Yes, although I have more of a potty mouth in real life!

I don''t think I''m any different in real life than I am here.

No. For the sake of being honest, I''m going to let you guys in on a little secret. I''m the girl you''d get sick of if your brother were dating me. I can be completely selfish, materialistic, and bitchy.

Lots of threads have been created about monster FSIL''s and I just keep my mouth shut cause I have no room to talk. Usually it''s only SO that sees this side of me and I have been trying to fix/work around these things my whole life. But hey, I''m an only child and I was SPOILED rotten. I never touched a broom or a washer/dryer until I was 19.

The side of me that PS sees is my good side that everyone in my life knows is there, but it gets overshadowed by my temper sometimes.

Don''t let that scare any of you off, LOL!

I''m nice. I promise.

For the most part, I''m nice unless you''re not nice to me. I envy all of the women on PS who can just shut their mouths and let the other person say/think whatever they want. If I don''t like you, there''s no way you don''t know.

For the most part. It''s always hard to full be yourself thru typing, so I think I''m more tempered than I am IRL. Too lazy to type my full self out all the time.
 
For the most part, yes. I am not very talkative unless it''s something I care about or interests me. That''s why I am mostly on the mommies thread.
 
Nope - IRL I don''t really think before I talk. Here, I edit my posts about a zillion times before I hit submit.

I waiver between being goofy and having an extremely dry wit in real life. That doesn't really translate here, I think.


I also quote more movies in real life.


Lol about quoting movies, I DO THAT TOO!

I don't quote movies, but I do break into song. Often. Usually terrible '80s pop, 'cause i was raised listening to radio.

I don't do that too often on here (though it happens occasionally, as evidenced by a recent Colored Stones post that everyone tactfully ignored, hehe). Other than that, I'm pretty much the same.
 
IRL I am wayyyy more sarcastic. You might get a glimpse of that here now and then. But try to tone it down a bit. But for the most part I am pretty much the same here as in real life. Add some caring and some snark and that''s me....

Haha. I can''t help it, I just honestly don''t see any reason to be nice to people that disrespect me. If that''s a character flaw, then whatever.

Almost. I just cuss a lot more. Terribly sarcastic and funnier IRL. More willing to argue my points. And I''m more brutal with my honesty. I sugarcoat things to NO END on PS.

And if I don''t like you IRL, you know it. Here on PS, I''m more subtle. Believe me.

Oh hush. You guys have nothing to be afraid of. I''m just not very subtle in my snubs/blow offs/whatever. My friend would probably say I can be very blatant about it. Body language is key if I have to be in someone''s presence. If I have to be around someone I don''t like, avoidance, but I''ve also been known to tell people off.

Age must have mellowed me, because I honestly don''t care if people know if I like them or not. They may not know. I just don''t spend any further energy on them, positive, negative or otherwise.

I''m kind of the same way. I care less about whether people know if I like them than I do about staying happy. So if I''m constantly trying to get out of being in the same room with them, maybe it''s obvious, but when I have to I bite my tongue and put on the happy face because it''s easier for me to go to my mental safe place than it is to have a ton of animosity floating around. (Plus the person that really makes my claws come out is BF''s sister, and that''s a reaction that I have to keep firmly in check.)
 
I am more blunt in real life.

But just as loyal.

In real life its easier to tell who might actually absorb and/or heed advice ... so I usually only give it to those I think are ready to hear it.

In real life I''m satisfied to quietly chuckle at show-offs & blow hards ... here it annoys me more because I can''t always tell if others are onto them too. Most of the time there are clues though. Right, Kaleigh?

Otherwise, I''m mostly the same online & off.

That''s clever.
I think I''m pretty close to who I am IRL. Although I''m much more likely to go ''in-depth'' here!!!

When I''m on PS, and my husband walks into the office, he checks the computer screen and says things like, ''Ranting again?''

I do like to chat! About things that my husband doesn''t care about !
(He''s science, I''m arts)

Yes, why wouldn''t it be?

I actually feel more shallow online. I would never talk about diamonds in real life the way I do online! Other than that, I'm the same BIOTCH!

I do. I probably bore them to death. "I like O diamonds!" On and on. They're probably thinking-

LOL!

I''m nicer online.
 
I don''t know if I even have a personality online. I just kinda say what I think, I don''t tend to filter myself all that often (unless I''m writing for a poster who I know can''t "take" what I want to say to them).

I will say that I drop things faster in "real life" than I do online. Most likely because it''s easier to tell when it''s a lost cause when speaking in person.


ETA: I have to say, it''s interesting when people describe in-person communication as "real life." What does that make this - "pretend life?" I don''t think of communication on PS (or any online/text based communication medium) as being less "real" than "real life," it''s just a different method of communication in which we happen to be exposed to people we wouldn''t have been otherwise.

I think that issues arise when people think of online communication as being entirely separate from "real life." It''s much easier to forget that the person/people you''re "talking" to are real people, and when that happens, it can lead to all sorts of problems.

Yeah, I dont either. I do hand out compliments when someone gets something new, or breaks out a fun piece. I just say, what a lovely necklace, dress, handbag... etc.

I do think I put foot in mouth both here and IRL.
 
yep
 
For those that know me well in real life I am much snarkier and sarcastic but you have to know me well for that side of me to come out. On PS I try to be a nice little girl so that I don''t offend anyone but if you could really see what I''m thinking.........
6.gif
 
I talk more in person, and can be more forgiving.
