Would people who know you in real life be surprised by your opinions and the things you say on this board? Is your online personality here the "real" you or is the live and in person you the "real" you?
As for me, I think my husband would be surprised by my posts but my immediate family (siblings who grew up with me) would not be surprised. I think the online version of me is definitely more real and honest. |
No, I am who I am. |
Nope, it's the real me. I have an overwhelming need for people to like me-even on an anonymous board-how sad am I? |
People would recognize me. I'm sure they do. |
No. People generally like me in real life. They think I'm sweet, nice, etc. The me on DCUM is the real me. I could care less if people like me. |
I might be a bit more outspoken here (kind of on the shy side IRL) but generally not that different. |
No. |
No. It's pretty much I YAM WOT I YAM. |
I've always known who you are. But you'll never guess why. heh. |
No. Life's to short to be someone you're not. Therefore, I'm a snarky asshole wherever I go. |
I'm a mix of snarky, sarcastic and empathetic both on DCUM and in real life. Except at work, I'm a very nice and quiet person at work, if only they all know what I really think about them. Fuckers! |
OP, you must see the world in black and white. Because, there are many layers of responses for a given topic. Also consider the time, mood, etc.
No, my husband would not be surprised by my posts but my DD's teacher might be. |
Totally depends on how much I've had to drink when I post. |
You made me snort coffee up my nose. And I'm the same way. I'm nice in a professional capacity and with casual acquaintances/people I've just met. My friends get the full blast of snark because the know me well enough to know I snark because I care. |
Here here! Is it too early for a cocktail? |
