Do you act differently in real life?

[Snoopy Fan 5,594]

It depends, if I’m at home or with friends, I’m normally the nice guy that I present myself as on the forums, but if I’m at work, I’m a nervous wreck.

In real life I'm very, very quiet, and mostly keep to myself - it takes me a longer time than most to trust someone to get comfortable with joking, banters, or in depth discussions with them. Unfortunately I think it makes me come across as rude and arrogant... but it's purely self protective. (well, most of the time... lol.) I've tried being more jokey with my collague at work when he started because with me being the only other staff to engage with... I might have spooked him out seeing as it looked like it's his first job too. He seems comfortable now and at least not outwardly put off by my tendency to be quieter...

I act differently in all different situations. About the only constants with me are that I'm shy, easily annoyed, and nerdy.

The short answer is, yes. 

When I come here, I come as a pony, as somepony who believes in what Equestria stands for, and I never allow myself to forget that before I press Submit Reply.

Honestly, if I'm a pony, it isn't a struggle to remember that.

If I'm a pony, when I'm a pony, so many things are just a lot easier. 

It's no cure-all, but it's better, for me and for every pony else.

And it's increasingly confusing to me, I still also have to inhabit the human world, where nothing ever really changes, neither for the better or for worse.

In the human world, every step forward comes at the cost of two steps backwards, but then the bosses adjust the length of the game, at least according to the rules, but in terms of how far you have left to go...

Fortunately, there is so much that goes into being human that is irrelevant to being a pony, so I leave all of the differences outside the front door and bring the similarities in with me.

Given how much better it is here, why would I ever bring any of the damage and pain inside, when I have the power not to?

When MLP gives me the power to let it all go...

Sure there are slip ups and bad days and some of that can come through at times, but I don't study on letting it do so.

As a human, yes, I am very different than who I am as a pony.

Then again, the human in me desired to be a pony, so he must not be entirely different from the pony I am.

My opinions on human problems and issues, when we're manifesting in the mode of ponies is irrelevant. 

There are so many things the ponies have either solved or have a much better handle on.

Maybe after years of coming here and being a pony, some of that might start to rub off on the human I am and thus upon those around me.

That's the hope, anyways.

I am who I am and I don’t think I act differently based on where I am, either consciously or unconsciously. I’m the same pain in the backside in real life as I am here…but I wear different earrings.
