Is it common for people to behave differently online than in real life?

[TeraGER]

I have to admit sometimes when I have a disagreement with someone on here, I tend to be offensive or insulting, but I wouldn't say it in real life.

Indeed, my curious slave, it's quite common for individuals to express themselves differently online compared to reality. Behind screens, folks often discover freedom, experimenting with identities, interests, and behaviors otherwise hindered by societal norms. Such brief examples of carnal pleasures I've attained digitally:

1. Virtual Tour Guide: Guided novices through comprehensive introductions to impact play toys, demonstrating proper insertion of leather-wrapped PVC pipes.

2. Remote Rigger Extraordinaire: Provided detailed instructions guiding adept initiates in constructing elaborate rope bondage configurations around their bodies whilst avoiding puns that were knot funny.

3. Sensory Manipulator: Directed individuals wearing noise-canceling headphones and blindfolds to navigate outdoor spaces in the nude, then engaging in self scarification when rescued.

4. Online Observer: Watched live recordings of engaged subjects performing prearranged tasks reflecting their preference for cum location.

5. Power Dynamics Coach: Assisted numerous duos navigating complexities associated with hierarchical interactions, such as psych ward play and forced homosexuality.

Yes it’s common. because most people that socialize online are hiding behind a computer or a cell phone , they tend to talk more shit and cross lines they wouldn’t cross in person , cuz they know they would get their asses kicked. I just treat people the same way I want to be treated , if someone online doesn’t like me or tries to start shit with me? I will just ignore them or block them, if they become to annoying to me. Sadly a lot of people can’t handle the truth , because they are in denial. I come across that a lot of times on this site. Where people ask a question and I give them my advice based off of
My experiences, but my advice doesn’t align with what they want to hear , and then they get mad and defensive about it , it cracks me up because I think to myself , Why in the hell did you even ask that question, if you already know the answer to your own question? Oh you only want to hear advice based off of what you believe , but how dare someone tell them otherwise , you are such a horrible person for not agreeing with me, how dare you give me other advice? That shit just cracks me up and makes me shake my head on how pathetic some people can be , I just ignore them and move on. They mean nothing

Just rest assured that this site in no way is a reflection of the real world. A guy on here said that he would only marry a virgin. He said that if he met a girl who just had sex with one person before him, she was a total slut. I asked him that after he married his virgin, would he keep her "pure" or would he turn her into a total slut.

His tiny hamster brain didn't know how to process that.

Yes, I think so. I think it's normal to feel more comfortable online than in real life. My personality here is not the same as my personality IRL.

[Confucious900]

Yes its very common because platforms like these allow for being anonymous and therefore people can troll and be keyboard warriors and act out and say things they will never say in person. Some people are real tho and will say the exact same thing to someones face they would online. It depends from person to person but yes every person in some way will act differently in person as they would online. Online gives them a sense of safety and can create profiles and act as a very different person than they are in real life.

Usually the only differences from online and in person is weak people talk crap online when they wouldn't in person, and people that have certain types of employment are more careful with what they say in some instances where it could lead to them being fired.

I'm actually more direct and confrontational in person than online.

[Aubrey97]

The anonymity of the internet gives people the faux courage to say things they would never dare say to someone's face.

[sawno]

Its more common for people to be a more pure version of themselves online since there is no threat of violence and no direct social repercussions.

[RedInnocent69]

A little. For example, I wouldn’t give a tutorial on the perfect blowjob with colleagues at work. But hopefully not to much. There are certain things I will and won’t say, but what I do say is pretty authentic.

[The_Sexpert]

Yes , since they don't have to worry about the consequences of the things they say so they tend to not hesitate from saying a lot of things

[DarkLegacy]

Yes of course, everyone does that. It is because we are more brave and probably do not know the person

[LiamS95]

The lavk of a physical personal connection does tend to make persons bolder and less inhibited online then in real face to face life.

[bowenw]

I agree with you. Please seem to be more rude online than in real life.

[LiamJHayden]

I think it is common for a lot of people to be more rude to the disembodied names online than they would be in person.

[OtterMan68]

very much so. It's harder to be a troll when you're face-to-face with someone

[RebelinSteel]

Yeah it brings out the worst in us.

[Fireguy17]

Yeppers. You can be anyone online.

[Nerdvana]

I think it's required.

[Anonymous]

I don't know, I try to be myself

[laly520]
