If I am, I think that's okay, so long as you're having fun. (Though if you're gonna tell me you're secretly not a nice person, I'm not gonna believe you at this point o.o Too many little pieces of evidence, )

 

Honestly, actually, I wouldn't expect anyone to act IRL quite the same way as they do online (especially in textual communication). Even in reality, people adopt different personas in different settings (I think this is part of why introducing your parents and your friends can be so embarrassing sometimes). Aside from full-blown stage personas, I usually figure it's mostly just different filters applied on the same person (for want of a better term), and that I probably won't ever get to know all the sides of most people, except those I'm closest with. (And the internet has always been a nice place to try out slightly different outward-facing personalities, since one needn't be restrained by appearance and whatnot (and the expectations that come with it) in how one presents themselves.)

 

Sorry for rambling.

Sorry for rambling.

Thanks! Also, I'm not quite sure how "nice" or "good" is defined, but I feel like most people I've met have been very good to me. Way too good, in fact ;_; Including you, obviously.

I agree with your statement about our online personalities being filters, where wherein we try to portray some of our aspects. I'm not quite sure what else to say except err thanks.

Banned because I can’t longpost right now.

Banned for wearing a hat indoors.

 

When it comes down to it I think my personality within forum games is a little bit more... gushing? Earnest? Soppy...? Than usual. It feels nice to be honest about mushier feelings, but I do occasionally worry I'm being a bother.

 

(It's just something that came of having already been that way because I was weeping over Batoto's shutdown when I came over here, I think).
