I was wondering if you tend to be more outgoing on forums then in real life. I tend to act more outgoing here on TCS then face to face. In real life, I'm really a bit shy, but here I love to talk and make friends.

I'm fairly outgoing and somewhat extraverted in real life, but I have down times where I don't feel like talking to anyone.
I think it's because I hate living in the city (small-town girl at heart).

I'd say I'm a lot more outgoing here than in real life unless I am surrounded by friends. As long as I have my security blank of friendship around me, I'm very outgoing and will talk to any one.

I think I'm the same way here as I am in real life, but in real life, I tend to be a loner......do any of you get that???

I am a signed, certified Social Butterfly.

In real life, I am the one who does not sit still in a place, I get out and shake hands and introduce myself, hug and say Hi and Bye and get phone numbers, email addys, take photos of everyone. I do not know what 'stranger' means. It is a phenomenon for those around me who are wallflowers & just want to hang out, cuz I'm all over the place.

On the net however, I am more of a lurker. I do my fair share of posting and such around these parts but won't be the ringleader for anything.

I'm so much more out going here. In person, I am quite shy, really don't know what to say, and tend to keep to myself. I have thought for a long time that it was due to being behind the safety of my computer, but I believe I'm realizing that although this was true at first, now, it is due to being among the safety of friends with whom I can feel comfortable and accepted, relax and be myself.

I am actually about the same here and in real life. I say what I mean, and I mean what I say. I think maybe here, I am a little more likely to be more outgoing...in person, I am kind of quiet.

I notice that people have the little smilies at the end of the post, relaying their mood...how do you get that?? Am I being special or something???

Yes, I've wondered that myself.
Does it have to do with rank? At any rate, I can't wait to have a customized avatar!


I'm hopefully posting pics of my meowy monsters today, since I'll be near a scanner.

That's important, Stephanie. I must say, you've been very welcoming to me since I've been here!

You should be able to change your avatar now to one more suited. Go to your CP control and edit it. There are quite a few good ones to choose from. I want to be able to post my mood. I am feeling pretty braindead today!

This is EXACTLY ME. Thanks Jenn!!!!
So my activity on TCS usually reflects just that: some times I post alot and am lively and feel extroverted and other I am too winded from work and just read read read, kinda curl up into myself. I can be a bit of a loner and go my own way. I don't run with the pack.

I am obviously introverted, but if you were friends with me in real life you would find me kidding around the same as I do on here.

Sometimes I'm a bit more extroverted here. In real life it can be hard to find those folks who are as excited about the same things as you - especially if you have odd interests. If you can't discuss sports or the latest American Idol or Survivor...


Let's just say the chronic depression has something to do with how I am online.
j/k!!
