How do you differ IRL from your online persona?

[wowhead]

This is me. What you see is what you get.

[cleo29]

I think I am the same. I do talk a lot. Sorry to those who have met me!

[eb777888]

I'm the exact same IRL.

Haha, I cuss more on here than IRL.

[LauraMoser]

I'm pretty similar. Maybe a little more open here than IRL. I tend to keep to myself IRL.

[MWOS]

married with three kids and work in banking

[walterismydog]

Pretty much the same shit you see here.

On fb I don't necessarily post "bad" things that are happening in my life, so I suppose my fb persona is a little more just a sugarcoated version of myself.

[elleblue]

I'm the same here as in rl.

[bania]

I think I'm the same. I'm definitely not 'creating a new image' for myself.

[Deleted]

I think I'm about the same. Maybe funnier online, lol. I have to think out my jokes.

IDK. Anyone who has met me irl want to comment?

[chedominique]

I'm pretty much the same but I'm quieter IRL.

ETA:
And I curse more in IRL.  I have no idea why I filter myself up here.

[walterismydog]

Oh, and I can't post gifs in real life.

Which is really a shame.

[Deleted]

I'm a man. With a moustache.

[eddy]

I swear more on here.

[justkly]

Everyone loves me IRL.

That's because you have kids around. I don't know what to do with my potty mouth once I have kids.. 

It's hard. Once they start repeating you, it's real easy to clean that shit up, lol. 

[koopa17]

Umm I'm much snippier in real life. I am an extremely irritable person and it shows, lol.

[ProfessorArtNerd]

I am DELIGHTFUL both IRL and around this bitch

[eddy]

Also my humor is a bit more brash on here. I think there is a certain type of humor that is appreciated on message boards that doesn't translate with all people.

Like I would never call my kid an asshole IRL. But on here it is FUNNNNNNY.

I've been told I'm very similar IRL as I am online. I am much more reserved IRL, and I am super, super shy until I get comfortable but I think I've gotten fairly good at hiding that. So...the same, just quieter.

[mrsukyankee]

I'm the same.

[Wrath0fKuus]

I wave my arms around a lot when I talk. You probably don't really get that through text.

Other than that, I guess you'd probably have to ask someone who has met me.

[meggers5]

In real life, I'm actually a horse.

I was kind of surprised when we met. I expected a full on poop discussion during brunch.

This is so true. I'm finding that the more I live on the internet, the less my sense of humor is translating IRL unless it's with other live-on-the-internet people. The trick is to identify your forum/tumblr/reddit users swiftly.

I think I'm the same. @nymeriah Am I?

[4speedy]

I have no idea if I even have an online persona.  If you can tell me how I'm perceived, I'll tell you how I differ.

[CurlyQ284]

I cuss more and talk more IRL.

I'm also less whiney/negative. I enjoy the outward appearance that everything is lovely. Look at this picture of me with a puppy and a rainbow in the background!

[alzi]

I talk more IRL I think. Lately I'm more antisocial in real life.

[iamali]

I'm the same I think.

Except here I pretend everyone thinks I look like Sofia Vergara. ::hair flip::
