    I am MUCH more of an extrovert here than I am in real life. I am also much more likely to divulge infowmation than I would ever be in real life. I am here like I wish I could be in real life.

    Chloey Online is the alter ego of Chloey Offline.

    In real life I have aspergers syndrome. I'm not retarded or anything, but I hate even making eye contact, let alone talking to people. I've actually been told by my psychologist I am selectively mute.. I rarely even say hi unless It's My Very close friends or Family members. I'm insightful and understanding of others, but too quiet for people to realize it. :/

    But on here I'm hyper as &!@*!. and I talk a lot and I'm very clear on my opinions and Sometimes even a bit BRUTALLY honest.. A lot of people would never guess how shy I am in real life. }:-)

    I am a little more of an extrovert online but basically I am exactly the same either way (the shyness or lack of being the only difference)

    I'm slightly different on the internet. I'm very quiet and polite in person and on the internet I speak my mind, maybe a little sarcastic and mean sometimes. Maybe one day all those will bind together to reflect me in person. Minus the mean part, unless I have to be.

    Sometimes grumpy, sometimes nice. But it doesn't depend whether I'm on the net or not, it depends on my mood and who I am talking to.

    Ok, I just wanted to shout (in my head) "DARTH UNICORN!"

    I suppose I am more confident when on the internet in the way I present myself but I don't say anything to someone online that I am not prepared to say to their face.

    I think that most people have a persona, I mean just look at the recent question "Is it okay to be weird?", just about everyone voted Yes, when in reality about 60% of those people would probably be wary of a weird person and call them a "freak" for being different.
  • Gregory... OnyxRaven 2012/07/08 14:42:43

    Sometimes, we erroneously assume people act or think similarly to us. Offline, I've been known to often say "Everyone is crazy (myself included), just to different degrees." There is no clear objective definition of "weird person" since not only does the norm vary over short distances and time spans, but also you, I, and John Doe draw the line at different places for different individual matters.
    Here you've proposed 60% people may have "posed" as more tolerant on this issue online than in real life. What are you basing this figure on: random survey results, comparing online behavior and offline behavior of your specific circle of contacts, or self-reflection?

    It's mostly based on general observation, how the majority of society doesn't accept people that are too different or 'weird', they tend to stare, mock and of course label them 'freaks' and 'weirdos'. Yet on the internet society seems to accept and even encourage these things. I just wish that people could bring some of their online tolerance into their everyday lives, because maybe if that happened the world would be a better place.

    Question for you and @Thegame:
    do you feel that, if you were to talk to everyone offline the same way as you do online right now, that would make you a better person or not?
  • Noobcake Gregory... 2012/07/09 03:11:19

    Yes and no. I AM the person I am online - I am more confident in my interactions and in expressing myself - so I am already that "better person". However, I do think if I was to be as I am online OFFline it would improve my life.

    I'm more social on the Internet, and sometimes I'm more of a bitch than I am off the Internet. /sometimes/ ._.
    I also sound a lot more coherent and I'm less awkward on the Interent because I have more time to think of a response instead of having to say it in person.
