here. I'm also frequenting a trying to conceive board... something that all of you don't want to hear about, I'm sure! I guess the most accurate thing to say would be that I let different sides of me show in different places... in real life and on the net!

[Fox-Gal]

I have to say I'm a little different here then in real life. I feel I have to be, in real life I'm a little more out going when it comes to stating whats on my mind. Here, I back off a lot, trying very hard to keep my mouth shut, Intill something really really hits a nerve, then the true me comes out.

As my friends in real life will tell you, I have no problems giving someone my opinion, when I feel strongly about something. Here, I learned that it doesn't work. I don't want this to be misunderstood, my friends say I state my opinions with respect to those I'm talking to. So I'm not a hard noes, I just hate when people think only in balck and white, so I try to show them some gray, nicely. I'm a little afraid to show some people here the gray side of life. Fights start to easy here.

But thats the only part of me thats a little different here, the rest is me.

i think i'm pretty much the same person here as i am in real life, i don't like pretending to be someone i'm not because i always 'forget' to be the other me. as for the backstabbing thing...i think most of the people who do it on here aren't really mena evil backstabbing people, but it's so much easier to do that when they can't see the person they're hurting and gossiping about. i'm definatly not saying that's an excuse, but it doesn't make them bad people, it just makes them a little spineless. JMO.
