Do we act differently online or say things we'd never do in the 'real world'?
i know i say things i'd never say in real life. i'm not as cocky as i am online than in real. what's so scary about saying something rude to someone online? nothing really. i'm pretty much the same irl & online other then that :) & i talk to people online 'bout personal stuff more than real life friends
Well I act like this alot in real life, but tbh in real life I have more control then I do on here, so not many people get rude back. bless.
Yessss. I also say things to people I know irl online, like things i'd never say irl haha lol
Lol Earthquake. I'm like buttons - I'd never act like I do online in real life, and I do open up to people a bit more online.
That's another big point. Talking to real life friends online. I act a tad differently then too, for example, even though I could be extremely tired, I can still type lively.Quote:

No offence lol.
Thats them lot, if you knew them you wouldn't be saying what your saying. I've got d.ville on there backs now anyway and had the sket who threatend me in college today.Quote:

I can be as confident as I am on here... sometimes, in IRL. Idk, it depends on the sitch really.
i dont speak english irl so yeh
i act the same
but like, i say blonde things irl :(
lol well same here then. i don't type like this to my friends or nothing.Quote:

I agree with most people, act differently irl than online. I suppose anonimity plays a big factor though.
Im the other way to most people. I tend to act alot more outgoing in real life than online.
I suppose its just because I know everyone offline and its much easier to have a laugh and a joke about wheras online I dont know everyone and it takes longer to get to know someone because you can't tell their personality from the way they type.
I act extremely differently online than in real life, I also act extremely differently at school than I do if im say.. out in town with my friends.
Yea I act differently online than I do in real life. Im shy in real life and wouldn't usually talk to a girl I like but if I have her MSN I will talk to her on the internet lol :P
i suppose im nicer irl aswell
im really cocky online cause i know nobody can touch me ... then again im really cocky in IRL cause i know nobody ( nobody im rude to ) can tocuh me :rolleyes::D:rolleyes:
:DLmao! Im a bit more quieter online than irl. Like im quite loud at college and things and at home.Quote:

im way nicer in real life. and more shy. i feel way better about making fun of someone on here than for real lol.
I tell my friend a lot more over the internet then I would in real life, probably because what I tell her is embarrassing :eusa_whisQuote:

Everybody acts different and says thing they normally wouldnt online becuase they dont have to face the consquences.
Example:
On xbox live, a little squeaky kid calling some black guy the n word. They would never do that irl becuase they would get beat up/killed.
Oh yeah. I don't talk about computers/games in real life and other stuff which I talk about online. :)
Erm i'm different online. I say stuff I wouldn't really say in real life. In real life i'm a really shy person.
nope i'm confrontational irl and on the forum lol
LOL same :)Quote:

Because over the internet people seem to have more confidence and they will tell you anything - if its good or bad - maybe try and argue with you.
The internet is a key to been big & Hard :D
Errmm ye lol im probs more louder irl tbhh but idkkkkkkkkkkkk :D x
im sure everyone does without noticing
As far as i know, i im pretty much the same person online and irl. I dont see the point to act differently or lie about myself. Just dont.Quote:

I reckon EVERYONE is different online.
Cos there are some things you just wouldnt say irl cos you know you'd get a smack in the mouth yet if you type it, theres not really much people can do.
+people might be like ultra shy too, yet theres nothing scary about typing unless you have some strange computer fear.
yeah I think I do.
yes, i dont say "lol" "lmao" "hehe" "owned" "noob" "open bets" "rofl" in real life but i do online, those of you who said you're the same as both i assume you say these phrases irl too :S
loll i've had a few smacks for some of the stuff i've said onlineQuote:

Do the rest yourself.
i have to tone down some of the stuff i say online because people can't see that your joking when in real life they can.
