Would You Like Me?

There is , as far as I know, no one on Mylot that I don't like. There are, however, some that I like more than others.
This makes me wonder. If we met in real life, and by that I mean face to face, would we like each other as we do online?
What do you think?

People tend to be just a bit different online than they are off. I think, by different, I mean more comfortable with sharing their opinions or being who they truly want to be. If one were to meet another friend from online? I suppose it could go either way. One person might go back to acting as they do in real life, but they could also feel as if they need to somehow "Keep up appearances" so to speak.
I hope this was clear enough to understand! haha. I know what I mean but am not sure that I conveyed it clear enough.

You did, and I agree. I guess you never REALLY know someone, whether online or face to face.

@cindiowens People put up fronts sometimes, whether intentional or otherwise. Talking more about offline interactions, I know sometimes I put on a "polite" tone, whereas with family or friends I'd be more direct and frank about things.
I wonder why that is that we do that?

@ScribbledAdNauseum I suppose because we are more comfortable around them, and do not mind letting our true colors shine through.

I've met one person that I knew on Bubblews, and she's exactly as I thought she would be - a lovely lady. I think character does show through the writing and we can get a good idea of whether we would like them in real life.
And yes, I would like you.

I do think you, @jhunt and I would definitely be friends in the real world. As for @RussTeed and I, we'd definitely be the modern Hatfield and McCoys.

I'm pretty much the same in real life as I am here or anywhere on the internet.

Well, that is good to know. I am sure I would like you in real life then.

I'm sure I'd like you if we met in real life. I like everybody. But admittedly, some folks are easier to warm up to than others. Some folks have personality traits that make approaching them somewhat difficult, but not impossible. You could probably find a fault with everybody that could be used as a reason to dislike them, if you looked. None of us are flawless. But we can all still like each other just the same. It's a choice. It's your choice. Good question!

I suspect that many of us would. I have met two different online writers now (one was Mary75 from here and HP and the B place, who visited a granddaughter here last year, then went bac to FLA and suffered a stroke) and a guy named Javaman who now lives about 100 miles from here. He and I had lunch a while back and talk on the phone sometimes.

I remember Javaman and Mary75. So sorry to hear she had a stroke. Did she recover?

I am sure we would. Your cajun dialect and my southern drawl would be a hoot.

There are friends here on mylot that keep in touch with me through emails and messenger apps. Though we haven't met in person, we are planning to and I think we'll like each other more.
