I’m smarter on the internet that in real life, because on the internet, before I say something, I try to look it up if time permits. Otherwise I’m pretty much the same.
I have essentially two public personae: One is very shy, insecure and silent, the other is extroverted, boisterous and noisy. The second only comes out around people I like. My personality here on the board is more like the second, because I really do like you guys (sniff).
I’m much more likely to brag about my accomplishments and show how blazingly intelligent I am here than IRL. However, I do keep my smoldering sexuality well hidden here on the board. I would IRL, too, but it just won’t stay hidden.
From the Asleep at the Wheel CD, Bob Wills Rides Again:
“It must be hard to lose your wife.”
“Sometimes it’s damn near impossible!”
<<<<<<<Think of this place as a ** large room that you enter **, and everyone is off in * little circles talking *. In RL you’d not just barge in and start talking, you’d hang out and listen, then comment when something appropriate to your area of knowledge comes up, right??>>>>>>>
Let’s see if we can try this again. This was to OgreFade who said he didn’t fit in anywhere. I was telling * him * that he didn’t have to be the center of attention, and that if he ** compared the message board to how he would behave in real life ** he’d relax and have more fun here.
- That * better??
