Are you honest with how you portray yourself online? Or do you pretend to be something that you're not?

Question

As if anyone will answer "Yes, I'm totally full of $hit" lol!

Thoughts please

Answer 1

I don't let people know the "real" me very often. I let them know hints of it, but I really don't think that anyone would like to know very much about my itty bitty life. If asked I will be completely truthful, but it isn't always easy to offer up information.

Answer 2

Yes, I'm totally full of $hit!

Ok, I'll confess, I'm not really a teacher. I know I tell everyone that I've taught English for years, but its just a lie. I am really not very honest and everything I write on here doesn't exactly come from the heart as I said it did. It usually comes from the bathroom wall if you want the truth. I know I said I'm a writer, but I guess the truth is I'm more of a plageriser. *shrugs* In fact I'm copying this out of a book as we speak. I have no originial thoughts........no creativity.........no "pictures" in my mind.......just the pictures I stole from the postcards at the local drug store. I have no friends cause I'm a little piss ant selfish brat. I have to have things my way or I throw temper tantrums. I think of myself first and foremost.....always. So I'm sorry I portrayed myself differently. Hopefully you can forgive me and feel sorry enough for me to actually get to know the real Dee......you know......the Dee'spicable one. *wink*

Answer 3

Well, I've never thought about it before... I guess I'm honest. Although, reading my words may give you a different impression of how I speak. I live in the southern US, so I have an accent (but not too much). And I don't always use proper grammar when speaking. But other than that, I am who I portray.

Answer 4

I am who I say I am.
I don't say a lot about this though in most respects.
Lying is something that I find very hard to do. Discretion is much easier.
But in the end it doesn't really matter anyway because I find everyone so much fun and enjoy what you all say so much (well mostly) that I wouldn't care if you weren't who you said you were.

or I'm merv the perv from Moosejaw(well I'd still be Canadian)

Answer 5

I am totally honest online.
Probably more than if we were face to face.
I can say exactly what I think because there is complete anonimity & no fear of saying the wrong thing to someone I know.
Probably more people full of s**t than not though.
You only have to look at the calibre of questions to realise that.

Answer 6

I am very honest on AND off line...at times, it gets me into a little trouble. I would never want to pretend I was something that I was not...this melancholy girl is the genuine article, baby!

Answer 7

I am exactly how I portray myself, good or bad.


"Thus have I acted; these were my thoughts; such was I. With equal freedom and veracity have I related what was laudable or wicked, I have concealed no crimes, added no virtues; and if I have sometimes introduced superfluous ornament, it was merely to occupy a void occasioned by defect of memory: I may have supposed that certain, which I only knew to be probable, but have never asserted as truth, a conscious falsehood. Such as I was, I have declared myself; sometimes vile and despicable, at others, virtuous, generous, and sublime; even as Thou hast read my inmost soul: Power Eternal! assemble round Thy throne an innumerable throng of my fellow-mortals, let them listen to my confessions, let them blush at my depravity, let them tremble at my sufferings; let each in his turn expose with equal sincerity the failings, the wanderings of his heart, and if he dare, aver, I was better than that man."
---Jean Jacques Rousseau

Answer 8

I like to portray myself as a bada*s, which my wife laughs her head off at. But basically, I tried to sum myself up in my 360 - personally content in a world that sucks, searching for laughter at every turn, cos the alternative is realising how crappy the world at large is becoming...

Answer 9

Behind this persona of a timelord I'm 100% honest.
Yes,I really am a Landscaper.I am on a search for wisdom.I'm a Science Fiction nut.I think I'm a nice guy but that's not for me to decide,that's for the people who know me to decide.

Answer 10

i am honest online, cos it is much more difficult to pretend all the time-I just find it much easier being myself; and more fun. If there is something i am not interested in, I ignore it.

Answer 11

Nope, what you see is what you get...alright, I'm not a human in an otter suit...I'm an Otter in a Human suit..but the rest of my profile etc... is usually right on. I do tend to be a little puckish when answering Q's though.
