Nope. I am a pathological liar and never tell the truth anyway.

No, I am just as open in person as on-line. People can ask me anything, anytime (except for the obvious things like SS#, obviously) and get a completely honest answer...However, I do warn people that they might not care for my answer in a lot of cases. I have no secrets, and with a little careful detective work someone could find out anything they wanted to know about me anyway...

Oh, @VictoriaNotes, your situation makes me feel downright lucky. I’m sorry it’s been so alienating for you, and I hope new (better) friends come into your life to compensate for the shallow, judgmental ones you lost.

I’m a pretty private person whether online or offline. I tend to have a lot of acquaintances but very few close friends. Only one IRL friend knows where the bodies (and the unedited conversations about sex) are buried. However, in that small sampling of close friends are people I’ve met online who are cross-over: we eventually met IRL.

I think “online” is an awfully broad term. To me, there’s a difference in exposing every inner thought on Facebook than there is in opening up in a forum such as this one.

The only reason I chose this is the word "tend". I do have close friends I can discuss things I wouldn't normally share with others. Being somewhat of an introvert it's easier to think of what I am saying than to do so spontaneously.

Hmmmm... great article! This is my main social media. I have an RV forum I ask guys questions on how to fix things. I would probably just stay with this one if I became single... I'm just to set in my ways to reach out to a person and get close with them. I'm an old fogey. Lol... I would probably start gold mining or looking for crystals to sell.

I tend to be a very honest person in general, I don't use my personal details online, and I may be more inclined to jest, and many of my jests are taken seriously, but there is no intent to deceive.

I am equally open and honest anywhere and anytime I communicate

I chose other since I really can't answer yes or no. I don't know yet; I haven't really had online friends. I guess one could argue no right now, but I think I can't give a direct yes or no answer at the moment.

When on line in print, I tend to have a more measured response, proofing, editing, etc.
In person I'm more "in your face", atheist 2.0 style.

I'm the same brutally honest, snarky, irascible bitch online that I am in person. Enjoy!

sometimes more, sometimes less, depends on the company.

I think I am just as open in person or online. However, I think I’m more vocal online. Well obviously vocal isn’t the right word. I express myself more frequently online. That sounds better. I’m really the same guy at the store or on the sidewalk as I am online. Quality unchanged, quantity increased online.

I'm not any less open in person.

I'm pretty much the same from what I can tell...people online say I ask too many questions and people irl say the same thing lol

I am WYSIWYG in person and online, always honest. I tend to share more details IRL with someone I know well and trust. Anything you share online becomes public information.
