For me it is personal conversation.That way its more easier to really talk and not get the wrong impressions of talking.Its hard to put real feelings onlines and sometimes its misinterperted the wrong ways.Its like a robot would be talking.In person you can see the expressions on the persons face and make gestures.Online you just have words and have to try to make it look like the way your expressing the conversation,which is very hard to do,atleast for me.Laughing,smiling:),sad:(,etc.

But sometimes, people lack confidence so they prefer an online conversation instead.. like me, sometimes I prefer to converse online, but sometimes I want a personal conversation. I guess it also depends on who are you going to have a conversation. :)

he must be like me when I'm younger.. hahahaha, i guess. But I'm comfortable of making conversations with people I know like classmates, friends, and slightly to my relatives-i'm not really into talking with them, specially when they're pointing out something about you.. :)

Yes that is understanding of course,for them it is much easier and comfortable.As long as they are happy and comfortable that way,then thats the best.My brother is that way,hes shy and becomes nervous,but on online,hes himself,fun and never stops blah,blahing,haha.In person you hardly hear a peep out of him.

For me, it's easier to talk to people online. I'm not a very chatty person & I get quiet a lot. Especially on the phone! I like to e-mail people cuz I can keep it short & sweet & not make others feel uncomfortable because of my own awkwardness.

yeah, I feel that way too sometimes.. I can feel sometimes that its uncomfortable to talk to a person whenever I do something wrong, or when I'm embarrassed-and specially when that person doesn't like the topic.

I believe that it is personal conversation esp when its a conversation with a friend or a family member. Because the feelings that you are close to them seeing them and talking to them personally, thats great! But with those far away from us, even online conversation is better. You know how much you miss him.

Online is usually easier especially when you can hide your identity. Most people find it easier to let go and speak what is truely on their minds when they remain oblivoius to what the other person feels - which is not necessarily a good thing!

In my opinion, online conversation is more easy compare than personal conversation. Since we don't have to see face to face when we do online conversation, so we don't have to feel hesitate to start some thing for topics.
