I behave the same in real life,sad,lonely bitter,depressed. The only difference is that it's easy to chat on forums on the internet,then it is to actually talk to people face to face. It's not that I won't talk to people,it's just that people annoy me and get on my nerves.

Actually my alias JoelCool7 is used on all sites. Also my views and what I say is the same regardless of site. Do I behave differently actually no, even if Mod's on some sites or administrators (Journalists) disagree with me I always stand my ground. I accept fault only when I actually mess up which I do, do.

However I was banned from 1UP when I called a few of their journalists (Journalistic integrity) into to question following heavy anti-Nintendo bias.

Much like here where I clash with some users. I do not back down from a debate, I try not to let debates turn into fights. But I never quitely allow for users to insult or talk down about my beliefs. If I see a user under fire for similiar beliefs I always quickly join in.

Also in real life you will find I mirror my online persona. All the poltical and gaming views and such are my real views. Though I sometimes debate topics I disagree with, my core beliefs are identical!

So you always give long drawn out explanations in real life 2?


Actually yah I've been told I always have to explain everything I say and do. Pretty talkative. My friends complain sometimes when I say for example. I hate Justin Beeber, I then say why I hate Justin Beeber. Then my friends always get upset and say yah we know why you hate Justin Beeber.

I've been told its something related to my Autism. I always have to have a reason behind everything I do. I won't do anything without a reason. If given an ear I will explain those reasons.I always have to greatly think everything over. Do I walk on the right side of the side walk, well theirs not much traffic today. Something little like that will be greatly pondered. Then if anyone asks or it comes up I will always go into great overwhelming detail as to why I am doing something.

Its a quirk, some find it annoying, others say its intelligent and find it attractive. I'm not sure what to think about it.

Not really. I have a tendency to speak my mind. I don't think i'm a mean or cruel person but I have a problem with being a little too "blunt" sometimes.



I'm the same persona on the internet as I am on real life conversations. I brutally appreciate honesty and completely abhor the people that use the veil of anonymity as an excuse to be complete dicks.

Yes and no, I act pretty much the same but I hold back a tad on some things in here for the sake of the peace...

Yes...I'm less of a dick in real life.


thats interesting...im actually nicer on the internet.


He's probably in the majority if I'm to guess though.  Think how many discussion there is because of stuff people wouldn't be able to say in real life with a straight face. Also I believe most of the discussions could end in a more reasonable way with the benefits of spoken word and direct contact. I still have faith enough in people for that.



 

 

 

 

 

Definitely.Some would say I'm an assole in real life,can't blame them,since I consider to be one myself from time to time .Here,I'm acting almost like a saint compared to real life,tbh.Mainly because I don't want to get banned + there are some really annoying people in my life that stress me out.



Let me say that, while I'm slowly becoming more shy and reclusive in the real world (In comparison to who I was a couple of years ago), I think that the way I convey myself here is the truest representation of who I am and how I feel. It's just that, without a reason to confront or interact with people like I used to, I'm becoming a big pussy.



i behave same everywhere

just that when you have a debate in real life,you go ligthly but on internet and especially on forums where i know people know equally so i debate in full go

in real world,its hard to find people of the same interest so i just let them go

 

until last year i was shy in real life but now i have become very blunt,i just realised the world doesn't care so i stopped caring and just go with what i want rather than be what is right for everyone as people don't appreciate it and i wasn't moving forward



Pretty much the same everywhere, usually calm and informative except when i let something freak me out, then i have periodic total meltdowns
