Different in real life?

I noticed earlier on another discussion that bloggers, in person, tend to be an introverted bunch. I'm just curious...how are you different in person than you are online?
I insist to everyone that I'm painfully shy in person...but nobody believes me. I'm just much more at ease when I know people well.
What about you?

I am exactly the same online and off. I am extroverted to a fault, however it's mostly on a superficial basis.-
I think my sense of humor is largely the same. I just hang back a lot more in person.

Hmmmmm,I've talked to u 2 much. I think ur different over the phone than u are here,but I also know other things that most don't.

I'm the same,...which is to say I see things from outside the box no matter where I go. Sometimes that is an asset. Sometimes it gets misunderstood. Sometimes it is not appreciated. Depends on the audience, I guess. -
Ya, I am quite different, even soft spoken.. But online I get to experiment a bit and adopt new behavior for offline use -
i am excruciatingly shy -
I have spent my whole adult life working in the technology field, you would think that I would be an introverted nerd. But, I'm actually very extroverted and enjoy talking with people. I'm looking for a tech Account Manager job or some sort of tech support position right now. I love technology but also love listening to people complain and then help them solve their problems.
In my last position I managed a customer support department for a software company, that was a blast! Too bad they made software for the auto industry. -
I am exactly the same! I bet that scares a few of y'all.

The same...quite the loudmouth -
I have the stick foot in mouth diesease in person. I am much calmer on line. I like to have fun both places. But I watch what I say here so I do not offend many people (notice the many there)-
I definitely censor my thoughts in my online life but not my real life

Exactly the same and NOT an introvert. I'm a social butterfly.-
dont you scare people with that mask of yours?
-
LOL, not this one. The vampire face, yes. The skull mask, yes. But not the faerie, no.
-
thats what you say

I wonder what the Lone Ranger would think?
-
LOL, all I know is kids don't hide behind their parents when I'm in faerie.

Same in real life as online.
Just without the pointy hat.
*GRIN* -
same with me! Shy person but once I get to know them well, they enjoy my friendship. Although I must say that I have improved in this area very much through much practice with my people skills. Its not easy but hey, you got to keep trying. -
I think I'm exactly the same. Though I make my living as a writer/editor I've done quite a lot of public speaking as well--trying cases once upon a time, teaching, political activism, marketing presentations, you name it. I'm definitely not shy. -
Reserved until I let my hair down. -
i'm very chatty and talk to anyone on the street
