Haha well you will never come across as boring :) Believe it or not, I am somewhat the same. I need to think before saying something out loud, so a lot of the time the perfect comeback I have is normally wasted because I would have thought it hours after when I should have said it. Freaking annoying actually

I've had to learn to think before I say anything in real life, because I used to engage my mouth before my brain and that kind of got me into trouble sometimes.

I am a little bit of a pushover some will say in real life, though I don't see it that way. I just have this annoying thing where I always have to understand where the other person is coming from so can't just put my foot down or let it be my way type of thing. I just don't deem it important stuff maybe, I don't know- But I wish I could shut that part of me down sometimes.

I think we all have that in us. sometimes it's not a bad thing to say before the brain has time to think. It's those moments that can be the funniest at times and the most raw too

Sometimes it does take me a while to evaluate other peoples views as well, so in essence, that is pretty annoying as well. Sometimes I just listen. I guess it just depends on my mood on the day and how I feel about the issue being presented.

I like to hear all viewpoints, even if it is something I disagree with, just so I can have a better understanding of where they are coming from. I mean I may disagree with them, but at least I know what they think about the issue.

I've seen you be like this on the forums too, and I actually think it's a great quality of yours. You don't make judgments about differing views, it's a great way to be

Yes!! How they express themselves to me also plays a factor..

I often do wonder whether in real life we would get along with the ones we do on this site or if we would clash with them, and also the ones we do clash with, would we actually be better suited as friends. The way we come across to each other on these boards is quite limited, so it makes me wonder when I see arguments across this place

Interesting point - on this board, I feel like I clash with about 95% on the people in the online environment. In real life though, I would probably clash with about 60-70% if that... I think it definitely makes a difference if you know them in real life or not. Online is not always your true self which you are solely judged on. So yeah, just my whole view on the major question.

I think I would get on with about 99% of the people here in real life.

Yeah, same here. It is quite interesting. That said, I'm exactly the same on here as I am in real life. I'm actually maybe more reserved on here than anything else, which might be a bit strange now that I think about it.
