    What type of personality do you really have? Do you have the same personality in person that you do on-line? Some of us here seem to be rather private and others appear to be very good at communication. Some are shy, others are bold. Are you generally good natured or are you touchy?....I tend to be personable and humorous. What about YOU???

    I see myself as a bit more reserved in person than I am online.

    Oh, oh! Here's a great quote I've been wanting to use and your question is perfect for it:

    You're always a little disappointing in person because you can't be the edited essence of yourself. --Mel Brooks

    On this board, we have time to edit ourselves (usually, if we take the time). In person, speech is much faster. However, I think you can maybe get an even better idea of a person because of the time involved in presenting what we really mean instead of a rapid back-and-forth conversation.

    To answer your original question, I'm usually very outgoing, but like to keep to myself too.

    LEW, I thought that might be the case about you. Animal, you are more reserved here? I wouldn't mess with you anywhere...lol

    I am far more reserved here, there are many experiences I could tell on here in relation to the WT, but feel a little guilty in pasting up family experiences for everyone to dissect and criticise. ( not that they are'nt wide open to criticism)

    I tend to be far more general and vague on the board then in real life. I prefer to relate my troubles in chat, I guess there, I am far more myself.

    Those off the board that have met me know I am pretty much a 'what you see is what you get' type of person...my offline and online persona are much the same.

    This does not include the days preceding my moon cycle as I can be quite sensitive, emotional and even moody...this is true, I tell you no fibs

    Painfully shy in real life...unless I feel REALLY comfortable with people.

    Most people I think view my being shy as standoffish, or sad, or something silly like that.

    I think that's why I dig the internet so much, I feel like here I am the me that I never let out cuz I am too scared of her.

    I am much thinner on the internet than in real life and I dress better.

    Oh, I don't know. I am not good at introspection. I think you should ask outnfree. She spent a good bit of time with me at the Michigan Apostafest.
