Online You vs Real World You


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Meh, I think i'm far more erratic and open with my random thoughts on here.  but I think it has more to do with when I'm posting then the everyday me. 

 

I'm a generally cool person to meet, always have a few crazy stories up my sleeves from when I travel a lot. I have some cool tattoo's and get stopped and asked about them all the time.

 

I'm a closet super nerd in real life. most people dont know this but yeah I know a lot of geeky stuff, and I'm more open about it on here.

I'm MUCH more opinionated here. I generally keep my opinions to myself in the real world. I think the main reason I go to the Tinderbox is so that I can vent some of the opinions I keep bottled up with my real world friends. Aside from that, I'm not sure how different I between these two social realms. I suppose I'd need the opinion of someone who knew me in both contexts.

I'm basically the same irl as I am online.

But many people here actually believe I'm Patrice O'Neal.

 

LOL...that is funny and there must be something to that because when I read your posts, I can't help to imagine Patrice is behind them. I have no idea why because it doesn't happen when I read anyone else's comments.

 

It's not like I read Jangler's posts and think "I agree with Hayden's viewpoint on the upcoming Panthers game, now I shall pie her to show that I agree her assessment."

 

On a side note, I wanted something to listen to at work the other week and your avatar gave me the idea to watch / listen to his Elephant in the Room stand up. Good stuff.

I can say from personal experience....JR's feet are way way worse in real life than they ever could be online

I think if I ever changed my huddle pic some peoples heads might explode like wtf? My username and pic are basically synonymous at this point lol.

Jase is much more talkative irl  :)  Yeah, not really...

 

Johnny Rockets is pretty much exactly who I thought he'd be.

 

I'm trying to think of someone that I've met on here that is much different irl, it'd probably be Jase or Dpantherman... both are much more reserved/quiet in person.

 

 

I think I'm about the same... honestly if anything my online persona has helped me to be more outgoing and talkative in person than anything... I'm much more "open" to talking to new people now than I used to be.
 

 

The more anonymous you are online, the more you "act out" imo....  I know there are people on here that aren't as they seem to be irl... of course the huddle is more semi-anonymous than a lot of the internet too so...

well...first time I met Rockets I thought he was going to be a real asshole to be honest....couldn't have been further from the truth though really.

    • That works for me too.  I just felt like not enough have converted to Bluesky and that was why he was "forced" to use X.
    • I know every jersey thread goes in this direction, but I feel the need to say it.  The Chinese knockoffs are not your friend. Not only does the money not go to the panthers, but you don't control where it does go. The athletic did an excellent podcast on the business of counterfeit shirts not too long ago. I could care less about the legality of it, but the morality of it is no bueno. Now I need to wash off the "defends billionaire class" off myself, but like don't give your money to those people. If you can't afford a jersey, just go to ebay, or a thrift store, or wear a t shirt. 
    • A friend of mine, Chip, was taking an exam in a business course that he had failed twice before.  He would have to drop out of his major if he failed it for a third time--he claimed the professor, Dr. Brown, despised him, and several others who had Dr. Brown's class with Chip confirmed that Dr. Brown's hatred for Chip was obvious.  Before the exam, Chip was up all night cramming, confiding to his roommate Jeff how nervous he was.  Jeff was understanding and listened carefully.  During the exam (an evening course) Jeff was at work delivering flowers for a local florist.  As Chip describes it, a woman (another student who worked with Jeff) entered the classroom with flowers and a card with the words "Dr. Brown" written on the card.  The professor immediately sent the girl out; Jeff was watching from the hallway.  She left the flowers on his desk and scampered out.  Chip laughed because he thought the professor, a man he hated, was being pranked.  A few minutes later, the professor opened the envelope, and read the card.  Chip was still laughing.  He walked toward the students, still taking a timed test, and stopped at Chip's desk, staring at him.  Chip stopped laughing.  He dropped the card on Chip's desk while snarling at him silently.  Chip read the card, "Dr. Brown.  I can't tell you how much I have grown under the three semesters of your tutelage and guidance.  You are my role model.  I will miss you." --Chip Fxxxxx.  Chip made a C.
