Who Are You?

[nibblets]

I'm the same here as in real life...although I do talk about my pets more here because I know you all don't mind.

I'm the same everywhere, except I am more shy in real life than I am here lol but still the same person

[binka_nugget]

I'm completely different in real life than the way I am on here. I'm a huge blabber mouth, every other word is a swear word, I could ramble on for hours, I show more of my humor, I'm sarcastic and I'm really outgoing.

On other forums, I'm the same. On blogs however, I'm the same me that I am in real life. I don't censor myself and just say whatever I please.

In real life, I'm kind of more shy, and I don't talk much, until i really get kind of warmed up to the person.. And usually if someone will say something rude to me, i'll just roll my eyes and let the comment pass.. But it seems like im more *open* on sites, such as PT, where if someone were to say a rude comment, i would argue back..

As for blogs, yes. I'm totally different. That's a place for you to go and vent off things that are bothering you.. So yep, i confess to being a 'different person' else where. But, I don't think it's right for people to judge anyone on what they say in their blog.. Because of course your going to be a different person in a forum, rather than in a blog..

By the way -- Micki, i completley agree with you..

I think I'm different in real life than I am posting here.

I cuss like a sailor, [If anyone reads my livejournal, you would see that] but don't really on this board, simply because it's a family site, and it's a place where we talk about our pets. It's more of a "censored version" of me here, like others mentioned. I'm not shy at all in real life, or on here. I say what I think in both places as well.

As for the Livejournal blogging, it's a journal. I'm sorry if I, or anyone else disappointed you, but of course I'm going to act different and write what I want in there. It's a place where I can let all of my emotions or feelings out. I don't think it's fair to compare a journal and a message board together.

Except I might talk a little more here

[primabella]

I'm a lot more loud and talkative in real life, and act a lot sillier. Actually, anyone who talks to me off of messageboards will see I act a bit differently. I don't think I change as a person though, except I say what's on my mind a lot more fequently in real life than online.

I'm pretty much the same here as I am in real life. While I am a little shy and quiet in real life, I myself, in my thoughts/posts/etc. am totally the same person. Just as I would never *fake* a friendship with anyone in real life, I wouldn't fake a friendship with anyone on PT either. If I have issues with someone, in real life, or here, I would never tell them they're wonderful, etc. in front of them, or on the board, and backbite about them in their absense. Never. I also don't talk about/tell things my friends tell me to others in real life, OR here. Actually, I find it funny calling our *offline* life *real* life to begin with, because in reality, the people on PT are real people we know in *real* life too. Its just that we're not talking face to face, but the fact is, PT is real life too. We're all real people, and just because we're not talking face to face, that doesn't mean this *isn't* real life. So because I consider PT as *real* as my offline life, I'm pretty much the same person on both. The only difference is I talk more here.

I have to ditto what Micki said too. I noticed several people PM others, badmouthing about someone on the board, and when they post on PT, that very same person is their precious angel. Its really sickening, to be honest. I don't know how anyone could curse a person behind their backs, and praise them in front of them. Sad.

I am more or less the same in real life as here, (just as paranoid ).

I totally agree with Micki when she wrote...

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

Great question!

As for me, my favorite saying is "whatchya see is whatchya get!" I am an open book... and just as silly in real life!

[aly]

I'm pretty much the same here as I am on other boards and in real life. Well I actually don't post on any other boards too much and I don't have a blog. But I do try to stay true to myself when I post here.

I am also surprised when I read some of the LJ's of people on here I stopped reading them because I feel like I'm reading someone's diary and I prefer to get to know people and let them tell me those kinds of things personally, not read their private thoughts. (Even though I know they do post it online for all to read, I still feel weird)

[dukedogsmom]

I just wish I hadn't seen what was written. Ignorance is bliss. As for that person, I'll just have to stay away from them and have been practicing that recently.

[carole]

I am shy in real life, whereas I can be much more open on PT, in that way its been good for me, I am pretty much the same in every other way, what you see, is what you get.

[KYS]

I think I am the same.

[jazzcat]

I'm pretty much the same here as I am everywhere else but I'm not as sarcastic online. I find my humor doesn't come off as well in type. I think you have to see my face and rolling eyes to know I'm joking.

I'm totally clueless about blogs and live journals. What are they?
