Internet Personality?

Do you find that some people that you know in real life can have a very different persona on the internet?
For example, someone who is very shy but can chat for hours on the net? Or someone who is very nice in real life and turns into some crazy flaming troll once they get behind a keyboard.
Do you find it odd or funny?

hi hvedra, i am shy person myself or should i say conservative coz i talk less with people i don't know, but yeah i have to agree internet makes it easier for me to express more freely, but it is still me, it is me on the internet i mean, if i were not shy enough i would have been saying things like i do it here, written medium is most comfortable for me, although i am a little conservative still when people spend more time with me i can slowly open up myself to them... well if you talk about the flaming and all, i can never do it coz i have said i am the way i am on the internet and i don't cause such silly things just for the sake of having some fun, i don't like people who do it.... i don't want to see them here on mylot at least... have a nice day hvedra.

Ive seen the first thing, about people that are different online than in person...Im more open ive noticed online, and say more, im able to think through what im saying and say things clearer online for some reason...Its interesting, but i think it has to do alot with confidence and like... self esteem issues ya know? Im not sure..Most of the time they end up being different in some way, or i find out something new, ive met only a couple of people that are the same in person and online..

haha thats funny because i'm the one who's shy in person with people i don't know but can talk all day and night to a total stranger online. i never meet said strangers though as that is fairly stupid unless you know someone who knows them i think that anyway i know not everyone who does it gets killed but it happens enough to bother me.

Hello Hvedra,
Yes, I do fined that out. Even on dating sites. It is strange and always wonder it because we do see there faces etc. Sometimes I wish when we meet in person they are like when we talk in the internet oor the phone. Then we meet it like we clam up... it becasue we see there flaus on the flesh or there tone is differnt than online. Sometimes after the meeting and we do not talk and then few months pass we talk it like we are best friends so it can work out in the long run.
Thanks and Have a great day
Sincerely Unique16
