Would your family/friends be shocked if...

Would your family be shocked or surprised if they saw your internet personality?
Most people online behave quite different than they do in real life due to anonymity and lack of consequences there would be in real life.
Do you behave differently or are you exactly the same and would you family be pleasantly surprised or the opposite?

For me they would be shocked in a negative way as I'm a lot more rude online than I am in real life.
What about you?

[Lenonis]

I'm not really all that different. Maybe a bit more blunt that I would be in person, but you rather have to be given the lack of inflection and tone with the written word.

[Doctor Amadeus]

Nope, I am the same smart mouth, pain in the ass in RL as I am online = I HAVE NO FRIENDS OFFLINE either HAHAHA!

[Amirila]

I have social phobia, so I'm more me on the internet, without having to worry about that

[Feali]

I'm a bit more shy in real life. Other than that? No they wouldn't be surprised.

That's funny. Those who know me but don't game with me would be surprised to find I'm more friendly and polite online. More laidback. I have several real life friends who game with me, and I can say that is amusing how quickly a guy I know to be a pussy in the real world can grow a set of balls behind the keyboard. That's the beauty of the Internet, I guess. Allows everyone with an inner scumbag to let it shine.

[Jester Joe]

Not really probably maybe.

My internet persona filled the poll out he is a bit dishonest so take it with a grain of salt.

[Gevoth]

Nope. I'm the same. If anonymity changes your behavior it's just removing your mask.

[Medusa Cascade]

I'm weird offline and online so no.

[Deleted]

Not much differenec except my shyness can't exactly be portrayed online.

[Adramalech]

Probably not, since I'm not all that different online than I am in real life. I'm very shy in real life, but not so much on the internet, but that's about the only thing I can think of that changes. And even then, it depends on what I'm browsing and who I'm addressing.

[Total Crica]

i would say everything the same way regardless of it being online or face to face

[Beery Swine]

I'm sometimes more curt online, but that's because I'm sick of trying to explain things that people can look up for themselves. That's about it.

[Shostradamus]

Not at all, if anything my father's opinions are far more violent than mine and he often shouts them across the pub or across the street with his friends applauding him for it and cheering him on. My father's advice probably would be to give people who disagree with me full and utter abuse, verbal and physical if possible.

Is your father former WWE superstar, Stone Cold Steve Austin?

[Kerath]

I doubt they'd be surprised. I'm very similar offline. Probably a bit warmer/friendlier in person - hard to pick up context and personality from text alone.

[Deleted]

Naw, I'm exactly the same, irregardless of the form or medium of communication.

So he gets in their face and endlessly repeats, "What?!?" ??? XD

[Fugus]

I am the same online as I am in person.

About the only thing different about me is I a bit better of a talker and debater online.

In person, I honestly can't think fast enough on what I want to say and put it into words or at times trying to recall facts. Online, I can think of what I want to say and say it as I want to minus the numerous spelling errors I have. With the added benefit of being able to take the time and fact check what I am trying to say to make sure I don't get details wrong at times on stuff I am not 100% sure on at times.

Basically I am much easier to talk to online and understand than in person on the more complex issues but personality wise, I am the same.

[Deleted]

Quite surprised with the answers so far, I always think people are very different online than they are in real life!

[Kuntantee]

Not much differenec except my shyness can't exactly be portrayed online.

So you are a racist in real life too? Don't you get a lot of negative responses with such perspective?
