If I was anything like this in real life, I'd be disowned by my family, left homeless and beaten to death.

I'm fairly similar to my real life self. There are a few differences but no major ones. I'm about as clueless in real life as I am on the internet. Of course my real life self also varies. I act one way in front of certain people and in another way in front of others, so my internet persona is probably identical to one of these... 8^)

i dunno as i get older the way i am on this and day to day is merging together. i looked back at my posts from a while ago and i was just a stupid kid a few years ago on this acting out as much as i could cos i was too shy to do it elsewhere. now the only difference is the style of jokes, cos this place will get more jokes than people i know in real life.

I'm an asshole online. I cuss excesively and such.
on MSN and RL I'm much more laid back, chilled, at ease, respectful, humble and modest.

this is the same with me.

I don't think I ever swear in real life, and if I use faggot it's only with close friends in a mocking sense of people who use it seriously

it's too hard to convey lots of things through text, so I just get lazy and swear and stuff.

Swearing is definitely a difference between me offline and online.  I swear moderately around my friends and when I'm around my family I don't swear at all.

I'm very ill-mannered and say a lot of inappropriate shit here, because I can.  It's good to get it out of my system, because irl I can't.  I have an almighty boss and my parents beat the shit out of me when I was little if I wasn't perfect growing up.  irl I have virtually perfect manners and am the best and most respectful house guest you could ever imagine having. 

Have friends who do really annoying shit in your/other people's houses?  Friends who you're embarrassed to hang out with in public because you know they're going to do something completely stupid and not even realize it?  Yea... me too.  I'm really glad I'm not like that.

I'll admit, the internet makes me a bit more timid...

My posts on GW are more intelligently composed than anything that actually comes out of my mouth in real life-this is because I rarely think before I speak but I put a tremendous amount of thought into what I post. I also don't swear as much on the forums as I do in real life. As far as actual personality goes there isn't any kind of a difference. I only know how to be one person so I can't swap personalities at a moment's notice just because I want to jump online.

For the most part, my personality tends to stay the same.  I think there are some more subtle differences between the two, but they aren't really things that would make me seem like an entirely different person (eg: I believe that I'm a little more willing to voice my opinion on the internet rather than in real life, and things like that.  My mannerisms are pretty much the same)

I'm a bit more blunt on the forum tbh.

Also less English.

hmm im not really sure what the differences are.  i am pretty markedly ridiculous both irl and online.

haha i swear a lot more in real life...

I don't mean to blow my own horn here, but I'm a pretty cool guy in real life! Online though, I like to take it slow and just watch things unfold. I have neither the time nor the interest enough to get heated on the internet.
