yes darling, which is why i said I don't like it when people don't act like themselves--if they are acting like themselves online, and acting like someone else off, that would mean they AREN'T acting like themselves.

well how would you know they act diffrentley offline?

[rainnydaiis]

^ shes got a good point... what kind of people would act fake online... its just pathetic... its like a internet thug in real life is like a scrummy 11 year old.... its sad... i just say people are more truthful online

[inthemudhole]

well how would you know they act diffrentley offline?

^ True that.
I agree.
How can anyone tell if they act differently offline or online?
Unless you have met them offline, then you really don't know how they act, now do you? v.v

[rainnydaiis]

i guess online u need more trust then offline

Whoo! Go, Sammi.
Pretty much my thoughts, exactly. v.v
I personally like having a lot of online friends.. you don't get into fights with them as much and stuff. I think it's easier to talk to them, too... >_>

How do you know that people don't act real online?

I had a relationship with a guy who can barely utter two syllables while we're on the phone or hanging out, but can write me a love poem on the top of his head while chatting on AIM. Of course, that relationship lasted for 2 days, but as you can see, SOME people do act differently.

But "to each his own". If people feel comfortable with being open online, then I don't have a problem with that.

how do you know they don't?

And People, I'm not saying everyone does, I post here and I sure as hell don't act differently on or offline.

however, in response to sammi, i'm glad you feel important that you have more online friends than me. that's a major accomplishment and i'm sure that just cause you "chat" with someone online occasionally, that person would bail you out of jail, attend your wedding, babysit your children. . . haha not. sadly, i bet if you have encountered an "online friend" somewhere in the grocery store, you wouldn't even recognize each other, and if you did you wouldn't just go up to that person and say "ARENT YOU -so and so-!" because how random would that be to encounter a person you converse with online in the physical world--the one that actually means something?

[Godsend]

no offense or anything, but i think those of you who form relationships online with people you've never met before and little "online" social cliches are extremely pathetic. yes i'm talking about those of you in cb who are constantly on and constantly trying to make friends with people you don't even know. i can bet my ass over half of you aren't the same offline as you are on.

i bet u aren't either. i bet when ur in skool. sittin in the front seat listening to ur teachers. goody-goody offline, bad-azz offline

pshh

you dont make friends so they can attend your wedding and babysitt your children. you make them to have someone to talk to. Someone who will comfort you when your sad. even if its through a computer and keyboard.

Exactly.
You can just talk to them and let your feelings out, and maybe they can help you.. *shrug* It's never said that you need to become best friends even offline. It's just cool to have a lot of online friends, in my opinion.

[Spirited Away]

yes i agree.

Actually, friendship is all of what you and Michelle are saying.

I find both your definitions lacking. Yours especially, because true friends do more than just talk, they're THERE for each other. But both defintions are pretty accurate when put together.

thats beyond the point.

[Spirited Away]

thats beyond the point.

The point of what? What friendship means?

How is it beyond the point? What point are you making? That Michelle's definition is wrong? Because it's not, but yours isn't right either... they're just lacking.

no thats not the point at all. Have you read the whole topic? We are talking about on and offline personalities.

Duh.

Okay, lets slow things down for just a minute. Your argument is that it's not pathetic to make friends online, hers is basically there's no point because your online friends are not there for you physically.

Lets take into account what you expect from friends. You just expect emotional support, therefore online friends can offer that for you. Michelle is emotional AND physical. She cares about her friends and want them to be more involved in her life than you.

You don't care if your friends will be at your wedding, she does.

It's that simple.

[xox Qt LuVZ xox]

How un-offensive...

But eh, what's wrong iwht making friends with people online? It's not like we plan on meeting in person... Besides I think it'd be hard to reply to posts without making any friends.

[I.Luff.Emo.Boys.]

no its not. Im not saying this is how I am. I need physical support too. I dont really have a lot of online friends. Im just saying some people do. So no, its not that simple, because my needs are the same as michelle's, my thinking is just diffrent.

Well, your needs are the same, then you would care that your friends are at your wedding right? But you don't care if your online friends will be there. I think Michelle do not see a point in making friends if they're not going to be involved in her life. Which is perfectly normal.

What's there to be so complicated about?

I do not mean to speak for you, Michelle, I'm sorry. Feel free to clear things up or bash me.

i dont care if she doesnt care if there is no point in it. She said its pathetic. Im saying you cant judge people. The end.

To each his own then, right? You can feel that it's not pathetic, but she can feel that it is. It's her right, just as it is your right to make friends online.

The end.

See, I told you it was simple.

some people just like to be extra friendly. being in a chatroom is similar to being in a "real" room with people. there are always going to be some who are more talkative than others. there will be some who like to chill in the corner, and just speak when spoken to. there are attention-seekers who like to cause drama. then there are the people who just mingle around. the advantage in a chatroom is everyone can see what everyone else is saying, as opposed to being in a room with 35 people where you'd have trouble tryna hear what someone's saying on the other side of the room.

acting differently from how you act online has no relevence. why? because if you walk into a room with people you've never met before, you could also put on a personality performance. the real issue here, i think, is not about being fake on or offline; it's about being fake period.

[I.Luff.Emo.Boys.]

you totally messed up my debate. I have a right to debate. and i enjoy debating. Noone was fighting, so no you dont need to interfere.
