Is your personality the same in real life....away from DU?

[terrya]

That is, are you more inhibited in real life, away from the Lounge? Or are you the same?

The good folks who I'll meet 09/05 at Moody's will discover that I'm more inhibited in real life. I'm not so loquacious as I am in the Lounge. :-)

[arcane1]

1. no, not at all

in real life I'm a smart-ass

:P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. just the same

self centered highly opinionated flirt :evilgrin:

[JuniperLea]

3. same

here, there and everywhere:)

'cept i tend not to talk politics to the general population. only friends and family, and another board where i am a regular.

[UrbScotty]

4. I am the same way

...though I have been coming out of the shell.

[XNASA]

5. That will depend on whether or not Mrs. XNASA tags along...

If she comes to Moody's, I will be on my best behaviour.

If I'm solo..............watch your ass!!!!!!!

:crazy:

[terrya]

7. Yikes! And the alcohol will be flowing!

Hmmmm...we'll have to see what happens. :-)

[Placebo]

6. I'm exactly the same.

But I guess I'm the rarity.

[iconoclastic cat]

8. How exactly could anyone get a read on someone's personality online?

I also doubt that I could guess at the impression that I make on other DUers.

[dolo amber]

9. Hmmm...well, I'm obnoxious

in both places, so I s'pose it would just be the degree. I mean, you can put me on ignore here, but in real life...;)

[djeseru]

10. Pretty much the same.

Socially inept where ever I may go...

[jonnyblitz]

11. pretty much except I am MUCH MUCH happier in real life

and don't gripe as much in reality as I do on the political forums here. In the real world and amongst the great unwashed its "jonnyblitz for kerry" with minimal complaining, on DU I express my concerns more openly...

[BigMcLargehuge]

12. the same

though I am not as often called upon to lock things in a humorous manner

[theboss]

13. I'm pretty much always a prick

Or so my parents tell me.

[matcom]

14. scary as it is.....

ABSOLUTELY!! :D

[Amaya]

22. Nah....

you're not so much of a perv in real life.
:)

[matcom]

25. heh. YOU of ALL people should know THAT isn't true

:7

[Amaya]

27. Oh come on...

You're always a total gentleman in real life.

Oops, am I ruining your reputation? :evilgrin:

[eyesroll]

15. Most of the time? No.

I do not flirt as shamelessly in real life. (Course, that only started a few weeks ago here, so who knows...)

I do not go around telling complete strangers about my misadventures at vintage stores.

Gotta love the written word, though.

[flamingyouth]

16. Yes

Pretty much so. :)

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

17. Yup.

[GingerSnaps]

18. Some people make things up

I'm honest but I have known a couple of people that made a whole lifestyle up and others believed it.

Moody Bible Institute?

[johnnie]

19. I'm more inebriated in real life....

Oh, inhibited....never mind.

Actually, I am more talkative off of DU. But then again, more people respond to me offline. I don't really feel like I post to my potential on here, I am much more expressive in real life.

[liontamer]

20. I may actually be

less inhibited in real life.

[redqueen]

21. If anything I'm less inhibited in real life.

Probably more or less the same. I'm boring like that.

[Amaya]

23. In real life I'm more opinionated

and a little meaner.

[SarahB]

24. In real life....

I'm more reserved in a way, but also more of a smartass at times too. I'm definitely more boring I think.

[Bunny]

26. No, in real life I'm incredibly charming, witty, confident, and

kind. On DU, I am a complete turd! ;)

[Bundbuster]

28. I'm alot more political in real life

Some of my friends call me when they're bored, just to get a good bu$hCorp/fundie/racism/globalism/media/PNAC rant out of me. That's also the reason why my family hasn't called me in over a year.

[RebelOne]

29. Yep, I am as much a bitch in real life as I am here.

[Deja Q]

30. Ditto!

I'm infinitely more inhibited, to say the very least...

[EstimatedProphet]

31. I expect so

The biggest difference is that in real life I talk more than typing.

[curse10]

32. I think I'm pretty much the same, but ask other DUers that've met me

they'd probably be a better judge :-)

[WilliamPitt]

33. Pretty much the same

I'm told that I am less of a douchebag in person than I am on-line. Of course, I tell the person telling me that to go fuck themselves, so go figure.

[Zomby Woof]

34. Margin of error of about 15%

Make of that what you will.

[KittyWampus]

35. Yes, I Am Very Direct But You Can't See My Smiles Online

I should learn to use emoticons more often.

[MissMillie]

36. I'm the same almost everywhere I go

I'm a little bit more relaxed w/ my family... but that's normal, right?

[rasputin1952]

37. Different...I am much more of a "people person", I like...

to get into conversations, and have a great sense of humor that just doesn't come off on the net.

This thing is cold and impersonal, and although DU'ers are the best of the bunch....I am very different in person....:)
