some personality traits get amplified here, and some diminished. a lot of people tend to overcompensate for perceived inadequacies in this rather impersonal type of forum. when i reread old threads, i sometimes wonder why i said the things i did. occasionally i can pinpoint my thoughts, and the process has the potential to be rather revealing.



quite a lot of the time, though, i am simply in character, as are many of you. whatever air of mystery we have managed to create needs some wonderment to keep it alive. none of us would be much fun if in real life we were exactly what we portray ourselves to be here. and this website would have died off years ago if there were nothing here but our pale beige little day-to-day personalities populating all this bandwidth.

As a consequence, few people really know me. And I like it that way. On GAB I publicly interact with many different people. So I end up being a more complete version of myself than most individuals get.

Translation: My personality is maleable, I can blend into just about any social group. I credit a pretty well-developed sense of empathy with an encyclopediac knowledge of minutia. I can modulate aspects of my personality to make others comfortable."



That's very astute, Dork. I think you just described me, as well. For years and years I made it my top priority to learn how to blend in with any group I was around, to the point where I resented people who didn't try to blend in because I felt like they were being lazy.



Lately, though, I've been working on not doing the auto-blend thing, mostly by thinking carefully over what I say or do before saying or doing it to make sure that it's actually me. It's been an interesting experiment, and I find that I make friends with more interesting people now. The empathetic side of me is still there, though, and it usually kicks in when I hear people say unkind things about this or that group of people. And I'm glad it does.



Conclusion: One shouldn't try to blend in on purpose too often, and one shouldn't try not to blend in on purpose too often, either. Or something.

My online persona (Mookie, STiD) is a character, a reflection of who I would be if there was not such a social stigma for saying the things you really want to. How many times have you been waiting in the ten items or less line and wanted to say to the guy with 25 items, "Hey mother-Froster! Can't you count?" As such many personality traits are amplified, most recognizabe are those that are considered socially abrasive. Here on GAB I'm ten times as likely to say your "full of Shakespeare" than I am in real life, and likewise more apt to compliment someone I feel deserves it. Without a physical form, other than a few pictures that we quickly forget about while posting, we are more likely to base our image of a person on their personality and contents of their posts that be biased by their looks.

I'm crabby, detail-oriented. And hard to start in the mornings.

Hee, hee, hee. Nutbutter thinks his kid is going to do stuff for him.



Butters, just think of yourself as a kid. Now imagine yourself one generation lazier.

In real life, if I don't know you, or I'm not quite comfortable around you, I clam up. I don't talk, except to apologize profusely for stuff that isn't my fault. I kinda hunch my shoulders up and smile timidly, speaking in a meek, soft voice. However, once I become friends with someone, I'm louder, and almost like this, except without the constant innuendos. Oh, and I really am intelligent. I do say, "like" a bit too much, but besides that, I am capable of holding intelligent conversations.

VS, let's be friends. We can cast our shyness aside and speak freely with each other. I'm going to NJ for a few days during April vacation, you know. We should get together, and call it "GABfest in A Minor."

Not only do I talk to anyone who'll listen, but I can normally get the people like VS & Brookie who don't like talking to strangers, to talk to me.



It's all in how you display the candy.

Do I have a separate online persona?



I try to be funny here AND in "real life", but here you can't hear me laughing after each thing I say, the laugh that pleads "please think I'm funny..."



I suppose the main difference is that here I don't worry that I should maybe watch my tongue lest I say something innapropriate.



It's hard...I'm not Gene Simmons you know.
