Recently I’ve been noticing a trend in social interactions via the internet. What I found was that generally, people tend to sugarcoat who they are when using the World Wide Web. I only started noticing this when I accidentally came across friends I know in real life who are using websites like myspace.com; it shocked me to see how different they look in the pictures they upload, how different they sound when they’re talking about who they are and in reality… even though I know it’s them, if you let me read what they wrote with out seeing their pictures, I could never guess it’s the same people I know in real life. It’s so easy to exaggerate when you’re sitting alone in your room, behind a computer desk. There’s nobody in your face who can tell if you’re lying, nobody is going to ask you to provide proof of who you are, nobody can see you to verify if what you say is true… it’s just you and your self, that’s the only person who can stop you from lying and most of the times; you fail. And on this board, it’s very well possible that we do have people who are being fake about who they are. It’s the easiest and in fact most abundant thing on this board and many other boards to... act hard. Shit like, I’ll do this to you and do that and I’m this strong and I have that and I have these... I’ve met him, she’s my buddy… I mean people just talk and talk about how dope they are, when it might be the complete opposite in real life. To compensate for the sorry ass lives people are living, they might come online and create a lie.. a lie that people believe in and by having people believe in that lie... they might feel better, and in fact might spend 12 hours a day on an internet forum , having 25 posts a day… because they no longer live in reality, rather they live in a fictional world we call the internet. You have people dissing rappers and swear that these rappers are fake and wanksters, but I dare these people to say this shit to their face.. They wouldn’t, and that’s what’s hypocritical and fake.

I don't need to talk about what i've been through in life or the obstacles i've had to over come to be the person I am today to FEEL GOOD about my self. I know who I am but the question is.. these people who lie about themselves, who create stories.. who act hard... who act is if in real life they're big shots.. they're all that... are they really OK with who they are?

If you spend many hours online, doing research… reading articles that educate you... communicating with loved ones who aren't in the same country as you are... when your job is online.. then really, you're a normal person using the internet.

However, if you're a person... who spends many hours online reading articles about celebrities, posting 20,30 even 40 posts a day on discussion boards and these posts are truly immature and have no intellect in them...if you are obsessed with selling your life as a hot shot, attractive, smart, gangsta, thugged out dude ONLINE when in real life you ain't shit... when you're simply, creating a fake life online to feel better.. then dude, or dudette.. you're A LIE... you're fake

Get off the internet, and be who you are in real life.. stop acting hard on the internet, stop acting like you'd beat somebody up if by any chance you saw him/her in real life.. stop acting like you know it all, stop acting like you're better than everybody when really that's just your own way to deal with your low self esteem and your insecurities... stop juding people you know nothing about.

Get a mutha fuckin life that's real, quit fakin quit lyin.


Well you already look too internet orientated at it. I for me agree that i act on the internet like i'd never act in real life sometimes too, but that doesn't mean i have no real life, now does it?
For me Internet is just another medium for entertainment, it's fun (in regards to online forums and such) and of course a good place for informations. The buddies i got in my aim / msn list are mostly people i'd be cool with in real life too and therefore having fun with also (refering to the "LOL", "WTF" stuff ect. wich prolly means for you "havin no real life"). It's not the same thing when you talk to someone over net than face to face anyway, that's why smilies and net language like "pwn" or "lol" are nessessairly cause you can't really recognize by letters if the dude on the other side is laughin now or not, know what i mean.

My Post is more about Amara's question, not your report. I know what you mean though, I also saw someone acting wild over the net while he was a complete loser in real life, but i wanna say it differs from person to person that's why you can't really say who has no life and who has one. UNDERSTOOD YOU FUCKING QUEERBAG!?? (<-- good example for something i'd never say in real life :) )

lol. definitely. wont mention names though. but you can take my bro tru principle off the list, that's my real homie out there in lebanon.

I appreciate it brother! There's so many people I met off this board that i'd bet my word on that they are even realer in their daily lives. You can see it through their music, their intellectual posts, their discussions and even in their jokes! and you guys know who you are!
 
The internet as a whole is full of fakers. It's easy for them to lie because most of the time they won't get exposed for who they really are. Sad but true.
 
I think i'm the same online as I am in real life. Ask anyone who knows me on here as well as in real life and I think they'd agree with me. If anything, I'm probably way more serious in real life, which is why i'm more silly on here. Because I get online to relax, I don't want to be stressed online and i'm stressed in real life. Instead of taking out my aggressions at people online (as if they don't have feelings as well) I just chill out. So my personality online may differ a little from my real life personality, but not so much so.

But anything as far as my job, my new car, where I live etc, all thats fact. I wouldn't make up stories about what I have in reference to materialistic things. No point. And there are quite a few people who can verify anything i've stated as far as the above mentioned.

I dont see how anyone would possibly know if somebody is being fake. I dont know your history, you dont know mine.

Sure but what about the people you know in real life then you see them online and see how different they are online? and I mean REALLY different.

oh, and Tru, this was one of the best posts ive read on this board in the last months.

This topic has been done to death. What Tru said in his essay is what people have been saying since the birth of the Internet. His points are:

1. People lie to feel better about themselves
2. Portray a "hard" image and in real life are "pussies"

His post was not ground-breaking. It's like a post in WoW criticizing Bush's foreign policy. I'm not hating, Tru, I just don't like it when BeReal says something stupid. :)

Moving on.

Yes, this board probably has people that portray a different person than they really are. However, I think there's much less on this board than on other boards on the internet. So, we're actually good compared to others. If somebody used the search function, there are many topics such as "Are you the same person in real life as on the internet?" as well as my very own that asked about members that show little to no personality through their posts.

The people that actually make a presence on this board and that I think are fake, I've already pointed out to them and others. That's as far as I will go. I'll leave it to Traz to do the exposing.

i never said said Trus post was ground-breaking or good...i said it was one of the best posts ive read in the last months....so it was actually a hidden critizism concerning the quality of most posts :mad:
 
i have been faking this whole time...i really am a black 44 year old woman.


you all are a bunch of puss-c's, call them out, drop some names, and lets make this shit more interesting.
 
I reakon I do fake it a bit sometimes. Just as real life when you mimic someones body language to make them feel more comfortable, you mimic people on the net too.

Not on here though - I really am a dick!!

C'mon, name names. *mumbles*Wouldn't get this sort of thing if I was still a 75 year old lepper, playing in the tiddlywink championships on the great wall of China with my half bread catfish tiny!!!
