OT Poll How much are you like your forum persona?

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Well, I have no idea of how to describe my personality (online and offline), so I guess that says something about me.

I feel I can express myself more freely online, not limited by unspoken conventions or expectations (not that I ignore the rules, mind you) that I have to deal with in RL. There, I often find it's a struggle to express myself properly, and simply to be. Sometimes I feel like who I am offline is not necessarily who I want to be, but more the person people expect me to be.

Online, I feel I can be myself more than I can be in real life. I prefer the personage of "Strategia" more than who I really am (but don't go around thinking I'm some kind of freaked-up sociophobe), simply because I can be who I really want to be.

I prefer the forums to talking to someone face to face. Not that I don't like a good conversation, but I just like the idea of being able to express myself without it having consequences for me in real life.

I haven't voted. If I were to cast a vote, the most likely approximation would be the top option, but "Online I am who I really am, offline I'm not" would be more accurate.
