I personally am the same person on Vizzed as I am in real life. Furthermore, I'm totally willing to share most information about my real life on here. I've posted pictures of myself numerous times, and a lot of people know my full name. I've shared where I live, where I go to college, and so on. I'd be totally willing to meet up with my Vizzed friends in real life, if any of them want to and live close enough. Some people, however, like to keep their real lives a mystery on here. There are even some people that act completely different on Vizzed, and almost play a part, rather than being themselves.

Which type of person are you? Do you like to keep information about who you are a secret? Do you act differently on here then you do in real life? Most importantly, regardless of which type of person you are, I'd like to know why. This is always something I've found interesting, so I'd love to hear people explain why they choose to go about it a certain way.

It's kind of the same situation with me. I write the same on vizzed as I do IRL, I use the same name everywhere, I complain abkut my aches and pains, and so on.

I act pretty much the same everywhere.
Except for when I'm in front of girls.
Then I turn off.

I use a similar name on Vizzed to what I use on most other sites, and I will write bits of information about myself when applicable. However, I'm usually pretty secretive when it comes to my actual personal information unless I'm really close with someone. It took quite a while before I was comfortable with revealing my first name in a video, and I'm not at all okay with anything past that. It's probably for the best, considering some of the things that happen on the Internet.

It's less an internet persona and more I'm just more comfortable with the delay of being online. I have to take time to think over things I say and how I say them, and rehearse several times in my head before I execute, and even then, execution is sloppy. This comes off as very awkward and disoriented in person, but online, I can take all the time in the world to appear as composed as I need to be. I've been a shut in for over 8 years and it's a hard thing to break, but I've been trying to chip at it here and there.

Online, especially speaking in private with people I trust, what you get's what I am on the inside that just has trouble making it to the outside in person. I guess you could say I have more of a persona in person than I do online.

I'm absolutely the same on Vizzed and in real life, maybe only I take my duties more seriously here rather than in real life

I don't keep information about me a secret, I'm just not that interesting. Even when talking to people in real life I rarely talk about things I've done. It may be a problem of me staying in my shell for such a long time that I'm afraid to go outside, but I'm slowly overcoming this issue and I'm able to talk more. I have no problem in revealing my name, just that my username is already a nickname I use in real life and so I prefer to go by that.

I guess I don't open up completely because of my location. I've shared where I live, but that's everything. In a US-oriented community and hailing from a country with a generally low-level of English speakers, I see no need to share everything about me since I'm out of reach for most. I did met a Vizzed user because his girlfriend lives close to me, and while that was unexpected, I'd love to meet somebody else as well if at all possible.

Another reason why I don't share much of me is because of my shyness. In most cases, my first reaction is to avoid. I've been wanting to make posts somewhere, but on second thought I end up putting them down. Same thing happens in real life, sometimes I try to send a mail or text someone but I can't drive myself to do it. I had thought the anonymity of the internet would allow me to fare a bit better, but it's not that way it seems.

Basically how you see me here on Vizzed, I'm basically the same way irl as well. I'm a pretty bizarre kinda guy you would even come in counter with that will make you say "What the cabbage is wrong with this guy?"

Sometimes, I like to be completely random, and I really like to be all random, no matter on where I am, here, DeviantArt, real life, or anywhere I happen to be, I'm always be myself, and there is nothing wrong for being yourself on both online communities and in real life.

I won't give away any more than I already have about who I am. I like to keep my online activity separate from real life and that applies to Vizzed as well. I'm down to voice chat with friends though. It's not like I'm insecure, it's just how I was brought up and I'm sticking to it. My goal signing up to this site was to maybe find gaming friends but to not get too invested in them should they somehow disappear on me like some have. I mean I've kind of gotten really close to some people already and am allowing myself to get closer to others, maybe against my better judgement. Might also be because I'm older now and at least willing to work to maintain friendships online.

Personality wise I'm the same as in real life. I tried faking a personality in the past and it's just so stressful to constantly keep up a persona that I eventually stopped doing it. Honestly I couldn't tell you why I did that at first. I guess I was a compulsive liar but it was something else that made me want to act as someone I'm not and I'm not sure what it was. If I tell you I like this game or laugh at this joke in voice chat then it's real. Life is too stressful already, I don't want it to be more stressful. 

Hmmm... I think some of the information on me out there wasn't completely intentional of me to share, but I don't regret anything. I'm pretty open about who I am. I realize it's not everyone's reason to hide their true identities, but I'm not ashamed of who I am so I don't really see the reason of separating my "personas". How I act here is how I act in real life. Although, typing has the advantage of giving me a bit more time to think of clever jokes that are only good in a certain context

My Persona's name is Arsene oops wrong persona.

I try to be the same way here as I act everywhere else, but I have to limit myself here because Vizzed rules, haha. If you want to see how I really act, Discord would be your best bet. Of course, outside of the Vizzed server.

I don't fake who I am? I am who you see on the site and that applies to me in real life. For me I don't see the sense of having a persona unless theres a reason too. I enjoy being myself on here. I am open to people and most of my friends now. I would admit it was hard. I just wanted to play rgr games and have nothing to do with online people because of my school days.

A few years ago my answer would be more along the lines of faking who I am. I wanted to be seen as a cooler person than I actually am. I thought that Vizzed could be my escape from my real life and how I was treated in real life. It's funny looking back on it, though. I felt that a lot of the friends I made here would have liked me and gotten along with me regardless.

However now a days Vizzed doesn't hold as much merit to me as it did my younger self. I still enjoy the website, the friends I made, etc. But I don't feel like I have to pretend to be someone else. Further, I don't feel like I have to be liked by everybody.
Pretending to be something you aren't can be very taxing and if you start with lies, you can get caught up in them.
It's easy to just maintain a level head and keep true to yourself. In all honesty, just be yourself. It's the best thing you can do.

All in all, separating from yourself and creating a "persona" of sorts seldom works out well in my opinion. You prevent yourself from being you and sometimes even have to try hard to not do what you normally would which is kind of unfortunate.

Oh boy this is a fun question. 

My persona on here is a mess. To the point that many different users have different opinions on what I'm like..  The fact I haven't been active recently is also a decent point to add. I've likely changed as a person from 2 years ago after all. 

I think the easiest thing for me to point out is that whilst I am still rather blunt and sarcastic in real life, People also see the caring side of me a lot more. 
Besides that a lot of my IRL traits don't sit on paper that well. It makes me come across as a egocentric idiot at times. 

I never really tried to create a persona either.. Which is ironic as I did pretty much have a "fursona" at one point. Which I look back on in hilarity. 

So basically what I'm saying is, I don't think I'm that different in real life I just come across better sometimes... but then again I don't truly know because I don't know how people view me in the first place due to my absence

SCIENCE YO

I'd say I'm diffidently more how should I say this "geeky" online on vizzed, or a better description  would be I'm more open about my love of classic games and anime on vizzed than what I am in real life but other than that I feel as though I'm the same person personality wise it's just I show more of my retro game loving/anime side of my personality on vizzed   

I'm a lot more shy in real life. I have a hard time talking to people. It's only after some years that I've loosened up enough to post on Vizzed. The anonymity of being just some random user online makes me feel like I can be myself more. My boyfriend knows who I am and accepts me, but honestly I'm a bit of a loner. Which is weird cause I actually am friendly, I just don't talk much, and I tend to mind my own business.

There are bits of me that just don't come out when not in a personal setting. And I'm far more awkward in real life.

Also, I can't be as vulgar on here, considering that I use cuss words far too much. So that's a difference.
I guess I'm not a great person, but hey, some people like me.
