Are you yourself on here?

Question

Or do you take on a persona

I think most people on here are quite genuine
What do you think?

Answer 1

C'est moi, for the most part. Though I don't come out with the expletives in my daily life. Learned some of them from a man of the cloth, I did!

Answer 2

I don't know about other people, but I'm generally myself. One thing I find interesting here, though, is that the way people write isn't necessarily always an indicator of how they come across in person or when they speak on the phone. Some people here probably wouldn't guess this, but I'm generally a shy, anxious person whom others often dislike, either because they find me annoying or else because they think I'm stuffy and snobbish. That being said, though, everything I write here comes straight from the heart. Also, I once talked on the phone to a guy in the UK whom I had met here. Online he seemed like a warm, caring person. On the phone, though, he came across as pretentious, stuffy, and snobbish. I guess we're all multifaceted in our own way.

Answer 3

No, Father. I confess I'm not as funny in real life. On P&S I can consider what I want to post, figure all the angles, then post, not worrying about when it's delivered.
In real life, it takes a bit too long to find a line, edit it, and deliver it witth the right timing. In life, timing IS comedy. Here we can think.

Answer 4

Never. I'm an outright fraud. Not only do I front a phony persona, I am masking my own deeply veiled insecurities and indiscretions. My true nature is to deceive and to diver attention away from myself. Honesty is the surest and fastest way to being easily manipulated.

Answer 5

No I'm someone pretending to be me,only joking,yes I am me on here and I think most people are.I know some are not because they slip up at times but it doesn't matter,no-one's getting hurt.I hope!

Answer 6

I'm definitely myself here. I say what I think, and I don't pull any punches for stupid questions. I don't suffer fools gladly in the real world, so why change here? This is utterly anonymous (or very close to it), so I can say what I like.

Answer 7

Me? Facetious? Alter-ego? Mild trolling? Experimental posting? Never...

Answer 8

i dont really see any reason for the majority of ppl to pretend to be something they are not, although i figure there are some losers out there that feel cool on here by acting like someone else

Answer 9

i am very much myself, however i often surprise myself when i know the answer to a question i never would have thought of...i give advice i've never thought i'd ever give...quite frankly this site helps me to think deeper as well as put to use all the random stuff i know

Answer 10

yep I'm myself & can say what I mean with out being scared of getting a punch on the nose,plus there's always spell check so the spelling ent mine but every thing else is true...
