Real Live You vs. Lit - Are They Different?

[Sandia]

Is your real life personality different from the personality you have on Lit?

I'm more reserved in real life. I don't share personal things about myself with people I don't know. I'm less concerned about what other people think. I don't act silly in public; and I don't even try to be funny, like I do - from time to time - here.

Anybody else?

I'm a little less anxious to get into someone's face and give them a holy whatfor. But not by much.

 

[Daddyslilpet]

I'm a little more shy in R/L.....but still a big flirt. I'm an open book most of the time, no matter where I am, here or R/L.

Yeai would say im different here than real life, lol i do not go around telling ladirs what nice boobes or butts or bodies they have lol cause here i know what i say is appreciated and we all expect comments and we all flirt and can be open and honest here alot easier.

 

[wizbit9]

I resemble these remarks. For a minute I thought someone had found me out, and you were talking about me.

 

[intrigued]

Nope, I am exactly the same, I know no other way to be.

Those here that have met me in person will say the same.
My intent here is to meet others and to form friendships, you cannot do that if you are something other than yourself.

I'm much more sarcastic and cynical in person. I think. You'd have to ask people I've met about that. Heh. I don't flirt in person. At all. Well, maybe a little. But only rarely. Other than that, pretty much the same.

Of course! I am shy in real life!

Seriously, the persona I portray on Lit. is one side of my multi-faceted personality, as I am sure it is with most other people here. I am a lot more open and forthcoming about issues and thoughts here than in real life. Not that I would hide this from someone who was a life partner, but I don't think my family or most friends need to know about my kinks.

My family is extremely conservative and they literally have an apoplexy attack if they knew I posted to a "porn" site, much less some of the things I say here. I am already the black sheep of the family, I don't need to give them more ammo.

At the same time, I definitely think people get the wrong impression about me here; I think some here believe me to be this neandrethal with rather strident views on life and politics, when in actuality I am very much a live and let live, laid back kind of guy. I just like to argue politics is all.

No. I'm basically exactly the same. I might be a bit less outgoing/outspoken depending on who I'm with - but not much.

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

I actually think I shock people much more in my life outside of Lit with the things I say & do.

 

[sexy-girl]

im getting closer to being the real me on here but im very much like i am here

Thank you, intrigued. Then again, maybe I wouldn't have made as many friends here as I have if I was as reserved here as I am in real life.

The fact that I share things here that I don't in r/l (usually) doesn't mean they're not parts of myself.


And I forgot about the flirting thing. I don't flirt much in r/l much either.

As long as you are feeling comfortable in the way you express yourself and behave, you are doing the best you can. Just stay in your comfort zone, be as honest as you can be, and you will be appreciated, and you will appreciate your experience, even more.

I honestly have no idea. I think I am the same on Lit than I am in real life, but I don't know.


I was once told I use bigger words online than I do in person.

 

[BigDawg69]

Don't think so. Nope its me the only me I know how to be!

 

[Ms_Lilith]

I'm pretty much the same in real life except for one thing. I'm quite shy in RL. I blush a whole hell of a lot, and sometimes I just can't work up the nerve to talk to people, cus I'm so nervous/shy.... drives me bonkers.

you're 'zactly the same!

 

[Myrrdin]

In real life

I'm less verbose.

LoL...see I'm just the opposite there...I use bigger words in real life.




But to be honest I'm the exact same...I don't know how to be anything other than me. I'm having too much fun the way I am.

Actually, I think I've felt too comfortable for too long. I think I've grown from some of the discomfort that I've felt.


And Tall Shy Guy: I like to argue politics too.

 

[Dillinger]

*lol*

I guess you bring out the best in me!

Well, you're going in a different direction than what I meant, and in that regard, I agree, growth through the things that are issues for us is a very good thing.
