My friend would always have some big convo on MSN, invite tons of people. We'd chat. So this one person added me (friend's friend) from the convo and she talked like 495830945809 per second. She would never stop. But when I saw her at a mall, (my friend went to say hi to her) she was so quiet. Like she doesn't talk AT. ALL. When I got home, signed on, she started talking like nothing happened, every second.

But yea, are you one of those people who are 'so happy', talkative, etc online, but then when people meet you in real life, you're actually a different person?

Well, only the people I know in real life know the real me.
I guess I am more talkative online than offline but not a totally different person.

I think im the same person lol, well except on aim/msn i get spammed a lot by a lot of buddies so i might take 5 min to reply back to you, whereas in rl, i can reply instantly

Yes, definitely, but seeing as I am behind a computer I have much more time to gather my thoughts and opinions rather than in real life were conversations require you to talk with the flow. Behind a computer you have more time to gather yourself and express yourself more thoroughly than in real life.

i know some who are really talkative online but not in real life ;D

but i guess for me, i'm kinda the same. i think. haha.
i still kinda speak my mind and yeah. biggrin.gif
i talk a lot in both worlds, haha.
winksassy
not really, I'm the same person like in the chat thing...
if you and i will go chat like everyday and met i think I'm still the same person talkative and sassy lol...
vip_gd
I don't talk much online and neither do I talk much in real life.

Online, you can hide or create behind a different persona. You can make up nicknames for yourself, write stories, and all that. (Which is why most online strangers and highly looked down on). You can be a different person, because you can hide who you are. I am prey of that, I'm like the person you were talking about. Online and in texting, I am the most lively person in the world, but when I meet someone, it takes a lot of time to get me to talk and converse. (I am trying to work on it). I guess it just depends on stuff, you know?

She probably feels more comfortable when she is chatting online.

On soompi -> more calm and less expressive.
Anywhere outside of soompi -> same offline; hyperactive, spazzy, happy-go-lucky, extremely expressive, etc.
robotomy
I'm more talkative on soompi.
gomu-band
i think i'm about the same online versus real life.

i can get a little more passionate online though. lol.
eluphant
nahh..I'm much weirder in real life...I talk a lot but not overboard and I say the most weirdest things ever.
Well...i don't think their weird..i guess people these days...
A lot of things fascinates me...so i would always go.."oohhh....a new ice cream truck!"
And they would raise one eyebrow up and stare at me.
-___________-;;
how mean right?
ulzzang&*ann

apwish
i dont talk much online.kekeke~

hhahahah
lilkuti3girl
Its kinda funny though really. Like on the computer you can talk to people you dont no3 so easily.
Like you already no3 them. Myspace, facebook, AIM, MSN, or w/e.
BUT, when you meet them in real life, it gets so awkward & stuff lol. You even forget that you met them online haha.

I myself are one of them. But when i get to no3 them (in real life) more, ill talk to them nonstop (in real life) like i do on the computer hehe.
inconnu!*
LOL, no, actually I am pretty much the same? But I guess I am more sarcastic online.
LitoYammy
Yeah, I'm super talkative online haha. Around people I know very well, I'll talk a lot too. With talking to new people, I find it's a lot easier to talk to them online than in person because you can't see each other and awkward silences can be filled in with smileys and random things ahha. But I'm working on it. (: But in general, I think I'm the same.
coreancc
As far as I can tell, I'm the same on and off line. Of course, it's hard to judge one's self objectively.
charzzy
I talk more and tend to be more 'open' online.. In fact I feel that I'm more of myself when I'm online. Hahaha.
kevirushi
I'm sorta like her... Haha.. Except if I meet someone online for a very long time, then I would be different from quiet... And she's a girl... Haha.. She can be shy. =]
busagiboo
I think I'm pretty much the same on and offline. I'll sometimes be more open and talkative online, though. Probably because there isn't really human interaction and people can't see your face, unless you're using a webcam. tongue.gif
lampshade
I can collect my thoughts more online. Although I still talk a lot non -stop, but it depends if the person talking to me is talkative. In person, I don't want to seem annoying and blab my mouth if the other has absolutely nothing to say and is a complete mute.

vitamins
hm... i'm more talkative online coz i'm quite shy when interacting with people face to face...
beana*
Imo I think I'm the same on and offline. However, I think sometimes I voice my opinions more online than offline because I feel more comfortable saying something when ppl don't know me. But other than that I'm the same person so if you do meet the real me there's not going to be that much of a difference.
jaeners
I'm pretty much the same person online AND offline. I don't think I'm different at all.
cannotfindserver
not really a totally different person but i just talk more online than in real life.
gal-bi
i think im the same person....
at least to some people..
i talk to people im not familiar with online.. and less in real life
ladee_bug
I'd say I talk more online, but I'm not super quiet when I'm offline.
EXQU1S1TE
I sorta am. I can kinda relate to that girl. It's easier to talk to someone behind a computer than face to face. But I'm not as extreme as she is.
HappyExpress
lol people its call Personality suits... This happen when people can not be "who they are" so they create many Personality suits hahaha.
mango-iee
Nope, I'm the same person from 'behind my computer' and outside. ^^
But I'm more hyper and more weird outside than from the computer. But otherwise, I'm still me. =P
mimirella
Haha.

I'm the same as that girl. I guess it's more comfortable to talk online for some reason
than in real life. I mean, I do talk a lot in real life but .. some topics I guess are easier
to be typed than said =)
random koohkie
Hmm, I would say I'm more hyper online if I talk to people, since it's mostly friends I don't have classes with or see everyday.
We talk about such random things xD
But I talk about the same in real life.
MUSIClLOVElLIFE
I think I am actually.




Yeah, I was thinking.
And I am.
Thats good, I guess.
I dont want a 2nd life. Hahaha
laughable
I'm pretty much exactly the same, but it's just easier to talk to someone on the computer.

But maybe I'm a little bit more crazy when I'm not on the computer =)
coffee.princessx3
I'm very shy in real life, and I'm shy online as well but not AS shy...
but once you get to know me in real life, I talk a fair amount.
and in real life I fangirl a lot less, because none of my friends like korean stuff. XD
domokunn
i think i'm more talkative towards strangers online
but i'm the same to people i know irl ^^
JunMiYoung

but i tend to talk more online xD
xiao jia
i've been told that i'm much meaner and insensitive online. what nonsense.
oOoDbSkoOo
I'm the same person behind the computer.
I'm always talkative and happy going.
But I know what you mean, I know some people that is the same.
sub.lime
I'm more talkative offline I think.
I'm kinda lazy to type thats why...LOL
pepprmint
hehh, i think im more chatty online
its cuz i actually have time to gather my thoughts into coherent sentences when im typing
and i dont have to reply back immediately
unlike face to face
where it would be a totally awkward silence
and theres a back-space and sometimes 'edit' button online happy.gif
mizzxangie
uhh i'm pretty much the same XD
but sometimes i'll be more.. talkative with people that i don't know online
than i would be if i was talking to them in person xD
like.. when i meet new people in person..
i'm usually more shy then i am when i meet someone new online lmao XD
xgotzzricex
I think I'm the same.

I type what I would normally say.

And I smile and laugh a lot.

So when I write Haha
I probably smiled or laughed
...as if I was actually talking to the person.

=]
Joanna
