Something I've been wondering a lot recently. Some of you spew hate and vitriol at all hours. Some of you are kind and heartwarming. Some are insecure and hesitant, others overconfident and arrogant. My question to you, anon reading this, how much of yourself really comes through in the things you post on this board, or online in general? Do you feel like you are being your authentic self? Be honest!
>>80036259>Do you feel like you are being your authentic self?Of course not
>>80036259I try to be pretty honest online, IRL I'm probably more reserved. I'm not going to publicly state politically incorrect opinions that will piss people off. Around my friends and family I'm more direct, though.
>>80036259most, even when i lose my temper i am pretty bad lol, thats still the true me, i cant really fake myself, thats to much for me
>>80036272idk about other anons but I love you BBC baiting anon, you add life to this board like this specific reply is peak comedy
>>8003625995% I'd say. IRL I just don't make jokes quite as edgy or talk about topics that would make people uncomfortable. But I talk and behave the same way.
>>80036292you should actually commit suicide just like bbc foid, no one will ever love either of you
i'm very nice irl and genuinely care about others. i just like calling people niggers on the internet because i feel like that is what the internet is for and it is cringe to take it with the same weight as irl interactions
>>80036301>no one will ever love either of youuh read the room anon, this is the robot board. That's a requirement to post here in the first place
>>80036303why do you have to ruin a good thread, i actually hate it, when i find you, im literally going to torture you to death
>>80036279Do you think that you are putting on a different facade online intentionally, or is it an alternate persona of sorts?>>80036324comes with the territory i guess. i have come to accept it.
>>80036315i am going to break every single one of your bones one at a time, smash them all, with a small hammer, one at a time, but feed you coke so you stay away while its happening
>>80036259Mostly. Its hard to pin down exactly what is *me* exactly in all honesty. I suspect I have some sort of personality disorder because I swing between very different moods that affect my judgement, mannerisms, and overall personality. Some days I'll be in an almost manic state of mind where I feel like I can do anything and others I'll be in a lethargic depressed mood where I just want to be coddled and fawned over by my mom and sisters. The strange part is being lucid and being able to calmly observe myself from an eagle eyed view. I generally act distant but try to be kind and polite irl and that's mostly how I treat my frens online. On 4shits I'm more of a troll.
>>80036334after breaking all of your bones, ill skin you alive, slowly, and torch were ever you start to bleed, so you dont bleed out early
>>80036335>putting on a different facade online intentionallyyeah of course
>>80036334ill find all the nerves in your hands and feet, and rip them out, and crush them inch by inch. all the way up your arms and legs
>>80036342I get what you mean, I have a similar kind of predicament. It makes it difficult to navigate social interactions because it always feels like I'm watching a TV show of my life and a little unserious tbqh. I feel like I should take life more seriously, I just don't know how.
>>80036392When socializing I feel like I'm constantly acting. I don't really have a concrete sense of self. I'm doing what I think I should be doing instead of being an authentic version of myself, mostly because I don't know what my authentic self is. I can only act in a rational sense rather than an intuitive one if that makes any sense.
Nigger my online self is way closer to the real me than the self i put up with other people irl
Online I'm a hateful empathetic depressed selfish caring racist antiracist suicidal life loving prickOffline I'm just a regular faggotOnline IS offline really. I'm just me here laying in my bed typing it's not another world or a different being its me typing this nonsense.
>>80036259>Some of you spew hate and vitriol at all hours. Some of you are kind and heartwarming. Some are insecure and hesitant, others overconfident and arrogant.i do all of this. idk desu most of the time im just trolling and baiting retards but sometimes im authentic. im not as much of an dick irl as i am on here, but i feel like r9k has definitely changed me for the worse. i dont think its healthy to resent women, even if they deserve it. i should probably let that go. generally i treat other people how they treat me and i generally do that when i post on here too.honestly i just do a whole lot of larping online
>>80036259I just like ridiculing people a lot. I'm more reserved and tend to not speak unless spoken to as a habit but I don't really take anything as seriously as other people either. Irl you'd think the opposite: I'm a pretty intimidating presence by reputation and I love my line of work but I call people faggots on the anime website in my spare time. It's so pathetic and that's part of the fun.
>>80036259You type like an insecure overconfident arrogant faggot. I assume you're the same kind of bitchmade turdwhore irl.IRL I talk like my 4chan self with men, and deceive women with a gentler leftist face to get sex.
>>80037397intimidating presence HAHAHAHAH your dad molested you
>>80036259I'm a bit more uncensored, posting darker jokes and opinions that sometimes may deviate from normies. I don't try to be rude or anything and may even try to conform to the narrative at times for better dialogue. But in the end it typically doesn't matter, most comments goes unnoticed and my accounts either get suppressed or banned for shitposting too much or saying something i didn't know was allowed. Social media ToS is still vague like that.
>>80036642I get it. I'd agree with r9k definitely making me worse too. I used to be a lot more active on 4chan and constantly taking in the shit here reflected on my behavior outside of the site too. I've tried to be a lot more mindful of it but sometimes I can't help it. I do wonder though how many are really like you in the sense that its all just kinda for fun vs. the demographic here that actually violently hates women, are mentally ill, etc. How many REAL incels are there here?>>80037397Fair enough. I'd say it's pretty fun to just get on here and mess with people at times but it gets old fast. You can only have so much fun punching down imo. >>80037753You type like you're underage. Deceiving women with leftism is real though. They seem aware that men do it but they still eat it up anyway. Weird.>>80037858Social media in general is like that. I pretty much exclusively use it for my normie interactions. I don't think anything makes it easier to meet people than my Instagram, they just have a kind of herd mentality with it.
