Do you ever forget that you are talking to real people?

I do a lot. There are things I have said in this game that I would never say to someone in real life. It's so easy to forget that these cartoons have real life people behind them whom know nothing about you. They take what you say and form an opinion.

Sometimes I get sooo frustrated when people in the game take things I say and make their own definition of what I say....basically taking my words and making them something they are not.

There may be certain conversations that in real life it's ok, but not for an online community.

Sometimes I feel when I say to someone in game that I am a good person and trustworthy with anything(which I am) they should just accept it and not worry about what the context of something I say may have meant. Sometimes I feel, even if I didn't say that, they should just "know it".

I know that's wrong but that's how I have felt a lot in the past.

My real friends(in real life) describe me as sweet, kind, caring, unique, funny, and fun to be around. If I say something to them, they understand what I mean and what the context of it is because they know me.

Though I know that people forget that these people are also behind a computer and all they see is a cartoon talking, they cannot know exactly what kind of person you are, so you have to be careful what you say to others. If you say something, others may take it as something completely different from what it is, especially since words typed out don't show the tone of what the person is saying.



I think the best thing from now on, I'm going to be the 100% real me. I am going to take a conversation as if its face to face(where I watch what I say).
