How you are different IRL vs. here/Online? ? ?

[sufi]

It's still confusing about is online "Real" or not

Internet is like motor vehicles - leads to aggression and alienation, disregard for pedestrians

it's a long time ago now since it was novel to meet up irl with people you knew first online, i never met someone who says oh you're on dissensus awesome

 

[luka]

Im exactly the same. Mixed biscuits is quite different

Weve all been online long enuf tho that the question is more, how much has being online affected your personality and changed your behaviour

 

[luka]

Specially for people like me and corpsey who are famous online celebrities but anonynous in real life

Kraner used to talk about how onlibe fame sent mark fisher mad and he bought the k medallion and tried to start a cult. Even on those very small scales it can go to your head

 

[sufi]

so if people suppress bits from their online identity then they will become like that irl too 😲

 

[luka]

What do you mean sorry?

I reckon I'm noticeably angrier offline. You've more time to think and keep your composure online.

I don't feel it really has, tbh. I basically forget about anything to do with the internet when I'm socialising in person, unless someone starts talking about it. They're still two distinct worlds to me.

@line b says everyone he's met irl that we both know online's been completely normal.

 

[luka]

I wouldnt say any of them are normal exactly

The main example of the internet influencing people irl I've personally encountered is the one I talked about a while back when I said my cousin diagnoses herself and others with mental health issues based on things she's seen on TikTok. That was quite odd. A moment of 'Oh, it's not just a meme. There really are people like that".

I Was thinking more about how you perfprm yourselfbonline and then that perfprmance influences the way you perform yourself offline

 

[version]

I'm more reasonable and patient online. I try to translate it into real life, but it's harder to keep your composure when someone's being a dickhead directly in front of you. I think my humour's different offline too.

 

[luka]

Im the other way round

 

[luka]

But i think you interact with more dickheads and trying people than i do

 

[version]

I'm polite by default, but it's probably easy to tell from my facial expressions and body language if I'm angry.

 

[shiels]

I think I am nicer IRL because you see the vulnerable human reacting, the very fact of your physical presence requires certain forms of attention and acknowledgment , manners basically … you can forget all that here

 

[luka]

Sometimes i treat arguing with my real friends like i treat it on here and then they get really emotional and wound up
