Some people are more confident online due to the anonymity while others are more comfortable face to face and find text conversation difficult.
Regardless it's always best to try and be yourself online and not try to be someone or something different because it never works |

I don't lack confidence online but am definitely more wary of people as not everyone is who they claim to be and some are experts at keeping up a facade. There's no pretence with me as I am who I am.If I decide to meet someone then I'm obviously more comfortable and at ease with them so its easier to be more relaxed and confident in their company. |

Yes there are too many of those facade experts so it's always good to be wary.
I can quite happily carry on a conversation with anyone but as my profile says clearly it has to be two way conversation.
Anything other than that and I get suspicious and back away. |

What I show of myself here is pretty much the same as my offline world, but I do find it easier to chat and talk in real life rather than back and forth messages on here.
Sometimes I just don't have the head for text or message ping pong and can go weeks without chatting on here. There's not the same flowing conversation as in face to face.

I agree with you
If the messages are batting back and forward with no progress I switch off |

It's not a non progress thing with me though, I wouldn't be chatting to anyone at all if I didn't want to, it's that I was never a text conversation type and I find it hard to just sit at a phone or computer for hours on end chatting.
Plus I don't feel there's a need to chat to someone every day even if you're getting on well. Just go with the flow ya know, no need to force things.

I'd say I'm more or less the same though so much nuance, timing and meaning can be lost on here compared to real life convo or even Whatsapp or Kik... i find the fab platform is too old-school if you get me
Very few of the troll types would be as ballsy or depraved in real life i image or at least hope |

"I would think most people behave differently online than in real like, as they would do in different situations in every day life."
Do you find you act differently in front of some people? |

Definitely not. I'd try to be lot more conservative on Facebook as anything you say will be stuck with you for life for any future employer to see.
As for Fab,I often just say things to stir up shit because I'm a troll  |
