In the real world, I don't exist.

Hey Lightship

Whether you exist or not is unimportant.

In the real world, I don't exist.

This is the real world.

Nothing serious, just wondering how different is your online 'persona' to your real life (fleshy) one?

I'm much nicer in person than I am on here.

If you don't talk to real people then who do you talk to?

I don't get out much. Perils of working from home.

What other life forms? You can talk to dogs?

We've all been THERE!!

[Cliphead]

In this case I mean when you have a conversation or interact with other life forms who are physically located within your immediate area...

I'm just as witty, funny and charming in real life as I am on here.

So in essence what you are saying is that it takes no modification of behaviour for you to come across as a complete chunt on here then? Never doubted it!!

What do you mean, real life? I don't talk to real people.

The other question is, which persona is most 'real'? What you say online or what you say to your mates/spouse?

In this case I mean when you have a conversation or interact with other life forms who are physically located within your immediate area (lets say in the same room). In my opinion each persona is real and you can't really quantify one as being more real than the other (unless you are a sockie). Your online persona will more than likely be the persona you use for physical interactions, but slightly more extreme than normal.

If you don't talk to real people then who do you talk to? Can you see dead people?

I don't think I'm any different on here than in real life.

[shaunbhoy]

No wonder you have no friends.

I have plenty of friends. So many in fact, I do not need to walk on eggshells when on here................you pasta-munching surrender monkey.

[Halo Jones]

And you are the same - you are a nice person, just like on here.

Aww bless

[MarillionFan]

That sums it up very well for me. I am certainly not as stuck up my own arse in real life as I am on here. This is just text on a screen that lets me explode if I need it with little comeback and say what I want without too many repercussions. I am very different in real life due me being a little more tactful about what I say.

Even though I am known for speaking my mind IRL I do have the ability to scan thought before engaging mouth otherwise I'd be driving away customers in my shop and it would be a big failure.

Oh!

Oh here we go, you're going to try and make this philosophical, aren't you?
