Your personality versus your Smashboards persona

Simple idea, do the two match or are they polar opposites?

I think my Smashboards persona is similar to my personality. I don't really say much at first but once you get to know me, I'm open to sincere detailed debates about anything really. I'm not one to go charging into social situations and I think the same applies here, I don't just go running through threads casually.

I also think I conduct myself according to the same values both here and real life.

you pretty much just described my personality : ). i'm less of a smart *** on here. usually, when people say some dumb ****, i'm quick to label it as so. on here, i just don't respond, or use too many smiley faces and people don't take me seriously. i'm not mean or anything. just very straight forward. to me, most of the threads on here are pretty dumb so i don't post in a lot of threads.

I'm bad at communicating on the internet. I think I sound really annoying a lot of the time.

I'm pretty meek both online and in real life. I'm a little more prone to say ridiculous things on the internet than I am IRL, though.

This is an awesome idea for a thread.

Yeah Id say I come across pretty much the same.

I can't always communicate what I mean very well sometimes.I'm pretty chilled out nearly all the time,except when people say really stupid stuff,when I'm dying/failing in games and just when talking about the stupid people/things in life.

It's weird though,Even though I love this place and imagine I would get along/like a lot of posters here. I've never met anyone on Smashboards except for the Irish players.......and there are only 5 of them on here.

I like you guys :)

Err... Dunno really.

I guess in real life I'm a bit more relaxed with rules and on SWF I'm more compliant to the rules and whatnot.

Pretty much the same as in real life, although I'm not really a grammar nazi. lol

I can't really describe my personality, I'm laid back, yet if there's something to do I'm usually the first to go at it.

I'm a shy girl in the real world xP
I don't talk unless you talk to me first or if there's something I like about you

Here i'm kinda the same, but a lot more open minded and social.

I'm the same. I spam like **** and I DONT GIVE A ****. I am weird and random and annoying as I am here. My doc is just as annoying. The better my doc gets the more annoying my annoying doc gets. Yeah.

But I yell more irl. But then I don't talk much cuz I am not good with conversing, so I keep it short.

Theres a lot of similarities...since im the epitome of unfeminine both on and offline...
But i guess offline im more hyperactive. I'm calmer online so i don't scare people. And have more perv moments. And im a total smart *** both on and offline..but it shows more IRL. :'D

I was about to say that I'm more of ******* online than I am offline. But then I realized that isn't true, at all.

So basically I'm the same. I'm nice most of the time, but I'm not afraid to be a **** either =/

A lot more reserved online, which is kinda weird, I'm usually pretty vocal around friends.

Pretty much the same, I like my solitude.

I'm a lot more passive in real life than I am on the boards. If something bothers me, I'm more likely to make a post ranting about it than I am to bring it up in person. I'm introverted around unfamiliar groups both online and offline, but I become more outgoing when I'm comfortable with the people around me.

It depends on the people I'm around...I think over the years my online and offline personalities have become more alike, I used to be far more outgoing online and very shy offline.

But this has fortunately changed a fair bit. :]

And I'm generally a pretty friendly, cheery person offline and online (or so I like to think).

Although I have been known to intimidate people in person, although somewhat unknowingly...Cao just brings the loudmouth out of me. <3

Man, I still remember meeting you at @M so long ago. You were quieter than I was!

I do make a lot of jokes irl, I'm equally sarcastic, scathing, and lacking in sensitvity over touchy subjects (especially for jokes).

I guess I'm far more civil irl though, and someone who'd only talked to me online then met me irl said I'm basically the same guy but a lot more charming in person.

Liar, she totally wanted to get into my pants when she saw me that's why.

I dunno though I guess she is right.

Adding on to what I said earlier.

I AM a bit more immature online that I am offline. Just a bit. I forgot to mention that.

I'm not sure what people think of me online. I'd guess I'm more introverted online (I'll only speak to people who talk to me).

In real life I probably come across friendlier, dumber and more laid back.

I can kind of be a smartass IRL sometimes... but that's only if I feel the person deserves it. Besides that, I'm not too much of a social person. So I'm not too different from my online persona.

Its somewhat the same here as in real life. I like to keep to myself, though I'll occassionally act like an idiot on purpose.

I'm nicer and I laugh more. Also if I snap at someone, which is rare because you have to break something of mine or steal from me, I'll most likely end up apologizing later.

There's no dramatic difference basically.

I am a bit more soft spoken, but I still don't give a ****. I don't rap too much in real life, but at church camp in the summer I'm a legend. I beat this odd kid named Woodsy in a rap battle. At first they called me bunny, but I made a smart remark about his girlfriend named Spam(This was in 4rth grade lol, even then a girl named Spam was an easy target.) during our last rap battle, and he flipped. I didn't fight back when he punched me, I'm against fighting over small disputes. I put him in a headlock and carried him to the office, he was then brought home. Then when I got back to the cabin, some kid shouted "WAY TO GO COLONEL CUDDLES, YEAH!!), then the whole camp stopped calling me Bunny, and Colonel Cuddles now ended Woodsy's evil rule. Now, as far as camp goes, I'm a legend. I was also fat, still am, but most people don't make fun of me, most insults are at school. That's how I got named Colonel Cuddles. Just this year the name started to pick up at school. My girlfriend gave me a weird look when someone called me Colonel Cuddles. Lol'd so hard.

I know IRL I have a much better temperament than I show online, I'm still a smart-alek like I am online, but I'm a bit more aware and sensitive to others feelings. I guess to make it short, I'm definitely much more personable in real life than I am online.

I'm basically the same person... probably a bit more lively and sociable in real life. Either way, I like to think that I'm a pretty cool cat.

Hmmm, I was thinking that it might be easier to be objective online, then in personal. Because you can cast posts and such as just shadowbeings, or hollows, or nobodies, seriously. So its easy to troll people online, but you wouldn't really do it personally, because people would know how you look and stuff. And you can feel feelings and tones from peoples faces to their body language.

Blah blah blah

I take longer to compose my thoughts and posts on the internet than I do in real life. It's probably because I know that people I don't know are going to read the stuff I post (if that makes any sense) and because I have a tendency to make assumptions about people depending on how they post so I assume others do the same.

I'm totally anti-social offline aside from a pair of guys that I've known for a long time. After I went from public to homeschooling, I lost allll my people skills. Not like I need them, people aren't worth it.

I'm also a bit less... angry in real life. :p I'm very good at biting my tongue. No one here really knows how I differ from that on the 'net... Luckly. :<

Other than that, not a lot of difference.

If you talked to me in person, and then checked my Smashboard posts, you'd pretty much realize that talking to me over SWF and talking to me in real life is basically the same thing.

Except I don't say the same word at the end of all my sentences.
