Poll question: Do you say things to people on DU you would never say to someone's face? |
|
"Yeah, why don't you come over here and say that?"

4. Yes, but for different reasons. |
|
I say things about how nice some women look and how great they are on DU, but in real life, I'd get punched. Yeah, I should have just voted for the punching option. Anyhow, I'm more outgoing on DU than in real life.

Posts can't get deleted in Real Life. I also swear more in Real Life.

7. I've always been kinda proud of being WYSIWYG |
|
Ever since I've been on the internets — it's been about 13 years now — I haven't really understood the need for pretention. I may be a bit more flirtatious online than IRL, but that'd be it.

I'm much more open about being a lesbian and an atheist on DU than I am IRL. Being open about those two things around here could make me the brunt of discrimination or get me attacked/killed.

In a roomful of people, I tend to blend into the wallpaper. And I like it that way.

In the early days of the Internet(s) I posted some things I deeply regretted, and realized I had allowed myself to be seduced by the anonymous nature of the net into giving my lesser self free reign.

18. The difference is that |
|
when I'm posting sometime I can think it over first, so a lot of what I say here isn't said in my typical day to day conversation but not because I'm "not keeping it real" I would say the same things I'm just not quick enough to think of them usually in the midsts of a real time conversation.

I used to be far more flirtatious and open on the Internet than IRL, but this summer I realized I'm now like this in real life, too.
So, yeah. This is me. :)

I have a longtime policy of not saying anything about anyone that I wouldn't say to their face (keeps me out of a lot of trouble) and it kind of carries over into my online life.
At the same time, I'm not afraid to be honest in person or otherwise.

:) I say things on here that I would say to people I knew well. I wouldn't say a lot of that stuff to complete strangers, though. That means you people are pretty special to me. :P

22. What you see is what you get |
|
And you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Okay...truth be told, I'm probably a little mousier IRL. I tend to blend into the wallpaper a bit. But I'm workin' on it.
