Online/Off line personas

[Re.TiReD]

I make fish threads? What on Allah's earth does that have to do with anything? If I could hold a fish seminar in real life I would, but I cant so I remain content with LI. I really didnt get that :?

 

[Ansariyah]

It's simple, u called my thread "indirectly" pointless..so ur fish thread came to mind thats all.

 

[Re.TiReD]

Thats my opinion u don't have to believe it.

Ahaa! That's ok then :thumbs_up

 

[Danah]

Some people over do it. It comes across as fake. Thats my opinion u don't have to believe it.

I agree :thumbs_up
because I met some of those people in reality...they act totally different online, its in the forums world in general
but many others are act just the same as they are offline, they dont fake anything whether by exaggerating use of smilies or not even use them at all

Edit: and as I said I am acting exactly the same as reality but I try to be more sane in forums than the way in home

 

[BlissfullyJaded]

These are the culprits^^

Excuse my slowness. But huh? :?

Anyways sis Yanoorah, yep, we're all entitled to our opinions. I hope I didn't offend you. That wasn't my intent at all.

I wonder if people who ask threads to be deleted online often ask for people to forget about conversations whilst they are halfway through it, offline?!

a lot of people do do that bro



many people would so "oh just forget about it!" after a discussion lol like we're robots

We are going off topic here. But, i will add in a "Closed Thread" can still be read by all members. Very few threads are ever deleted.

Now let us return to the original topic, before this becomes a read only thread.

 

[AhlaamBella]

I'm usually the same online as I am offline. Except more confident online for some reason lol

 

[Woodrow]

I tend to believe that we all are like my friend Dr. Kovacs said. We are made of many layers and each situation we show only the layers appropriate for that time and place.

A teacher does not speak to students the same as when speaking to family. A doctor does the same, the Dr speaking to patients is not the same persona as when the same Dr. is speaking to a spouse etc.

So it is with all of us, we use the persona on a forum that is appropriate for that forum. I doubt if many normal, rational people attempt to present a false identity. It is more like the part of their personality that they feel is appropriate and comfortable, is what we see.

So yes most members are probably the same both online and off line when it comes to the basic person, but the language and method of writing will differ.

We are all like beautiful multi faceted diamonds. We are the total of all the facets, but only one facet at a time is ever seen by anybody. Here, we all show our forum facet, but each of us is much more complex and have much more to offer the world.

..asked uncle woodrock ..

haha , it should be uncle Woodrow

 

[S_87]

i dont know how people see me online but i think im pretty much the same in real.
weird/freakish and doped half the time..serious when i need to be otherwise not really.
though online im more reserved and private.

 

[Muezzin]

I'm a bit of a butthead both off- and online. It's just more people find my antics funny online.

I mean, online, pointing out that this thread reminds me of Takumi's thread comes across as sort of helpful, whereas in real life, I might look like a douche.

 

[Tony]

online personas are how we would like to be able to conduct ourselves, offline personas are beaten and mugged by day to day drudgery:-[:-[imsadimsad+o(+o-[:laugh::laugh::laugh::enough!::enough!:

 

[jzcasejz]

This, actually, is a very good thread... jazaakillaah khayr for starting it.

Some people over do it. It comes across as fake. Thats my opinion u don't have to believe it.

Very true.

 

[chacha_jalebi]

this thread is good, its true what sister yanoorah is sayin, like some people are like over the top in both happyness/sadness and it seems like woh blud aint you gettin attention at home

but we dont know for sure, so instead of thinkin who is fake and who isnt its best we just take people for face value, and after all we are on the net, so minor innaaay

thread has died like a leave fallen off a treee
