Anyone feel like their online persona is completely different from their real one?

I'm sure you do, as I do. But what about dating sites, are you different on Mingle2? if so, do you think it is a good thing?

Well good, I think it's hard to be the same person, see someone who is very serious irl and never smiles could be a guy in the forums here making everyone laugh etc it allows you to be what you can't be irl.

But yeah I do agree 'fakery' is bad

No because I'm me and me I'll stay. shades

If you feel that way about differing personas and what not then you might be bi-polar or may have created different personalities.
That or you just like pretending.
Some people look at the internet as a fresh chance to try being something that they aren't.
In the end it will never lead you to true happiness as you know that's not really you.
So be yourself and stop hiding.

Some interesting and unexpected replies. It might just be me being younger, but I find it hard to be the center of attention, the one to think of somewhere to go with my mates etc but online I'm really good at speaking, anyone else like this?

It's easier to type than to speak which is why so many people text.
Just speak up when you have ideas and say them.
Don't focus on what others might think or you'll never say anything and you'll just go along for the ride rather than drive to your destination.

No, I feel the same. There's no point in acting differently online and in person. If you did act differently, you'd be leading people on, as they'd expect the same in person.

What's the point of being serious off line, but completely different online?

I don't know maybe someone has to be serious offline in front of people like if they're a boss of a company whereas online they can let themselves relax

(checked your profile just to see your age)

Mature thinking for your age.. I prefer to text and chat online. I am shy and feel uncomfortable around some people.

I am the same person though online and in person :)

I can't imagine having to be serious all the time in person and only being able to relax here. I just don't relate to that.
