e-Life, do we act differently online?

[MrGazet]

I guess I am in certain ways.I talk a lil much online & cbb to argue with peeps online which are contrast from what i am in real life.
also,i open up to online mates more than my rl mates

[Hazza]

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

basically same as you.
everyone acts differently online in one way or another.

Lol Its not as simple as in real life:

9y: Get out of my room
Anno: NO
9y: NOW
Anno: NEVER!!!
*hit the kick & ban button*

Sadly. But i act a little more cockey online. Especially in gaming. Not habbo (thats nothing on gaming lol) COD4/RA3/COD5/L4D/TF2/CS:S

[leah]

lol well same here then. i don't type like this to my friends or nothing.

you do online aswell lol ;p

lol jen

I prefer to talk to people in person than online. On Facebook and forums I seem really arrogant and I hate using the "I" word so much...

you don't come across as arrogant ryan

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

yes I do say that irl... problem?

I do think that we act differently online, whether because it isn't face to face so we can be ourselves, or because your not face to face so you can do what you want without any 'real life' consequences or whatever .

basically same as you.
everyone acts differently online in one way or another.

well this is a lie, because i'd say i'm completely the same offline & online.
i argue with people online & offline, because i don't believe in hiding behind a pixel.

[today]

I'm worse in person.

[Stefy]

I forgot if I posted already but oh well, I'd say I just act more myself online Nothing different really except I'm just more comfortable acting myself on here

[,Lexiilu]

I act a LOT different on the internet. I guess you could say that I'm less afraid to show emotion and argue with people, I can be more open and honest because a lot of these people I'll never actually meet but we can become good friends, and whatnot. I felt kind of bad at first because I was never supposed to chat online because my mom has this fear that some pedo is going to find me and kill me, but I know how to handle myself which she just doesn't understand. So I think that going online to get to know people was great for me, because otherwise I'd be all by myself and keeping everything to myself.
