I think I'm different in person. I'm more likely to speak my mind in person because it is easier to defend myself than online where many things that you say/type can be easily misunderstood. My views are generally ultra conservative (although after being a school teacher for a year, I realize what crap "No child left behind" is). I don't like being attacked by people I don't know and who judge me based on one thing I said on an online group chat, instead of taking my comments in context with what they know about me. I am myself in the fact that I try to be honest, give decent advice, and be supportive and encouraging when I can.

I'm a lot crabbier in person (think Ouiser in Steel Magnolias );)

I think I'm just as swell in either one.

Real life AND online, wow!


I'm surprised there are so many people saying they bite their tongues on GC. I'm the opposite -- I'm definitely much nicer offline than I am on this board.

Me too. There's no way I'd call people out for being such idiots offline as I do on GC.

Stop lying...you're a bitch regardless. :p

I used to be the same both on here and in real life, back when I first started on GC. I would comment on almost every post. But now that people seem to attack others for the opinions and/or questions(either flame-worthy or not) they choose to state, I prefer to keep mostly quiet and seldem post. Although I do read this almost daily! I am much more outgoing and vocal in real life.

Hell, just turning ? today, I feel I can speak my mind on line or in person.

So, what at My age your going to friggen fire me!

Try to be nice to people who are nice, for those that arent Screw Off!:)

Color Me Real!!!!!!!!1:cool:

For the most part, the things I post on GC I would say in real life. In real life you might get a little bit more detail...on GC I get lazy and don't want to type my entire thought.

I don't know. I am probably in some aspects the same, some very different. I tend to get along with a lot more people though in real life though vs. the world of GC. Which is why I have stayed out of a lot of discussions lately on this site. What is going on in my real life these days has taught me to choose my battles wisely and GC is definately not one of them. There are certain people on here though that I have found to be annoying, inappropriate or straight up bitchy and rude, that I wonder how they really are in "real life". I wonder if we would actually get along.

don't hate the player, hate the something something

hey, at least i'm honest online and in real life - so are my 94 sock puppets that post agreement to every post I make, because i got the time

I'm pretty argumentative in real life as well, but yeah, I almost never say "kill yourself" like i do on here - I probably use the word "fuck" more in real life, though?
