How open are you?

After another post I just wondered..

Are you more open about you/your life etc online or in real life?

Are you more likely to state your opinion online or real life?

Do you have anything you are less open about? And if so, why is that?

I'm more open in real life definitely. I think because online people misinterpret what you are trying to say or I just have trouble wording it.

I'm also more likely to state my opinion in real life. I like to do things face to face. I will state my opinion on here but things get misinterpreted so if it's too heavy I don't bother. Sometimes I misinterpret a post and then when I read further I see that someone else has interpreted it correctly and think ahhhh; and the penny drops.

I have things that I'm less open about. I'll tell people things quite honestly face to face if they ask the question but I don't go out of my way to share my experiences really because I hate the way people start feeling sorry for me. And there are some other things that I only discuss with close friends and family because it's just the kind of stuff that you really don't want others to know and then start making the wrong assumptions.

I'm open equally in real life and online just about different things.

I try not to state my opinion online as people get worked up way more and its just not worth it. In real life I do most of the time.

I'm probably a little too open online with my details. The only thing I'm not so open with is relationship details, I generally keep any disagreements between me and ben, between me and Ben.

Too open.

My blog tells all about my life.

I think for me it depends on the subject. I can speak more of my mind online, but have a hard time in real life expressing my opinions.

There are definitely things I am not open about online as I know some people on here in real life so at times, there's just some things that you want to keep for yourself

I guess it depends on the topic/ circumstance, but I think I am much more open in real life. I often worry that you cant use "tone" online very well, so its hard to read what people are saying the right way. IRL you can use your voice, body language, smile etc....which makes it a lot easier to voice opinions or be open about things.

 

I am pretty open on line and irl.

I'm less open on-line about some TMI-type topics, because, well, I know the net to be a great place for people to have a perve at whatever takes their fancy.  Also I wouldn't want men reading some of the stuff I could talk about with a girlfriend.  IRL I'm not shy about anything much being TMI.  When it comes to stuff I think 'oh puh-lease' about, I think I'm a little more open IRL, because when you're talking with someone face-to-face they can see your intentions behind it better.  I find if I say something difficult via writing alone it sometimes looks harsher than how I really mean it, so I try *try* to restrain myself sometimes! 

I think it would depend on the topic and if I was comfortable with it or not, am pretty much an open person and normally freely talk to people either online or IRL about most things, obviously there are some things I might only talk to my sis or best mate to about. Am more or less an open book, if you ask me a question 99 % of time you'll get an answer.

I'm quite open but find it easy to get across what i want to say when I write or type it (my brain and mouth don't work well together...I think to fast and of lots of things but am unable to articulate it properly so I'm saying probably more open online).
