    Differences between your 'Poly personality and your RL personality

    How do you act differently when you're on 'Polly?

    I tend to contribute more to the discussion and post less fake misinterpretations on 'Poly than when I talk. I also often type with my eyes closed, whereas I almost never talk with my eyes closed.

    I am more humorous, and more of a moron IRL.

    I think, that there is little difference in my online and offline personalities.

    I'd like to think I'm the same here as in real life, but Provost Harrison is the only person here who can even begin to confirm or deny that, being in the only person here who has met me.

    The only difference is: I talk more here, than IRL
    This space is empty... or is it?

    I'm more timid IRL. Although a lot less these days.

    Dangit, FP beat me to it...was gonna say that I'm taller in real life than here....

    But nahhh....no differences I can think of. I don't put much stock into fakery....what you see is what you get.

    My Apolyton personality is starting to bleed into my real personality. I caught myself half way though a train of thought the other day after I realised I was using "Starchild" in place of my real name.
    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

    In real life I tend to hang out with females a whole lot more. And some of them don't even hate me.
    Do not take anything I say seriously. It's just the Internet. It's not real life.

    my RL and poly personalities are nowadays pretty similar. and always have been, i think. I used to be alot more of an Ideologue, both in real life and on here, but i'm not really like that anymore, and am usually pretty relaxed, easy going type of person.

    at least, i try to be.

    Ok. Once he stops vomiting he's a nice guy, very polite. Even ate an entire kebab at our urging despite having completely sobered up.

    I think I'm the same in RL as I am on 'poly but I don't really know.
