Are You Different From Your Online Persona?

Many of us have been using the internet to socialize, be it through the likes of WLM, Yahoo, gTalk, Ping.sg, WhoLivesNearYou or even through blogs. I am quite sure that many of you has some point in time thought if the personality that you portray through these mediums are actually who you really are.

I’ve been socializing on the internet since 1997 through popular mediums such as mIRC and ICQ. Being the horny curious teenager that I was back then, I got to know many friends online and eventually met up with quite a lot of them.

Only a handful of those that I met and got to know personally are friends to this very date. There are ALL SORTS of personalities on the internet who is so different from their true selfs in the flesh.

There are the types who will KNN, CCB, FARK YEW, BURN-YOUR-KUKU, SLAP-YOUR-NEH-NEH kinds on the internet but once you meet them, they are as small as hobbits and have voices of cute, cuddly care bears.

There also the types who is all nice and caring on the internet who only wants to FWEN FWEN you and end up trying to get in your skirts and in your zippers once you meet them.

Even in real life, people are already putting up different masks and thus different personalties. So when one goes on the net where there is a lesser chance of someone calling you a fake, the odds are higher that you’ll be someone different on the internet.

For me, I think my internet persona is at most times, my true self. But it is a more amplified version of my personality (i.e Crazier and Lame-er). And if I take into consideration that I write/type better than I speak, I think my internet persona at my serious times is more ‘me’ than the Krisandro most know in real life.

So, the big question……

Remember mIRC and #CyberSex?

For all those netizens who are around my age, I am sure you all remember the good old days where we use ICQ and mIRC to socialize. ICQ is used to keep known friends but unfortunately, the former popular application has now turned into a toothpaste.

As for mIRC, it’s where the fun is! For the people who don’t know what it is, it’s an Internet Relay Chat client which allows users to connect to various servers around the world and chat with all sorts of people in various channels(Chatrooms).

One of the most interesting channels that every person had to go in for at least once would be #Cybersex. Of course it didn’t take me long for me to figure out that 98% of the people in that chatroom are actually guys and the remaining 2% of the girls are too busy trying to fend off the desperate guys.

What you may NOT KNOW about the 98% of the guys is that a small percentage of them visits the channel impersonating as females to make fun of you horny men. Like me.

Below are the screenshots of some of the conversations in #Cybersex with me pretending to be a girl called “Kristy”.
