Fusion X. Denver Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I saw Shradow's status here and thought it might make a good topic. Do you act any differently on here than you do IRL? And if you feel like sharing, do you act differently around different groups of people in your life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Almost a shut in. I can go out just fine, I just don't see a point in it most times, especially considering I don't know anyone in the area and all my mom and sister do is shop/get their hair/nails done.

:^) Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 idk irl and on YCM noone likes me so its kinda the same either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazooie Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Um... I'm a lot more open about things online then I am IRL. I dunno why, it just kinda worked out to be like that. IRL I'm not quieter actually. In classes sure I'm nearly silent, but around friends I can get pretty loud... Especially when we're playing games, Brawl / Fortune Street being the two most common. Yet, online I tend to be quieter, but more open when I speak. It's a really weird combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Funny thing. I used to be like Black, (don't take this the wrong way, I still think you are awesome senpai) isolating myself and avoiding others. This was back in the eighth grade, so i don't even think I was on YCM yet, and if I was I wasn't very active. Of course, that is changed over the last few years. I have grown more confident, and I actually make an effort to socialize with others. I do the same thing on YCM, making as many people my friends as I can. Even those who I originally just thought of as rude, I now respect as human beings. Most of them, that is. tl;dr I am the same person both on and off YCM, but neither is who I used to be.

Toffee. Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Safe to assume a lot if us are the same as we are IRL, but with the later being more on the quiet side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Safe to assume a lot if us are the same as we are IRL, but with the later being more on the quiet side. See, this was me back in 2010-2011, but now it's kind of switched. Now I'm louder and a little more outgoing and border-line obnoxious with IRL friends whereas I think I post more conservatively on YCM. Which is odd. But at home, I'm kind of a different person. I'm quieter, my sense of humor dries and I'm more to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Pretty much the same. I ramble a bit more and trip over my words more irl. Though, I tend to do that in text too, simply because it's how I talk. But other than that...basically the same. Though I don't have many people to talk and hang out with irl. I do have a few people (2-3) that I'm more outgoing around, just because I'm more comfortable with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 If you act the same towards everyone, you're probably vehemently hated. The lines of communication between two people sitting in a room and two people on YCM are completely different, so there should always be a big difference in how you act between real life and YCM. Whether you put on a completely different persona in that regard, well... that depends on the person. I'm at the very least, more open here than elsewhere.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Real life: More or less introverted; probably because people at college are irritating at times. In short, I don't talk to people or really bother to socialize with them. This obviously doesn't apply to people that I'm close to or know relatively well. (And also because I talk relatively fast, if you could tell from my video AMA) YCM/Online: Much more open to talking to people on the web; though there are still a few people I won't bother with (mainly on other sites/games) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Yes. Obviously it's much easier to type certain things, and to be honest, social etiquette is way different online. Typing and talking simply aren't the same. Even if you look at Skype calls, it's a different environment here. I'm fairly introverted, even here, but I will post a lot of random bullshit with little care for reservation, like with that ass-zit status I posted once.

Rodrigo Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Real life: Never go to parties, don't drink, but I have lots of fun with my close friends and I'm not shy. I was before but I improved greatly YCM life: Monkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinolovania Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Well, I actually do stuff IRL as opposed to on here. I dunno...I haven't really posted enough here recently to have a real "personality". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raine Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 If anything, I might be more reserved online than offline. Yesterday I was dared by a buddy in my Study Abroad Liason group to make flamboyant signs that said and I quote, "Friend Wanted, Apply @ Desk" "Best Friend Interview Here" and "SWM looking 4 new BFF" and make a make-shift booth in the college cafeteria and recruit people to apply for friendship. I got 6 people in 20 minutes including 2 actuarial sciences majors, a Brazilian transfer, a graduate chemistry TA, a psych major, and criminal science major. It's 120% more fun to reach out and interact with people in irl. I was forced to be extrovertive since I moved schools ever 3 months through my high school years. It's scary and require big kahonas sometimes and a lot of times you screw up and might embarrass yourself but overall, it's more fun and your successes are way more important and memorable than making a few bad impressions!

Wildflame Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I fool around more online (not only on YCM) than in real life. But just a bit, don't think that the difference is really that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elijah~ Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 If I had to be honest, I'm pretty much the same online as I am in irl, the only difference is that I can pretty much open up more on here than I can irl. I remember the tough time I had when I was myself in 6th grade, I only had about 4-5 friends, but when I just abandoned it and acted like I didn't like Pokemon and stuff, I got more friends. So pretty much, I'm afraid that if I go back to being my real self, the Pokemon loving anime obsessed guy, that I'l lose a lot of my friends. Pretty much the only time I'll tell someone that I like that stuff is if I can trust them enough or if they are having a nerd moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'm more outspoken, critical, and harsh irl, but here I decided to not care and act carefree, and borderline childish to make ease myself a bit. Though, I'm not sure about who's my IRL self and how I supposed to act there anymore so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 If I'm honest, there isn't much that differs IRL me to YCM me... that I've noticed at least. For example I do say "To be fair" on here fairly often and to be fair I do say that quite a bit IRL as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
