anonymitity

do you think being able to converse with people while being completely anonymous on the web helps or hurts our conversations?

do you think we live double lives? lives on the net and our personal lives?

I do.

Yup. Not really internet but wow.

i live double lives, on internet im complete nerd while in real life im complete different person nothing close to being a nerd.

and it really hurts our conversations because you dont know who the person is at all

I'm the exact same way. Only a few of my close friends are into gaming and all that jazz. In real life I'm the type of person that gets along with everyone. I'm not the kind of person that will sit in school all day talking about what kind of graphics card my pc has.

Haha yea, well I'm not all into video games or anything, we usually just talk about movies, tv shows and stupid stuff. We laugh so hard..

i do, on the internet i can express my selkf muchg mnore clearly than i can in real life, on the computer i can somehow get out what i thgink is the truth but in real life i feel like m in a box, i belive it hurts convos because like the very noobish forum i posted earlier about religon i just wanna apoligize cus i had no reserch n i felt like a big donkey noob, and i belive people veiw points are diffrent alot of the times and that of course effects conversations

I play video games so I don't have to worry about real life. Instead of worrying about school,work and friends, I can worry about making sure I put c4 on flag 3.

nope no double lives here. all in one category.

collin you type like a dumba$$ so i need to come over and teach you how to type..
this isnt AIM, we talk normal on forums...

and yah im happy you listened to what i said cause that thing was stupid and you did like no research.

But yah internet is very good because you can express and explore a part of you that you never knew existed. Well for me its that way

farquezy give the guy a break.

anyway i was wondering because it is becoming more and more apparent to me that i enjoy my conversations online more. now im no junkie for comps. i think it is because i get more honest answers and talk to people who are from different places and cultural backgrounds

haha i know him in real life he is my best friends...

but yah its like if you talk about the stuff on talk on here in real life my friends would joke on me.

its just allows me to explore another part of me

I'm like that too, I wouldn't usually talk about all this stuff, but being online helps a lot with no one knowing who I am .

Actually I think u can tell wat kind of a person sum1 is from the internet because u can say enithin yuo feel lyk but in real life u cant really do that because for example u wudnt feel comfortable to say that you looooove watchin spongebob if ur a grown man. Onthe otherhand tho, u can say wat u really feel. Does any 1 get wat am saying?

this is a good topic.

but i think i pretty much act the same on the internet and in real life. but the only difference is when im typing on a forum or somthing i sound alot more educated. but here's me:

im extremely popular; everykid in high school, even at different schools, knows my name.
but in ever clique there's always a kid that doesnt like me cause somtimes i got to far with my jokes. but im pretty calm about sh*t. i get girls, hott ones, easilly and im sarcastic as titz.
if u try and fight me u will lose because me friends will jump in, we all have eachother's back. im not a nerd, and if anything im a bully.
my grades are average. like b's and c's maybe an a. im athletic. im like 5'8", i turned 15 like 3 weeks ago. i can bench 160 and im good at pretty much every sport. im the guy that nerds despise but wont do anything cuz im cool with pretty much everyone. but online, its like ever1 can be equal and there's not bullsh*t. its cool.
