I don't know about the rest of you, but I need to meet people in person to see how they act and their mannerisms. What about you?

I mean, online is okay and all, but we are meeting people's online persona's (sp) and not necessarily who they are. My online persona outta be a klutz...

Do you find yourself more assertive, talkative, shy, outgoing, etc when online as compared to real live in-your-face meetings?

the people in real life, don't want to listen to me, don't want to get to know me, don't want to have a conversation with me, don't want to spend time with me, don't have time for me.

but the people online, well, well, well :)

So "online" is the great equalizer?

without online communitys, and even just the internet itself. I would have passed away long ago. and nobody would have noticed, or cared.

In person I am very shy..online I have no clue..I guess my shyness come out somewhat

The fact you come on and post shows you are getting over the shyness a bit, I would think.

Tizar, don't brood on death, live life as best you can!

Dudeeeeeeeeee............

This is me...........

I'm just as big an azz in person as I am online.
No pretence......so chit......

I'm just a smartazz!!!!!

It's hard be both alone, and unloved.

I'm tough, but I'm not made of stone.

Thanks, I don't think of death as an escape, not anymore anyway. But, sometimes the thought just makes me appriciate that I live on this planet, and I can just love the beauty of it, if nothing else :)

Pretty much the same except I would laugh in person more.

As far as I know, I'm the same in person as I am here. Why be any different?

I'm very quiet in real life, I suffer from high levels of stress. My stress levels are much lower online, as I'm in a much calmer state of mind :)

Do you just chat with people online, or do you eventually meet in person?

I met with a lady that I knew online once, her final verdict was that I'm creepy

Ah. Well, good luck for next time.

Thanks she did buy me a whole pack of mars bars, before she even knew anything about me, know that's what I call creepy

I am quiet when I first meet people in person because I tend to be loud and rowdy as you get to know me. I think I was the same way when I joined on here

Why was that creepy?

would you buy food for people that you know nothing about?

It's just a creepy thing to do. At least by my own standards anyway.

You didn't get to know anything about her before meeting? I would think that if you were meeting, there was some sort of interest there, whether it was friends or more. So no, I don't think giving you some candy would have been weird.
