Real life Vs virtual life ..

Hello OYouness This doesn't necessarily sound like two different personalities to me. It seems perfectly reasonable that this woman was more comfortable expressing herself in the written form, with a buffer between her, than in the spoken form in person. She simply could be shy. I know I'm like that.

For sure!! I am talkative online and in real life lol... But many others are talkative on the computer are shy in real life. The computer is an easy way to hide yourself as you communicate without people judging what you look like, act like, etc...

It happens..because it is easy for people talking in front of a computer than face to face with another person. Don't trust 100% what people express themselves on the internet and don't put much expecting to a person who you haven't met in person yet. Many guys just show the best side of them on the internet only but we can see their bad side when meet in person. I have many friends who from online meeting first and then meet in person, but till now they are still my closed friends because we all know that we just wanna make friends only and be honest even though chatting first on online. So that i never get negative or positive feeling when meet them in person...

many people prefer to express themselves through the internet, do not have to reckon with the words, they can lie, cheat, or to impersonate someone's life, but in real life is not all that nice when we meet with someone face to face, it is harder to deceive us, lie to. people prefer internet, are anonymous, I feel Quite impunity.

Most of us are expressive in online world and give our thoughts and opinions easily in social sites. But in real life, some of us are not very social. While using online sites we are in virtual world and don't have the ability to see each other by direct, so we can easily express our thoughts and opinion as well as make new strange friends easily. But in real life, it is not so easy to make friends as well as we don't give accept to all friend request as we do in the online world. Our real life is far different from the online life. Most of the girls are very social and expressive in online and they have lot of fun and enjoyments with guys through comments, while meeting them in personal, their personalities are different some girls are very shy and don't have the ability to talk with the strange persons. Some guys are also in this sort. Interested in making a lot of new friends in online, but in real life they have only few friends. The reason for this change is we don't give more importance to our image in online world, some of us are using different face in online and hide our real face. But we don't have the ability to hide our real face in the real world, so our nature is entirely different in online and offline world. In real world we are in need to fear about the society and follow certain rules and regulations, which is not available in virtual world. Some persons are same in both online and offline world. But most of the persons are very friendly in online world, accept all the strange requests in internet and entirely different in the offline world and think a lot before accepting a friend.

Though the thing is totally opposite over here but i have very good experience with Facebook.Because i have got my wife through Facebook and i have got the same person as she was in Facebook before we met. This is also true that in some cases people people are talkative in chat but no so expressive in real life but in most of the cases people are same as they are in on internet provided that they are using their real information over the internet. I am sorry about your experience.But may be that was the first time they met with each other that is why she was shy but may be she will turn like the same person as she was before.

yeah some people cant have full blown conversations out of the blue in a face to face conversation their so used to typing and checking their inboxes its just sad people sometimes looks at me wierd that i dont visit facebook often enough lol as if theres a law in the cyber world where i must post everyday about nonsense.

In virtual life, sometimes a person is not being herself. He sometimes wants to be someone greater than himself in the virtual world. Social networks, are very influential, for the life of a few. Because, in social networking, many people can make themselves more powerful, than he really was in the real world.

That story was funny. I am sort of shy in "Real Life", but I have outgrown it a little. I feel like I can run away and be someone else online. It is because I do not have to see anyone in the physical sense to hurt me, and I can run away if I want.

Personally, I can say that things like this are possible. Other people can express well in writing than in oral communication. I have this problem actually, that I am still trying to overcome. I found myLot as a venue of expressing my thoughts since I can not express it in the real life.

Sometimes people are shy in person, especially if they are just meeting you. Add in the fact that the guy brought a friend with him, I wouldn't be saying much either. Some people are better at expressing themselves through writing. They don't have to be face to face, and they don't have to worry about being judged or anything like that. It seems to me like she was just a really shy girl, who felt extra self conscious that you were there also. Been there done that.

hi oyouness...i think this is probably a very common occurence when moving from the virtual world to the real world.. a lot of people can only function in the virtual world...what i think people need to remember is that everyone we think is a certain way in the virtual world may not be and may not have our best interests at heart...just like their are evil people with bad motives in the real world, they are often in the virtual world as well, and they are usually the same people....

I think someone may suffered some things. Lead them autism.They become shy. But on the internet no one knows them, so they can bacome more open than average person.

This story reflects the situation of lot of people. Personnaly, I have noticed that with many of my own friends who change completely on the internet. To my mind, I think that it is their own way to do what they couldn't do in real life. They try to express themselves since, in virtual world, they have a marge of freedom much longer than the one that reallity offers. As consequence, most of those people change their attitude and become so social and openminded. Things that they dream about or just want to be true oneday.
