You in real life?

Iron Maiden · **Posted:** July 6th, 2009, 6:48 pm

It's common that some of us, are different person on the Internet and In Real Life.
How is your personality, in real life? How do others percieve you? Who is the you in real life?

For me umm...It's kinda hard to tell, because I almost have two very different personalities XD

I look like someone that's quiet,shy,etc...But if you think that, You're wrong.
I'm the most complex character you'll ever meet. I can be incredibly calm, as much as I can be incredibly hyper. It always depends with who I am. I'm far away from being shy, I'm always ready to do the most wicked challenges. If I dont know you, I will be incredibly calm,reserved and introverted. If I know you, I will be a total showoff.
I'm anti-social, It's very awkward for me to make new friends. It almost if I was...Afraid...of people. Not because I'm shy, because...I seriously dont know :$
My circle of friend is very small.

I value the ones I love more than anything in the world. I'd sacrifice my life at any cost for someone I care about. But if you're nothing to me, You can die right away, and I wont even care. But there is nothing I wouldn't do for someone I love.

Then, I dislike to brag, I'm a very strategic person.
I plan carefuly every of my single major action, Predicting every reaction/possibilities. I'm also a very good people analizer, It's takes me about ten minutes to know exactly how someone thinks and to know his weaknesses. I think this is my strongest point.

Finally, my mind. For few years, I've been 'The bad guy', The one that says the most evil things to someone,The one that makes fun whenever I have an opportunity. The one that hurt people without having any remorses...
I am incredibly misunderstood. People think I am impossible to understand, I'm a jerk, I'm heartless and I'm evil.
All in all, It's not true. I know I'm rough sometimes, But no ones knows what's like to be who I am. I think my 'evil' and 'heartless' temper comes from the lack of caring/love/appreciation from others. I believe maybe I have a heart, Deeply hidden somewhere.

I'm not someone that's evil...I just had no luck.
I never chose to be 'The Bad Guy'...I never chose who I became...All I want, is someone that's understand me and someone that could appreciate me...I expect no forgiveness from the many people I have hurted...

I believe I'm just...lost...
Oh well...

What about you?
Describe the real life you.

I'm that "cool" kid that is friends with everyone, no enemies except ex-girlfriends.
I am also a big flirt. You really don't think I'd be seeing as I'm on the comp so much and play runescape.
I swear a lot and have a weird craving for mandarin oranges.

This is pretty interesting. I bet most people on here will say "Oh, I'm exactly how I am on here as I am in real life." Which can be semi true, but at least the person could describe their personality outside of what one can pick up on over the internet. (As in how you interact with people you know, you don't know, etc.)

As for me, I mean I'm pretty similar as in how I act towards controversial comments. I'm not afraid to speak my mind but I try to do it politely.

Around large groups of people that know each other but I don't know them I get kind of quiet. I'm trying to get better with that, but I suppose it's understandable. Around people that don't know me or one another I'm more outgoing more because I want them to talk and find out their personalities. My first day of work I was like that and weeded out the people I didn't like.

I suppose I can be a bit hot tempered sometimes if someone really ***** me off. For instance, my managers brother is a complete ****. He's not assistant manager, he's not higher up than me or the rest of my fellow workers are, but he bosses us around constantly, eats food in front of us, cusses, throws hissy fits, and is plain rude to everyone. (And he's 23 mind you) Anyway, most people at work like him because a lot of times he makes jokes at others expense and as long as it's not them they find him hilarious. I insult him as much as I can without going overboard. I mean the other day I kind of crossed the line but I don't even care anymore. He made a comment about me not wearing my normal shoes and I said that because I slept over Joey's house (Joey is my boyfriend that also works there) I forgot them and he was like "WOAH STOP THERE I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE DETAILS. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT HOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET PREGNANT" and all this ****. A very mature response as you can tell. So I said "Well you're just jealous because you're never going to get laid." I know, also not mature, but trust me, it's true. Anyway, he was walking away when I said that so I don't think he heard me, but one of my fellow workers told him and he confronted me about it and I just said "Well what did you expect me to say when you acted so immaturely about it?" and he just walked away.

Wow I just went off on a complete rant about that, but I really hate that guy. Everyone else just takes his **** but I won't. I would rather get fired than take it. Again, that's just me and my hot temper.

Around friends or people that I know but are not very close to I try to be nice and I like to please people. I'm polite to people that deserve it.

I don't like to show public affection towards my boyfriend. I'll give him a quick kiss if we're saying goodbye or something in public, but I won't do more than that. I prefer to just act like we're friends when we're in public/hanging out with friends because frankly, watching other people make out and stuff just is gross.

On xbox live, I just act like "one of the guys". I'm never singled out because I'm a girl because I don't try to act all girly. One of my friends girlfriends does that. She constantly says I love you to her boyfriend and giggles and **** and it gets annoying. Girls on xbox that try to point out that their girls that have usernames like "Halo Babe" or "Spartan Chick" get on my nerves.

Haha I can't believe I just typed that much about myself. Pathetic actually, but I was bored.

Lol?

A lot of people act the same as they do on the internet. I've talked to Creepy on countless occasions and, yes, he's just as crazy as he is on these forums. You know, not everyone uses the internet to make up for the fact that they're socially awkward in real life.

