Are you the real you when online ?

Yup. I can't be anyone else.

I use the name of my fantasy dress-up persona on this site for two reasons: sometimes for cheezy erotic role-play with like-minded queers (see my Charm School posts if innarested -- Please don't if you're not). More often, when I write from my honest observations, the name filters out both the pious Pharisee gender-bigots and those too shallow to look beyond names & images. This comment contains nudity... metaphorically

I try to be for the most part. But I don't even know who that is anymore

Yup. Direct af. . everywhere

This is the only place I feel I can be

Idk. I'm a mess

Yes I am just who I am

I don't know - I think that, in all things, I emphasize different aspects and desires of myself at different times and places online, just like in real life. If I'm hanging out with friends, I say something, family another, work a third, and others who have similar interests a fourth. If I'm on SW, I am different than on Facebook, or on Loverslab, or elsewhere. I don't have one online personality alone.

Still, there's a core of my base traits and beliefs, not to mention tone and voice, that seems pretty consistent.

On-line or in person, I am always the real me. However, depending upon the situation the amount of me that I choose to share will differ.

Absolutely. There are things I can say here that I can only wish I could do off line. I hope to change that someday

am the same me here as am in offline life. The concept of real doesn't fit into these two worlds.

I thought I was very genuine, honest and real online and then I did this test.......

I think it isn't real. LOL

Yes I am I always say be who you are and love who you are

Yes, I don't know how to be anyone else. lol

Nope. The real me curses a lot more.

Yes. Maybe a bit more extroverted

Yes, I'm basically the same person here online as I am in real life. I'm polite, curious, and interested in learning more about people.

I'm probably a little more direct and sexual here than I'd ever be in real life, but that's a reflection of the content here.

Yes. I can't pretend worth a damn...

Yes iam all me online

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

I am real both online and off.

Well, those who've had the pleasure of meeting and talking and knowing me outside of this place will probably confirm the only difference between me in public and me here is that my punchline delivery is much better in person (text without tone is hard to decipher when determining serious vs. snark). ;)

All the time

i m always me here.

To be honest,not really

I turn off the snark filter when im online

Yes. I am completely 'me'.

Mostly not as shy maybe

Mostly. It's my goal to be real. I'm usually as real as the situation allows.

Actually, we aren't even really real in real life, leave alone virtual life!!

I certainly am.

I am trying to

Yes.

Absolutely

Yes I am!

For sure, there's no need to act someone else!
In some aspects I'm even more open while online. About these things I'm still brave enough to admit online only... ;)

Always!

mostly yes

More real online than in person. In person im more of a sarcastic asshole. With a short temper so i occasionally yell more than i do online. I consider my online self the real me.

yes but just reserved on what I share. some people don't quite understand this point, people are always wanting to "see" who they are talking to or want details of your life, etc. I am just very private.

Yes, I am. Except that my screen name isn't my real name, of course. Lol :)