>>80037763>by reputationI'm 5'7" and never show up to work lmao I think I'm physically no better than a tranny but I'm confidently one of the best in the world at the very niche thing I do and for that reason nobody questions my work.
I haven't decided if having both consoles is better or just one. Either way I feel like a bot.
>>80038050what is this niche thing? or would you be doxxing yourself by revealing it. >>80038078Probably better to just get a pc lol. I think having one console should be fine though, what would you do with two that you can't do with one? (Other than platform-exclusives)
>>80036259I am a more extreme version of my irl self online. but also I don't stick to one personality, it's why 4chan is so great, I can change with every post, I don't have to use the tone I'm using in this one in the next one. Come to think of it probably fucks you up, spewing nonsense without the usual consequences, like if it becomes what you do on impulse online and you feel like that's a truer reflection of you because you spend most of your time here, then maybe you start to feel like you're resisting it irl and like you can't be yourself
>>800362594chan is the one place I can truly speak my mind. If I try to talk to people IRL, I am often misunderstood and misrepresented, because everybody just wants to hear what they want to hear. The ephemeral and anonymous nature of posting on 4chan is unique, because it gives me a break from all the hugbox niceties I'm forced to entertain on a daily basis. Inversely, when I post something, anons are also given a chance to respond honestly. Isn't it charming how anonymity allows us to become much more intimately connected to one another?
>>80036259it's coming from me so it is obviously coming from my authentic self. authentic does not mean consistent. i want to kill myself sometimes. am i being inauthentic when i love life? no. my mood changes, flips, and morphs. sometimes i feel like a god so i act however i want. other times i feel tortured so i hide from everything and everyone. both are authentic. authenticity as we know it is boring. authenticity nowadays is more like your ability to continue playing the character that you've created and built up over the years. listen instead to the things they are saying, because they are channeling the thoughts, views, and beliefs of people who CONSISTENTLY SUFFER, even if for that person it was momentary. that is real empathy and it is how we solve everything.
I enjoy 4chan. Compared to other sites you can be more real here. People are mostly sincere and honest, and far kinder than you'll find anywhere else online or irl. Irl I am running scripts, algorithms, and flowcharts all day and night. Everything is manual. You have to assume everyone you meet is of average intelligence. It is exhausting stooping down so very very low to interact with the normalfags. Dumb it down, can't express any opinions, mustn't discuss anything interesting, can't disclose any personal history. But at the same time you have to fake interest in conversations such as winter being cold, rain being wet, summer being hot. It can be hard enough to keep people straight with face blindness. It becomes very difficult with people who have similar mannerisms and speech content.
>>80036259i am much more authentic on here than anywhere else which is to say i am extremely cringe
>>80036259I am 5000% more likely to get into an argument and insult someone online than IRL, mainly because I know that if I even said half the shit I do online the retards I get into fights with would try to punch me in the face.
>>80036259Sometimes I'm honest, but a lot of the time I'm incredibly more callous and hostile due to how people on the internet treat me. None of you deserve anything good I can provide
>>80036259This is a trick question, most people here don't know their true self. Most don't even realize that they're not truly in control of their actions, they act on whims and never introspect. Most here confuse their true self with the amalgam of trauma they have experienced. How can one truly know themselves if they cannot even tell the difference between themselves, and the things they experience? How can one truly know themselves if they don't even know what they want, what they're truly capable of, or what they need?Most are trying to appear in such a way that other people like them and pay attention to them, nothing more.I try my best to be as genuine to myself as I can be. I don't really see a point in LARPing as someone else. I say what I think, and I think about what I say, and why I said it.
>>80036259I look a bit like a homeless man with shabby clothes and have kind of a deep, oafish voice. If I am forced to raise my voice, I sound like Hank Hill which I think people find more threatening more than funny. I cannot make eye contact and almost never speak unless prompted and often only in monosyllables. I have a very plain, concise manner of speaking and can't smile or laugh. I struggle to carry a conversation and get shut down completely if there are three or more people in the room. I have an absurd side to my personality that I only show near trusted people. I used to be very disciplined academically but I went insane after I graduated college. My family has gradually become red pilled so I can at least be honest about my political beliefs to a certain extent.
>>80036259absolutelymy power level is maxed out
>>80036259I'm more candid on here than real life. I've taken sabbaticals from here, only to realise that the only place where I can find like minded people or at least people that I can somewhat relate to are here. Sometimes I meme on here, but mostly just be genuine about what I think and feel whilst I don't really do that in real life.
>>80036259I am just as insufferable and hateable irl but for different reasons
I'm so contrarian that I try to be nicer online than IRL.
>>80036259honestly i'm more authentic on 4chan than anywhere else. I am extremely socially anxious irl and this is the only place where i can find people in similar situations as me, and a place where I can post anonymously and not worry about my image. Normalfags care so much about image that it consumes everything, and that is why i am here, because i want to talk without building an image or reputation.
