Salaam,

On this forum, I find it easier to communicate my thoughts while in real life I prefer to keep my opinions to myself. I'm also very shy in real life. I can be random and say weird things online which would horrify my parents. My parents would probably send me off to Pakistan to get married after reading some of my posts LOL... ;D
 
I probably am. I am not good at communitating sometimes outside of the internet.
 
Yes I am totally different than on online.Specially on Ib...Reason may be nobody knows me except my name
Usually I talk very much only at home.But not in public,or If I am surrounded by group of people.seriously I have a phobia in public speech..
I never used to participate in any event at school or college.Rarely participated.When I got late for lecture ,than i never enter into the class.Because now every body will have attention or they look towards me.I used to wait outside of class If someone,any of my classmate come late than only i enter into the class.
I really hate public speech or don't like if someone pays attention towards me..specially boys.
But at home and at IB i am totally opposite.

No..no..nobody...he..here...k..knows...I..I..I am...a...a...st..st...stutterer.



But I can speak well on the few people in a relaxed atmosphere. :)
 
I am the same usually :D

Same jolly person. But only with people I know. I am known for being a bit weird, quiet, random, happy, funny etc.. by different people. Im just different with people I know well and those I dont know well.

I suppose online I write about things I probably wouldnt talk about in real life because those kind of topics are not talked about often.
:statisfie
 
i dont actualy try to act differently but may be you would find me different offline.. thats just because while being on an open forum or place having both the genders and unknown people we (specially females) have to take much care of our behaviour and speech
 
Salaam,

The same online and offline a tad crazy,enjoy having a laugh and going off on a tangent :p

You make it sound like a dreadful thing; being sent to pakistan, why so ? :)
 
im a very shy person and private person i dont really like people known my personal business. also i find it hard to speak my mind in person cos i dont like confrontation. i feel more free to speak my mind online.

haha, same with me..
 
hmm that means all the backbenchers and quietos of the class make it big online, real big!

oh gosh what am I doing here :skeleton:

well I'm not too different in real, but its a plus that you can edit whatever you write online, in real life, you have to be careful of what you speak. I would encourage people to develop communication skills though, it is not impossible to say what you write about so well, with effort and prayers one can get close to zakir nayek :D he was, is actually a stutterrer too in real life.
 
I feel the same way as some of the posts above, Its much easier to share your opinions on here then in out side of the net.
 
I am probably the same here as i am in real life. I don't talk much in real life or in the virtual world. :hmm:
 
The difference of me between online and offline is...i can easily quote and refer to a some research or news/info when online since i tend to share some new things that i've stumbled into but when online i kind like be quite because my references are limited :hiding:. I'm still talkative i think but nowadays i tend to limit my talk to only that i want to and try my best to avoid negative people.

i'm very girlish eventhough someone said (i wish i can tag that person *sigh) that i'm a middle age woman :heated: ^o) which i began to laugh while start talking. and is not easy to do it if you're typing it doesn't comes naturally.
 
my morals, values, the core of who i am.. are the same online and off... the only difference is i prefer online sometimes because i can edit what i would be saying before i say it. I have asperger's syndrome and I don't always have the best filter in person especially if i am passionate about something.

I find it easier to debate someone online. So much easier to verbally thrash another member. :skeleton: In real life, I just shut up and listen to the other person rant.

It is good to sometimes remain silent lest you speak a word of no benefit. Also best way is to show the other your listening, that way you have time to control yourself and reply with a patient and calm reply inshaa'Allaah..

However, I remind myself before I remind others ofcourse..

whether we are same online and offline or pretend to be different online, those who have met us online will never find us same if they see us offline... that's what i think because our body language is some thing that helps others to perceive our words in a way we want.. In meeting online we cant exchange our facial expressions etc (although we have some things like smilies and other marks but they are not always enough) and in online community these are only words through which we draw a personality sketch of each other..
Also the fact that every one is not perfect in expressing ones self is there..
 
I think ppl are in most cases different in different environments depending on how comfortable they feel. A person may feel more comfortable and open on their own than with real company. The bigger the real audience the less open!