Me? I'm socially awkward in real life and make up for it on the internet. I'm a pretty polite person in real life and I seldom talk about politics, religion, or any of that nonsense with people I don't know. On the internet though? Everything is free game. Especially if I can wind some stranger up to the point where they write 3-4 paragraph responses to my posts. I'm pretty easygoing in reality. I rather make friends based on mutual interests than based on what their political/religious views are. People can be really interesting when they don't blather on about whether or not god exists or if *** people should be allowed to marry. I've made a diverse group of friends on those principles.

Hmmm. I'd say I'm probably more immature over the internet. Especially the things I post, link people to over MSN (that I've met on the internet) and stuff like that. I'm quite shy in real life, but once you get to know me I'm just fine. It's hard to say really. I guess you'd have to ask someone who is on the forums and knows me in real life. I make friends easily but I prefer to have a few close friends rather than a bunch of acquantinces. Sometimes my temper can be short, others I'm very patient but I'm pretty sure that's just cause of my age. I'm pretty much a goodytwoshoes a school e.g. never had a lunchtime detention, nearly always do my homework, etc. Other than that, I can't think of much else to say.

While it's been some time since I've had any reason to show my personality and suxmch on the Internet, I'm mostly the same as real life, except I'm actually more kind on the internet. In real life, I'm the smart and obnoxious kind of person who likes to correct people. As such, I have lots of people who dislike me. It's just because im a kinda of perfectness freak and i work really hadd towards everything. But that doesn't mean I'm some kind of loser. While I haven't played runsescape in some time, I usually make lots of new friends. As an added note, as I gave my main account to my friend I am making a new account from scratch. I know even if I say it, nobody will actually, but please add me, nextgenazyn, as I'm going to be pretty active and I don't want to be playing by myself all the time.

I guess in real life I am more different than expected. I am a shy and not-so-confident person in real life when it comes to talking to strangers or people I've just met. However when I'm with really close friends, people I rely on and trust, I become completely crazy and a completely different person. I'm quite a sporty person, but I don't have many other hobbies or interests apart from music. I'm a bit too laid-back, and I like to go with the flow. I'm pretty much always chilled and up for a laugh, anything for a good time. However this might be the reason that I never do my homework or pay attention in school, yet I still get good grades

She answered for me. I am an immature, easy going rather care free person. In groups i tend to be a bit more reserved and just go with the flow.

Isn't to say i can't be sensible and mature about things i just don't think life should be one big cautious "always thinking 2 steps ahead" walk. More like racing down some rapids. ;D

I get on with pretty much everyone. I am different to online in that I'm Verry polite to new people over just not caring and very rude to people i don't like/don't like me where as on here i keep myself in check more often than not.

CHRIST i **** hate girls like that on XBL. OR the ones that put it in there **** profile "OH AND YES I AM A GIRL"

God **** as if the voice or name didn't give it away. And it's 99% of them that do it. And THEN every horny teenage boy on there flirts like mad and acts like a ******* which gets even more irritating to the point where you want to just quit out.

You've touched upon a very sensititve subject there.

The Killer · **Posted:** July 7th, 2009, 9:28 am

im sorta like a tough guy irl but not a chick magnet tho coz i flirt a little too much.

Davo · **Posted:** July 7th, 2009, 9:55 am

Pretty much the same as online. I'm not about putting on fronts or anything. I'm very easy-going irl and I'm pretty shy to most people. I'm only funny and outgoing to my closest friends. I'm quiet any other time. I don't drink or smoke or party or any of that stuff. Online every once in a while I'll be kinda crazy and whatnot, but random spamming noobs irritate me. Most people call me boring...

ryan1 · **Posted:** July 7th, 2009, 4:00 pm

I'm a complete introvert. I'll take reading a book or playing a videogame over going to a dance or w/e with a group of people any day.

I have only a few friends, but I feel like the friends that I do have are the true sort of friends (as opposed to the sort of friends who you say four words to: "Bring me another beer."). I really enjoy having just a few close friends, and I'm perfectly fine with being considered 'anti-social' to most people.

I am an open atheist online, closet atheist IRL. I don't want to explain to my family and pop their fragile little bubble of reality. Also, my parents are paying for half of my college. They would likely disown me upon discovery of my true beliefs.

Unless you've talked to him in person then you don't know.. Just throwing that out there. And I'm not really sure he was saying that people are trying to use the internet to make up for being socially awkward. I'm thinking more along the lines that the internet is completely different than "real life" and you can't get all the dimensions of someone's personality through the computer.

Iron Maiden · **Posted:** July 7th, 2009, 4:48 pm

People can mask their real thoughts while they are behind a keyboard, because they can post whatever they want. You cant be seen when you are on the internet, Thus they can create the 'character' they want to be.

However, In real life, it is harder. You can hardly hide your habits, And trust me, your habits defines your personality. Crossing your right arm then your left arm dont have the same meaning as crossing your left arm then your right arm. A facial expression can define someone's personality, and this is true for anything else.

I'm an expert at people analyzing, and my guesses are about 98% always true. But you can't know that stuff over the internet because you dont have the person in front of you. Instead you're reading a post, And with that, you can't know how is someone's personality, Unless you can define it with their way to type. But that's alot harder.

Finally, you can be whoever you want to be on the internet, since you can write and rewrite whatever you want, and most of people will never know if it's true.
