How closely does your online personality match the REAL you?

    I don't have a clue how I appear online. In real life I'm probably a bit more quiet...at least at first.

    I've been told by many people that I write like I talk. That is, if you and I were having a conversation, you would find that I sound just like my posts. I am what I am wherever I go. So what you see is what you get. Though, of course, there are a lot of layers beneath what I can reveal here, because of safety and identity issues (mostly to protect my child) So hmmm I guess there is more than what you see...but it's more of the same, and then some. So I guess if you don't like me here you'd really hate me offline LOL.

    Only difference between my speaking and my writing is that I habitually use the words "Dude" and "awww, man!" when I speak, but I don't put them in when I type. What did the WBS...er...WTS call that in the Ministry School? "Word whiskers" I think. I guess I'd have a beard full. That's it...the truth about Essie, I AM the bearded lady! LOL

    Life is too short for multiple personalities, online and off. I wouldn't be able to keep straight who was who. LOL And anyway, I'm a horrible liar. (I mean I'm bad at it, not that I do it all the time LOL)

    :D

    My personality is no different here than if you were talking to me face to face. When I see some punks try to bully other posters here, I wonder if they'd ever do that to their face. I doubt anyone would try to intimidate me in person.

    pretty close.

    Except I'd say I'm a bit more intense in person.

    I appear much taller online than I really am in person.

    I have no clue. I do tend to type what I feel rather than speak how I feel in person. I'm much more quiet in real life and tend to listen more than talk. Hey, with only 1700 posts over 6 years, there ya go. That should give you an idea.

    Maybe because it is much harder to take something back after you've spoken it as opposed to only thinking it.

    It's probably pretty close to my one on one conversations. With groups in real life I'm more of an onlooker. I think. What do I know anyway?

    I believe there are many experiences we share in life , each one being unique. It's been said that these experiences shape our outlook and the people we are and become.

    In recent months my beliefs have been shaken to the core and feel that I need someone to share my feelings with..

    I'm half way through CoC...
