DaRealness online and offline are the same dude. I got no reason to lie or flex just to score e-points with anybody.

I can be antisocial when need be with people some of my co-workers will say "Fist" is cool but he doesnt talk much

can be social depending on the person really. If i want to holla at a person i cant let it be known :youngsabo:

I am the same. My friends see the most complete most open me. Everyone else sees me as quiet/shy/stuckup (:dwillhuh:). I let nothing be known EVER lol.

The same person in regards to who? As I've stated before, we are not the same people with everyone we deal with offline as we are in dealing with the people of this online community. In other words, you do not share the same thoughts you share on here with random strangers offline. And that's what the people of this community basically amount to, a bunch of strangers. So my question is, how does the anonymity afforded to you by this forum of conversation affect the way express your thoughts here? How do you go about choosing the boundaries you apply?

Online, there is just an added convenience factor. I'm the same person in regards to the fact that if you approached me in person and asked me my opinion on any subject matter, my opinion will be the same regardless, and I wouldn't hesitate to express it.

Why wouldn't you share the same thoughts with strangers offline? I was just approached at Starbucks randomly last week, by a stranger, and we had a convo about varying topics, that lasted about an hour or so.

I don't really share too much personal stuff about myself to strangers, period (whether online or offline)...people don't really know who I'm dating, etc., for example, unless I consider that person a friend and want them privy to that information.

You hold conversations with every guy who steps to you offline? I understand what you're saying, what I'm trying to do right now is get you to understand what I'm saying too.

Not with every guy/person. I also choose not to interact with some people online, too.

I'm trying to understand what you're saying...but I don't think that every person is different online vs offline...I just think that it's a different way of communicating; however, that doesn't make you a different person.

If you know me on here
  • You've seen my blog (probably)
  • you've seen my picture (it's in the men of TLR thread)
  • you know my name (or you can find it by checking my blog description under the left sidebar called "who the fukk are you")
  • you've might of heard my music (I record under my real name and have been and it's been featured on flyers)
  • you know where I grew up at *(if I didn't tellyou, you would of read about it anyways)
  • you know how old I am (because of the avi...my birthday i August 3rd)
  • you know what city I live in (because it's in my info)
The bottom line is I feel no reason to hide on the internet...and never did. I don't lie about myself on here or online or create an alternate persona and there's no need for me too. Why? Cause that's just who I am. I look good, I'm confident in who I am, and I actually have works of art in the public sphere so to speak.

You can check the resume. When I talk about certain things and people, I'm referring to attitudes positive and negative. I don't hate on people for no reason cause it's wack and I'm too old for that. I treat people with the same amount of respect online as far as offline and never felt a reason to try to "troll" anyone.

Check the resume !

In fact, this is the reason I now tread with water when it comes to what I say and what I do online. Because as the resume grows I'll need to tread with caution as far as thoughts and opinons that may reflect negatively on my behalf.

The thoughts we share here are not relegated to the people we chose/chose not to interact with. I think this is the crux to understanding the point im attempting to make.

The fact that you only quote and interact with certain people here doesn't relagate those interactions to you and that person.

Do you get the point im making here? The signifcance of it is important for you to understand before i attempt to further explain what I'm saying.

I'm probably more honest here. I sometime use language that I typically don't use in real life though. :yeshrug:

genuine question, does anyone actually use CAC in real life? :heh:

I get called that shyt ever other thread I post in, but have never once heard outside of the Coli

Da city where the skinny nikkas die
i use this place to express some of my more ridiculous thoughts. beyond the fukkery I like engaging in serious discussions here or there. especially when its putting cacs in their place.

beyond that i have no desire to get to know any of you or put a pic of myself out there. (although im related to someone on here) my pm box is empty and i like it like that. :aah:​

Well said homie and it touches on another point I wanted to bring up when you say, "In fact, this is the reason I now tread with water when it comes to what I say and what I do online."

The amount of anonymity people have varies from person to person. Some people have revealed their faces, some have revealed their voices, some have revealed nothing at all. My thought is to get people to acknowledge how the varying levels of anonymity they have here affect how they express their thoughts, however that may be.
