Do you present yourself differently online than you do in real life?

People are different over the internet true, but not entirely different. They might expose some of their features and hide some other. But a lot more can be learnt if you are in contact for a lot of time. As far as I'm concerned, there are some parts of my character that I have not exposed outside, but most of the times I'm the same on both the real and virtual world. bourne

online personas can be total opposites... especially when role-playing virtual characters... however, i have been told that I am a lot more open and talkative through online communication, and more of the quiet and shy type when meeting face-to-face...

It is quiete normal to act a bit different when not being exposed directly. People are more open, even me, but there isnt much differenc, I act online just like I act around people I know well, but you could see a difference when Im around people I dont know and when Im online. Online's give me some kind of a shelter I need when getting to know people, in RL i do it my self and takes more time for me to open, while online I can do it faster.
