hey dont worry
im the same
in real life.. i am soooo shy and i hate it.. it stops me from making so many friends, because im just to embarassed to talk incase i make myself look like a complete idiot
but online i chat away an never stop
i met this guy once in real life.. and he said i was nothing like what he thought id be.. like in how much i spoke
so dw! its totally normal :)

Yeah =)

It just sucks because she (person I met in real life after online) thought I hated her or something from the difference in how I was acting. I think I'm going to lay off the myspace for a bit heh.

Been there too..It's very odd if you continue to talk with some person you've met online, after meeting her/him in person..
The funny thing is that online you may say very easily "love you" or "care about you"..though you know the person for real..but when you meet her again..you're like.. "nice shoes.. nice weather"..it may be double personality created by this fictional space..or a way to escape our stiffness..
Keep on chating

Oh my God, what a coincidence!

When I masturbate, I feel that I'm much more sexually prolific!

It's due to the endorphins, Weird-Boy.

There was a girl at my high school that never answered you when you asked her something, she wouldn't even reply to teachers in class. One day my friend stumbled on her xanga page and this girl had freaking essay blogs.

It seems people feel freer on the internet because other people can only see what they want them to see. A certain camera angle with pictures and careful choice of words with text, it's like you're weeding out the ordinary or ugly parts about yourself and showing everyone just the good. When you meet them in real life, all of a sudden you're aware of the all things that you had been filtering from them, and you choke.

There's a huge difference bewteen interpersonal relationships and interNET relationships. You can make friends with both, but the first requires more effort and social skill. Don't let the internet make you forget how to communicate the old fashioned way. Making the leap from talking on a computer to talking in real life is a HUGE change, and that explains your situation.

It's because on the internet you're faceless.

i think evry1 feels like that!!!!!!!!
i no i defnitly do!!!!!!;)
i'm shy in real life 2!!!!!
bt u cant shut me up on the internet!!!!!!!

Yeh Im Sort Of The Same..
But When I Met Up With Someone It Was Just Awkward For The First 5 Mins Coz I Thought Maybe He Didnt Like Me.. Seemed Like He Did Tho!
Errm Yeh Its Normal. I Think Alot Of People Feel The Same Because Online.. Say MSN You Can Block A Person From Talking To You But In Real Life You Cant.. Like Someone Said Before You Can Choose To Only Show The Good Things About Yourself Online.. As In Only Tellin The Good Things.. Or Editing Photos That People Online See To Make Yourself Look Better.
Also By Editing Your Photos You Can Get More Self Esteem Meaning Talkin To More People Is More Easier As Tellin Someone You Like Them Is Much Easier Online Then In Real Life For Most. Aswell You Can Change The Way You Look In A Photo.. Maybe Better Then In Real Life.
Might Not Be True For Everyone.. Just A Suggestion x

that's why there are sites like this

I think a lot of people are.

No one knows you and no one cares enough to find out, and if they do then they're stalkers.

It's easier because you'll never meet these people in real life.
