Are you the same online as in real life?

[InOne]

Would you say you're the same? Some people may exaggerate their personality a bit, or talk how they'd talk.

[Shardlake]

I'm not the same at all really, and have been told so by probably 3 or 4 people that I initially met online.

People dont point and laugh at me online :laugh: I feel more relaxed and have been told that my true personality comes across over the net, which gets stifled in person due to my hangups.

[GypsyGoth]

I'm pretty different, I'm confident and chatty here, I'm neither of those things in real life.

[Jords]

I would say so, its hard to know how you come across I find sometimes.

[Raph]

Same as Jords really. I think so, but then again it's hard to think how you come across in real life.

[Enid]

I withdraw from a lot of people offline because most of them piss me off one way or another. On the internet I can say you're an idiot and that's that. That's not to say I'm anti-social or a "loner", but I'm definitely introverted. In most cases I choose to be on my own than with a group or morons.

If we're on the same wavelength, if we "click", if we share many hobbies and interests, then I'll never shut up.

My boyfriend is exactly the same way. Needless to say, we are always spending time together, hahah.

[BB_Eye]

I used to be quite argumentative on here, where as I've always avoided conflict in real life, but have mellowed more recently. I think the biggest real life trait that comes across here is that I am just rubbish with small talk, hence I only really post in Chat and Games occasionally. Plus I can ramble on a bit about stuff that might bore most people. That's definitely me.

I talk about myself too much in real life, which is reflected pretty well on here. I try to do it less, but here I go posting on a thread encouraging you to talk about yourself. :p

[30stone]

Im pretty cocky/confident all the time on here, and im 95% of the time cocky/confident irl, but i can actually get shy occasionally.

[Stacey.]

I'd say I'm the same in real life as on here, and I just post exactly what I'm thinking as you can probably tell. Sometimes on here I think I might come over a bit wrong though? But if you knew me in real life then I don't think I would if that makes sense.

I am the same. I hate small talk too. Either engage in a proper conversation with me, or don't talk to me at all. I'm cool with that. I'd prefer that than having to deal with all the awkwardness.

[LemonJam]

I'm probably shyer and much less camp IRL. I blame Shaun for making me camp online haha.

I don't know how I come across though so it's hard to say really.

[LemonJam]

I would say so, its hard to know how you come across I find sometimes.

I'd say you come across as chatty, friendly and a kid at heart.

[Mac Hiavellian]

Very much

[Tom4784]

No, I don't think a lot of my personality comes across much on the forums.

[Scarlett.]

I'd say similar, though online I have the courage to say things to people I wouldn't in rl

[Maia]

I'm a lot more shy in real life, whereas online I can speak a lot more and I don't feel as awkward and stuff.

[Ninastar]

Im not as flirty or chatty in real life. I do always say what Im thinking though. Sometimes I dont realize it though. esp in real life

[billy123]

Far more tolerant of people on here (usually) but after yesterdays debacle thats done with.
I have picked up 2 infraction points in 2 years(both expired) but because of the crapstorm surrounding john james fall from grace i received 7 infraction points for 2 posts i made that were no different to many posts ive made in the past. given by moderators that were very heavily invested in angrily defending john james and starting a campaign to save him thats just pathetic this is the first time i have ever criticised a moderator on the board in the time i have been a member here but the time is here for them to step back and have a little think about things. The people involved need to seperate their housemate fantime from their moderating duties.

[Twilight]

Not really, i'm kinda awkward and shy in real life, whereas on here, im really outgoing and kinda bitchy :P

[Shasown]

I tone myself down online, I will be polite here where as in real life if you say something stupid I may just rip into you and tell you how much of a pillock you are.

[ILoveTRW]

Im a bit less of a dick in real life :D

[foxysarah92]

I woulld say i am more flirty confident online than off

[MeMyselfAndI]

i think im quite similar i always say what i think which i need to stop :laugh:

I've just had a look over your infractions and I personally see nothing wrong, It may be a case that your other posts weren't reported and we didn't see them but the posts you got infracted on were. I was the one who gave you the 4 point infraction for the one post and it wasn't out of bias towards you or a certain housemate it was because you broke a number of rules within one post and I'd have given that infraction to anyone who had done the same.

