I Am Shy

I'm an introvert in real life, but an extrovert online.

I feel similar, although I'm still a little shy in chat rooms/games or Discord.
I feel most extroverted in places like SW where you can take your time to think, and you don't feel like you're talking over anybody else.

@DDonde If the online chat room is voice, I'm thoroughly introverted. If it's text-based, I'm far more open and outgoing.

@LookingForIt987 I think same, although I can get used to online voice chat if it's with people I know well. It's the whole group chat aspect that gets me nervous I think.

@DDonde I stutter, among other reasons I hate voice chatting. Back when I played World of Warcraft, I actually skipped joining "raids" so I wouldn't have to do voice chats.

@LookingForIt987 I feel you. I used to stutter a lot, but now I just forget words. Sometimes I worry I'm annoying to listen to.
