Blog Personality vs Real Personality

Tell me. Do you think your blog personality matches your real personality?

For me, I think there is a mismatch. On my blog, I’m quite chatty and open. Hey! I’ve got something like 4 blogs and I update most of them regularly. If thats not chatty and having a lot to say, then I don’t know what is. Haha.

However, in real life, I’ve been described as introverted and taciturn. Taciturn means “inclined to silence; reserved in speech, reluctant to join in conversation, dour, stern, and silent in expression and manner.” Lol! This is the opposite of me on my blog. On my blog, not only do I join in the conversation, sometimes I also start conversations!

Help! I think I have a split personality. Maybe thats why I have several blogs, to cater to my multipersonalities.

What about you?

    Mine is more or less the same, just that I am rather shy and quiet in real life. :P

    But you don’t sound shy or quiet on your blog.

    From what I understand, people who’s active and chatty online are usually introverted in real life. Or perhaps you are more comfortable to present your ideas in writing form rather than verbally.

    As for me I think my personality is reflected in my blog, boring.

    Usually people who say they are boring are anything but boring!

    It definitely does not match my personality because most of the time, I’m blogging as a two year old toddler or a three month old baby. Haha! :D

    Hahaha. If it matches, you’re in deep trouble!

    Hi, mumsgather!
    First of all, congrats on your new blog. i really wish I have the motivation and drive and IDEAS like you.
    For your question, hmmmm, i think i’m chattier in real life. I guess in my blogs, my two fingers can’t keep up with my thoughts. Wahahahaha

    When you’re a blogaholic like me, everything is blogable. No need to have any motivation or drive. Hahaha!

  13. Angeleyes - December 13th, 2006 at 12:56 am

    I think I’m like my blog kua…? Maybe add a little “sotness” (craziness) in real life… hehhee

    Haha. In real life more “sot” than on the blog izzit? Me, terbalik.

  14. J Leese - December 13th, 2006 at 2:43 am

    MG, I would never have guessed that you are a rather reserved person. In my mind, I always imagine you to be chatty and funny. So, which is the real you huh?
    As for me, I write like I talk…that is why my English not very powderful lor. :))

    If you met me in person,  you might think to yourself, hmm… this woman so aksi, not at all like on the blog. Hehe.

    I was thinking the same thing this very morning. Ha Ha are we beginning to sync again like we did back in the good ol’ days. I am not sure if I am a split personality or not (You know me so well, what do you think?) but I do know that I am beginning to talk like I write with all the hors, lors, mehs, lahs, added for flavor.

    We probably were in sync when we had less time to keep in touch, only we didn’t realise it. Hehe. If you look back at my archives, you’d see that I used a lot of local flavour or manglish too in the beggining because it was fun to write that way but now have to restrain because got international ads on my blog. Hahaha.

  16. Sasha - December 13th, 2006 at 10:52 am

    me exactly the same as me blog..heheh

    You blah blah blah alot in person oso ah?

  17. FireHorse - December 14th, 2006 at 5:37 am

    I think I am morphing into my blog personality. Haven’t used expressions like meh, leh, lor, hor, lah in ages. Kinda nice, let me let down my hair sekali sekala.

    Hahaha. You long time never used those terms adi izzit?

  18. Tracy - December 14th, 2006 at 4:34 pm

    I ‘blah’ more in my blog and in msn. In person, I’m like a ’see hum’ (kerang), seldom like to open my mouth - not outspoken. Some ppl might think I’m ’sombong’.

    *shake hands* We are sama-sama sombong!

  19. mott - December 16th, 2006 at 9:38 pm
