I meet some people online and IRL and it seems it's just a reflection of themselves represented in a slightly different way. You can still see and feel under their grammar and other things that make them, them.

I think the people who put on persona's are the people who say "LOL" hardcore and way to often, or is very disruptive and obnoxious.

Some people aren't even shy in real life or on the computer. Maybe they are just bored of themselves and try to be something slightly different, but still a representation of yourself because someone can't possibly truly be different from themselves.

You should have the same attitude and everything online because I don't see why you shouldn't unless you are trying to be someone else.

Personally, i find myself in being MUCH more outgoing when behind a monitor. I'm shy and a bit socially awkward in real life, and while the awkwardness might still remain, the shyness vanishes on the internet. Probably because there is a vast difference between looking at an avatar plus some written text and looking at someones face and hearing what they're saying. On the internet, it's dead easy to hide emotions, and you have all the time in the world to ponder your next move, but when talking to someone, you can't just mask your emotions like that, because people generally expect a reply from you pretty quickly.

So yeah, long story short, if you removed all shyness from my real personality, you'd have an almost perfect match on my internet personality.
