    Hello JA:

    This IS real life.  What???  You're NOT a real person who thinks, feels and has opinions???

  • I try not to, but online, I come off as being a bit sarcastic and short in my responses .

    In real life I'm a bit of a joker and really good natured with a mouth that never closes. lol

  • My mouth is usually running before my feet even hit the floor in the morning.

    I love talking :) LOL

    I am about the same.  But when using text to communitcate I do think about my wording more than in person.  As in text some things do not seem the same as in person without the tone etc. 

    My husband does not text and will sometimes tell me to text something to the kids, that would sound fine in person it would come off as a joke.  But in a text would start a issue.  I tell no I not saying that in a text.

    Exactly the same.    I am very kind and loving and if you step over the line, I will let you know. 

    Exactly the same.

  • I do.  It's so much easier and genuine just being yourself on or offline.

    Yes, I just use shorter sentence's on line because I don't like to type that much.

    Yeppers.  I don't see the point in not being who I genuinely am, no matter how I am communicating with others.  Though online people do not have my voice, facial expressions and body language to go along with my words...sometimes the intended humor and sarcasm do not translate well into the written word.

    Yes, but the people I talk to in real life are quite a different type of persons than I encounter on this site. The people on other sites I like to play on are more like the folks I hang out with in real life.  I find all of them to be fun.

    Umm maybe, my mother in law says I write like I talk and it's really annoying.  I'm not sure why we need mother in laws anyway.