I've always said I don't mind discussing any punishments I hand out as long as things are kept civil but I don't appreciate being branded a biased mod. I stand by my infraction and instead of blaming us you should look closer to home and see how you can avoid infractions in future.

i will say though dezzy it wasnt the fact you infracted me for that post it was just the severity for somebody not serving any infraction points 4 without warning was excessive.
but hey ho.

[Danielle1232]

I woulld say i am more flirty confident online than off

Other way around with me i think.I'm so scared online and dont flirt but i do all the time when I'm not online:blush:

[Princess]

I think I'm the same,I've met 2 people I know online and they both said I acted the exact same.

[Patrick]

I'm abit more short tempered and aggressive with others offline.

I talk more online than I would at school though and I only really talk about BB online, which if I mention it in school or something like that I get slated.

I can have a laugh with other people that share the same black humour as me but I can't offline.

[AfroMullet]

No, im actually a Rhino in real life as aposed to the cool, afro having male i portray on here.

[ILoveTRW]

You were very lucky to be on 0 tbh, especially after all the **** you have said to me.

If anyone should be pissed about getting an infraction it should be me, I got 3 points for saying that Mario's secret was that he has aids.

I only personally use warnings if I feel something isn't worth an infraction. The post in question was deserving of an infraction, for insulting a member you get a point, since you insulted two that's two points and sicne you baited them at the same time that's two more.

Seems fair enough to me. As for being too severe, if anything we're too soft in comparision to other forums.

[Shaun]

I'm much quieter and less camp in real life. I sound quite posh apparently (you've seen the videos) but I rant a lot less than I do online.

[foxysarah92]

I think with me people online know me more than people in reall life

[Iceman]

I reckon I'm nearly the same, i flirt and say things kind of tongue in cheek to girls, also if someones pissing me off they get one word answers (you know now if youve pissed me off)

Hey man, I like your user name. Did you intentionally name yourself after a serial killer or are you not aware of Richard 'the iceman' Kuklinski? :tongue:

[Tom4784]

He might have named himself after the X-man :tongue: but I'm pretty sure it's to do with racing, Schumacher's nickname I think.

He is a distant relative of Kuklinski :wink:

I had better keep quiet then! :o:tongue:

[Ramsay]

hells yeas im the exact same IRL as i am here
cant be arsed to be any different
however i never get into arguements on here ..but IRL i am in them..alot:laugh:
but i guess thats cus reading something online doesnt anger as much as hearing it
and on here i mostly keep to myself but IRL im always real sociable and i dont keep to myself at all lol..i guess im just really shy on here as opposed to what im like in real life
ok ive stopped rambling on lol
but other then those things though im the exact same heh

[bansheewails]

I bitch alot in real life and swearing is my forte!

[Kerry]

I have more confidence on here but sadly on this forum my happier nature doesn't get to come across as much anymore. In 'real life' I love joking about and laughing

[InOne]

I guess real life was an odd way to word the title as this isn't exactly imaginary. But you get what I mean lol

[Kerry]

Nah nothing wrong with that. Such things make me laugh though. Like when the HM's describe the 'outside world' I always think you're still in it. It's not another planet :joker:

Kimi "The Iceman" Raikonnen 2007 F1 World Champion.

[MrGaryy]

Yeah I'd say I'm very similar to how I am in real life. I think when I talk to people I know from real life online I seem the same.

I'm definitely as argumentative and strongly opinioned in real life and I think I'm generally as up front too. I'm probably a little bit more rationale in real life if anything.

Wow, you must be angry.

[Z]

I think I am the same as I am in real life on here!

[MTVN]

I think I probably take myself less seriously in real life than I do online, and I'm probably more annoying as well lol. Although I only really talk about Big Brother, Politics or the NFL online (strange mix, I know), none of which I really talk about in real life because, with the possible exception of the NFL, they are things which my friends think are quite sad and aren't interested in

[astrozombiee]

I still hate confrontation, I stand up for myself about as much...' I'm about as annoying (:L), chatty and talk in a kitsch-ish kind of way,
I know when I have nothing to say on here I refer to old posts OR start talking about nothing in a mind-numbingly random way, which is what Im like in real life. I cant shut up!

[Stephanie]

i'm pretty much the same online as offline but i'm probably a bit more hyper offline (if that's possible haha :L)
