How honest are you on the internet (and in real life)?

[Frith is Magick 1,471]

I avoid dishonesty in general, but online I can vent and rant and be a bit more sincere without having to worry about real life consequences. I also don't hide the fact that I am a brony when I'm online. I avoid disclosing information that could link directly to my identity online, but in general I don't lie.

Here is an advice: Don't trust anyone or anything on the internet.

That means, don't trust your own actions as well.

And, you can trust me! I am always honest

I'm more honest on the internet than in real life. I "lie" a lot in rl but not purposefully, is just the result of the expectations for being in a society in the type of society we're in in general.

Honesty is important to me, I'm super honest both online and off. I try my best to be anyway. I see no point in lying about stuff anywhere. 

[The Kaeya Simp 13,988]

Theres some things I'm more honest about online (being a girl for one), but I dont lie, just for some things I might not tell the whole truth depending on the situation

[ExplosionMare 18,060]

I keep a lot more from the internet than I do IRL, but that would only make sense. I wouldn’t wanna reveal a bunch of personal stuff online 

[Tom Gallagher 33,581]

I’ve always made it a point to be as honest as I could be, AJ would be happy to hear.  The forum is where I can definitely say I’m the most honest due to it being the only place where the true me comes out. 

[TBD 17,253]

I’m pretty blunt to some extend, but I know how to chose my words wisely.

[Pastel Heart 6,466]

I'll lie if I have to, mostly to people who aren't worthy of respect, but I prefer to be as honest with the people I like as possible. That goes for both offline and online 

[Narcissus 354]

I'm completely honest on the internet because I have nothing to hide. If I do want to hide something I simply don't talk about it. Simple as that. 

[Yakamaru 3,126]

I find honesty a virtue and a value people ought to have.

If there is no honesty you can't really drive any sort of conversation forward. It is something I vastly prefer, as I have no intention of being dishonest.

IRL as well as over the internet, though I will be a whole lot more reserved in person.

[zerox 1,091]

Meh I'm honest on the internets as in real life. I don't have any dark secrets or something like that, also I wouldn't care if someone disliked me if I told them something about me what they wouldn't like.

[Vefka 1,499]

I don't see a point in lying here or irl. I just don't talk about things I don't want people to know, that's all

[Adorable Lovestar 243]

I try to be as honest as I can. Also, you're almost never completely anonymous, that's good to remember.

[Codelyy 1,286]

I'm far more honest online then I am In real life. In real life, I'm just shy about admitting anything while no one can see me online 

[Olly 1,011]

I'm always honest, and I never lie, or exaggerate. 

[Splashee 28,560]

If I am going to lie here, I wouldn't spend so much time trying to be somepony. That would be such a waste.

[Cash In 22,180]

I try to stay honest since I'm not really gaining anything by lying. If anything, I'll hide something, but not by a means of being dishonest. If that makes any sense.

I'm generally honest both online and IRL, although I'm often a fair bit blunter online than I would be in a real-life situation. Nowadays I really only lie if I can't be bothered to deal with being truthful, and only about trivial things where being found out wouldn't matter much anyway, like saying something ran out at the store when I really just forgot to bring it and don't feel like going back for it. For larger things, maintaining a web of lies is far more work than simply telling the truth.

[Dark Bun 681]

I'm more honest in certain areas IRL, and vice versa online. I'm more honest about hobbies and activities online, while IRL I'm more honest with emotions.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

I'm pretty honest in certain areas. It's just when people start asking really personal questions and the like, that's when I lie/don't even respond.

[Cirrus. 1,089]

Online on this site I'm always honest, more so than real life. This forum is one of the nicest places to interact online IMO and I've been around here since '14.

In real life I'm honest, but may occasionally lie about trivial small talk things, such as saying I'm doing good even though I might be having a shit day. There's also certain things I don't see eye to eye on with my parents that I don't voice my opinion on if I think it'll just cause negativity also. Lets just say they're a little more "right of center" than I on some topics...

In real life I may also say something is fine/good even though I may not like it in order to keep peace if it really doesn't matter in the long run. I do have a line though.

There's a few people in my life who are overly opinionated or chronic complainers and It's grating. Fortunately overall I'm not picky on most things. I always think "does it really matter?" and most of the time just stay quiet.

I don't think lying leads to anything good anyways. I do agree that NOT showing ALL of your cards is a good thing sometimes though...

[Splashee 28,560]

On here, I am honest.

 

On Youtube, I am a fake! Look out ppl!

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

I'm always honest online and offline if anything I've been said to be too honest. Speak my mind whether that offends you or not, whether you'll agree with it or not honesty is very important.

I have to be honest here and other places that have heavy moderation and rules to follow.

But I do sometimes sink to a troll level in YouTube, when I know the comments or video will be taken down anyways. Why not mess with that?
