If you are socially awkward in life are you also awkward online?

I'll go for my official Asperger's Eval later this month.
I'm a nice guy.
I'm also getting older and I have less and less patience for bs.
I'm really a nice guy but some of the feedback I get makes no sense.
Sometimes I'm not AS clear as I could be. But I'm also not putting in "master of English" level work into a forum's feedback.
There are some quality people in here that seem to see through my imperfections but there are some self-righteous ass wipes that can't see through their self-centered arrogant short-sighted childish woke socialist agenda.
Fuck them.
If you watch someone over time and see they mean well. For those of you who've done that I appreciate you.
For the fuck-tards that see one comment and judge everything about me...

[WowwGirl]

I totally get it

[Andres77]

You make me wanna boxing-spar with you and then go out for BBQ ribs and beer!

[WowwGirl]

Sounds awesome

[Andres77]

St Louis style or Baby-back ribs? Hard apple cider or IPA or bourbon?

[WowwGirl]

I'm from Midwest so,,, st Louis and bourbon

[WowwGirl]

I like imported beers... Fancy like that lol

[Andres77]

Classy and smart and tough...
Run for office. I'll vote for you every day of the week...😉

[WowwGirl]

Thank you

[WowwGirl]

Smart and classy are debatable lol

Not really socially awkward either way. Sometimes things get awkward but that is inevitable. It pisses people off when you just don't give a shit. I'll usually say what I mean and what I think, unless it is not my business or place to do so.

I can't say i am operating on the same MO (Modus Operandi) - the same function as the average man however. I am willing to say something I believe, if I think I should - even if, it could mean a fight or being instantly vilified by a group. I'm willing to fight over it. There have been occasions I was willing to be shot or stabbed potentially by consequences of saying what I wanted. How far are you willing to go? These are uncommon scenarios but they can happen.
For instance, I will often tell people who are pro life or atheist they are full of shit basically if they talk to me about it. The same goes for white knights, simps, feminazis, white supremacists and even cops.

I'm socially awkward in real life because people aren't people anymore. My generation spends a lot of time online and they come across different to me.
That makes it hard for me to relate.

I'm not sure if we've crossed paths here before.
In most situations people seem to be able to understand me, relate to what I'm saying. Don't see me as awkward I don't think. Maybe sensitive... I dunno.

[whirled_up_girl]

In many ways though I am I'm socially awkard both in person and online though probably more in person. I'm more shy and introverted in person even though I like chatting with people and exchaging ideas both in person and online. it just seems to take me longer in person to come out of my shell.

[BrosephBrostar]

Depends on the person, obviously, but I find that I sometimes can be a stuttering mess when actually talking to someone if I don't have my thoughts in order, but that's rendered irrelevant on a message board since you have essentially infinite time to gather your thoughts and respond.

[CHadwww]

I wouldn't call myself socially awkward, but it depends on the situation. People disguise themselves as Anonymous because they are afraid of the consequences of their comments, so they display their real colors by concealing themselves online.

[WowwGirl]

Guess I'm good

[cth96190]

I am socially awkward.
To me, being in a room full of people and being required to make nice with them is one Dante’s levels of Hell.
Such is the life of someone who was left with high functioning Asperger’s Syndrome by childhood vaccinations.
I can assume a persona that will make the interaction possible, but it is exhausting.

[CuriousJC]

I am socially awkward in real life such as trying to meet people face-to-face without having my heart trying to jump out of my chest and run away due to shyness. But social awkwardness online is a different story, it depends if you're texting online while people is around if it's by yourself then of course it's not awkward because you're able to think and talk without messing yourself up or letting people hear what you're saying.

[RolandCuthbert]

That is a great question for a lot of the males here.

[WowwGirl]

Thanks

[Gwenhwyfar]

Not necessarily but it’s unlikely you’ll be a social dynamo online either

[WowwGirl]

I've noticed this

[Gwenhwyfar]

Same

[WowwGirl]

I think a web cam would tell

[moviedude714]

It's a reminder how I feel my mindset in perspective has changed towards overcoming or getting rid of social awkwardness or no longer being socially inept, I feel I can write a whole essay or couple paragraphs on that

[KoolKid66]

In real life I'm incredibly awkward because of low self esteem... You would be surprised how cringey and awkward a human can be without even trying... Yet online I'm not awkward at all and completely normal. It's frustrating cos I really can't control how I am in real life. My nerves take over me

[KoolKid66]

I'm a virgin because of it and probably always will be. And have no friends. And never had a girlfriend. Never will

You really miss out a lot in life when your ugly and have no self esteem. I'm pretty much restricted to staying in my house and doing nothing but watch YouTube. Oh well

[InferiorElegy]

It depends, if it's somewhere online where I can think for an hour as I type a response so I don't seem as retarded as I am, somewhere like here then no I don't feel like I'm being awkward but if it's instant private messaging or voice chat or especially video chat (which I refuse to do anymore for reasons) then I can't really hide the fact that I'm awkward and retarded.

[DJB72]

Nope.

I've met enough people from both that show the anonymous nature of the net brings out the paper tiger.

[Shizunk]

Those are very different skills. I can be very eloquent in writing, if I have the time and motivation, but then freeze up when I have to say more than two words in real life.

[silkjames]

I'm out going either way!! But too to a awkward dude I think it would be easier online I would think!

[IAMNathanael]

I am in both but I might be slightly better online. Probably

[AndrewMG]

I think I'm more socially awkward online, I'm quite a shy guy but very open to my close friends in real life. So anyone who is close to me would be shocked to think I class myself as shy whilst strangers would completely understand this.

[WowwGirl]

You are not shy.
Pants on fire

[AndrewMG]

It's true! I just hide it well! lol

[slatyb]

I was awkward when I divorced so I started dating online. After meeting a few women and discovering that they mostly liked me, I was a lot less awkward. Sometimes I still feel like I'm a river of TMI.

[Justneedtokno]

I think most people are fearless online but when it comes to people in person they don’t know how to handle themselves.

Good thing I’m able to say whatever I want online to the persons face.

[aintnocandle]

I’m way less awkward online and I wish my online persona and self assurance carried over irl. I’m not sure why it doesn’t

[KoolKid66]

Same

[NewgodX]

Ofcourse we can all pretend but not for a long time if someone is a freak that person will eventually show his freakness

[TacosRAwesome]

Less so probably. Although I don't post on Facebook.

[convo_king89]

Online you don’t have to worry about being judge or stupid. That’s why online people sometimes troll people. And if your anonymous online no one knows who you are if you do fuck up. IRL, now it’s face to face your “exposed”
