web Your Internet Persona

[TwilizzleFoShizzle 95]

My internet persona would royally fuck me over IRL, im an arrogant douche, a troll, a scammer, the whole 9 yards. if I acted like I do on the internet, I would be starting world war III between Mexicanadamerica (the new country formed after I toppled the US) and China within 20 minutes.. Needless to say, by then my head would be resting on a wooden pike being paraded through the streets of Brazil. I see the future...

Well In the webs Im a Masked Luchador addicted to ponies  who hosts and direct a videogame podcast and hypes up the live commentary of  VG tournaments from all around my country... so yes I think is true... yes my mom is so proud of me =D

My internet persona is pretty much me, but in a social setting with my small handful of close friends. Since I'm currently somewhat getting over my shyness in real life, my internet persona and casual real life persona are merging. I am a very different person at my summer job though, I become what I can only describe to be a mix of Rainbow Dash and Applejack from Applebuck Season.

[Clawdeen 14,151]

I feel like I’m the same person online as in real life

[Splashee 28,564]

I have always been surprised that people online want to know me, the real me, instead of my internet persona. I have always seen the internet as a place where I don't have to be myself, and escape the reality. instead, reality is what seems to be interesting to people and I understand that

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

I try to be as kind, respectful, and creative as I am in real life. I'm having trouble pinpointing any obvious differences between online me and IRL me but if I had to say anything, it would be that I share a lot more art and stories online than I do IRL. 

[Ice Princess Silky <3 13,902]

I feel like in the physical world, I can't be as wholesome... because people see that as naive and even foolish. So when it comes to my work or projects, I come off as well focused or closed off unless I'm enthusiastic (which, let's be honest, is always bubbling underneath and sometimes spills over like a shaken up Pinkie Pie soda bottle).

So the internet allows me to unveil this side and cultivate it properly without my having to deal with "real world experts" who will "correct it" when all they're being is either edgy or pessimistic... which is fine for them but doesn't really do anything for me...

I do think the internet does allow us to be a more open aspect of ourselves and what I do like about it is that you don't judge someone's appearance but their raw character/who they are. And if they're just a persona, then hey, that's also a piece of them somewhere! 

 

[Flying Pencil 3,024]

My internet persona is basically me IRL. Kind, social, respectful, creative, sympathetic, etc. I don't like to troll people and I respect everyone as long as they are a good person.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I seem to be a more social person on the internet than in real life, but aside from that, there are no significant differences between my internet self and my real self.

[Dreambiscuit 9,691]

I’m almost exactly the same. If I’m not willing to say or do something face-to-face in real life, then it’s probably not appropriate anywhere online either. I don’t like rudeness online just because I can hide behind an avatar, and I don’t like it when people treat me badly either. So it’s the usual rule of thumb to treat others as I would have them treat me. The Golden Rule applies everywhere. Granted, I do sometimes speak a little bit candidly and probably shouldn’t. And I can be rather opinionated as well, which doesn’t always sit well with others. But at least it’s the real me, online and off, for whatever it’s worth.

[MaxAnim 41]

Online I’m very pessimistic but more outgoing.

In real life I don’t speak a lot and I try to not mess up a conversation.

[Skylight Scintillate 2,031]

I feel like I’m slightly more outgoing online and I’m able to express my opinion more freely.

[Savy 5,077]

Online I'm way more outgoing, but irl I'm just shy and awkward (Not as much as I used to be though)

[Sparklefan1234 170,752]

I've always been 100% me on the forums and  I'm SO HAPPY that I have friends on MLPF who like me for being myself.

It is in contant fluctuation. Because my mind is trying to "get out". And you can probably see the wild variations I experience. I am trapped in a spiderweb and falling, getting stuck in more cobwebs, and I am struggling and tossing myself from one side to the other, until this delusion finally falls apart.

You know what's funny, although we still dont know each other that well, Molly McGee is probably one of the best fictional representations for your personality lol. It's awesome that your art can make so many people happy, and that it's helped you make so many friends...

 

I've always spoke my piece and been 100% honest on the forums with my opinions and my life problems, and my preferences.. I'm just not good at "making friends" or I guess gaining trust, I feel like an outsider even in places I feel should act as a comfort zone, but ppl have always wanted me to feel that way I suppose. It takes time I guess, irl, sometimes I seem more rude or sarcastic, but I can be like that online to.. and irl I'm not surrounded by ppl whose friendship I'm trying to acquire rather family who can always nag you from time to time(we get along though) or ppl I just don't want in my life in general and am trying to avoid.. unfortunately all the ppl I'd love to have in my life don't seem that interested in friendship with me, and all the toxic ppl I'm trying to get away from want to lure me/force me into accepting them in my life... Hope a big change comes soon

Sort of. I'm more extroverted online, but obviously that's because I feel like I have more freedom to express myself.

[swordsman 192]

I am like that skillet song monsters. the real me is way to metal for here or a lot of places.

[Octavian 5,421]

essentially online me is bit like IRL me when I'm tipsy. by the time I'm more than tipsy the two converge  

[Ice Princess Silky <3 13,902]

Yeah. Scratch what I've said above. <3 
Ever since I've been more immersed in my own element, I've been more open with my optimism and personality on the outside as well.

I think after covid when businesses really struggled I simply got used to pessimistic business folk and kept my optimism on the inside only. But now <3 
Everyone else who doesn't "resonate" simply don't stick around and the fun people are happy to be near <3 <3 <3

I carry who I am no matter where I go. I hate hiding behind a mask just to make myself look good. That's the biggest lie to yourself you can ever pull off. 

[Nightmare Saturn 815]

somehow my internet persona neither depicts how I act in real life or how Stellar Heights acts in my stories. Neither of us really care for social interaction, I think mainly because I'm shy. Stellar never really meets new ponies because she likes to keep to her star studying and dusty old books 

Although one of my big things here and IRL is art, which pits me real close with a couple of my OCs, the ones that I'm closely tied to are Artful Splash, Rebel (not a pony) and Paint a-lot Squirrel, my care bears/care cousin OC. 

 

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

I like to think that my internet persona is who i am irl, unless it is in a rp oc, then it's a bit more living vicariously
