IRL you vs Internet you!

Here's another question for you all: What are you like IRL? How does it compare to how we see you on the internet? Which person do you like better? Which one is the real you?

I'll start....

[TL;DR]: I suppose major difference for me is that I am shy and standoffish in real life. And friendly and bubbly on the internet. Dread IRL interaction, love e-interaction.

So in real life, I am extremely quiet, and struggle to find words to say. Mostly I just smile, laugh, nod, and say stuff like "yeah" and "mmhm" to let you know I'm listening. I also apologize constantly, even to the point of saying sorry for saying sorry. Don't swear, don't drink, dont smoke, dont say dirty words, ever. Also have no poker face. I'm also an pacifist and nonconfrontational so I'm a bit of a punching bag. Couldn't hurt a fly. And when my friends try to dare me "hit" them, I always miss at the last second because I just can't do it. They affectionately refer to these as "airplane punches".

I have a very difficult time remembering names and faces. And only have like one IRL friend, although I tend to get along with all my coworkers. To be honest, I tend to avoid people who are overly friendly with me and avoid "hanging out" and dread social events like parties and Secret Santa. I would rather be left alone and read it make art. But when I am forced to interact with people, I try to be positive and kind and supportive. I blush and get embarrassed easily so people like to poke fun and make dirty jokes sltobsee how red I get. My schoolmates and coworkers usually call me the "innocent one" "nice one," and "reliable one".

When I'm the internet, I can be very bubbly and excitable and friendly. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I'm a bit of an open book. Love to just chat with and get to know and be friends with everybody.=] But I get lonely so easily.

I really wish I could be more friendly in person, but I probably have a mild case of anthropophobia. And misanthropy sometimes.

So what about you guys?

Requesting Advice

If you're looking for a free Microsoft Word equivalent, Open Office is pretty good. I also have Grammarly installed for when I'd rather just write my post on the forum. It's not much, but it helps.

The sounds were coming from the Study, Aileen determined. She crept quietly toward the closed door, holding her breath, her heart pounding harder as she approached. Her arms were aching, but she kept her shield up to make sure nobody would catch her unguarded from behind.

Aileen squinted through the crack in the door. There appeared to be three feminine figures in the room; two were rummaging, making a bit of noise as they did so, and the third was facing the others... and was holding a shovel? Nobody was talking now, so she couldn't tell who was in there. Would it be better to wait and keep watching, or to run in and try to take them all out at once while distracted? In the end, Aileen decided to wait a little longer to make sure there wouldn't be any friendly fire.

But then--commotion! Aileen was spotted! Unfamiliar voices were shouting inside. A piece of furniture was pushed over and glass shattered. Aileen took one step back and--FUMP! A human shoulder hit the blunt part of her shield, shattering it, and the young woman crumpled to the floor while shouting in pain.

"M-Miss Matthews?! A'm so sorry!" Aileen hastily apologized as she helped Arabelle to her feet, strangely fumbleling because the hall was...shaking? Thundering footsteps and nerve-wracking barks confirmed her suspicion--hellhounds. As if stirred into action by fear, Arabelle shot off across the hall on her own. "W-wait for me! Let me 'elp you!" Aileen called out, chasing after her.

The Dream Sharing and Discussion

Like in the title, this is the place to share and talk about dreams (the kind you have while sleeping). Please be respectful and keep it pg-13. :)

So to start us off...

The last dream I remember having was that I was just driving along the road when my Ford f-150 truck broke down and the brakes stopped working and I wound up slamming into about 6 people in the winter time. I have been having car trouble lately, so I hope it isn't foreshadowing anything. D=

How about you guys? Do you dream often? Are they vague and blurry and easy to forget, or are they vivid? Do you have lucid dreams? Night terrors? Sleep paralysis? Do your dreams feel real or are they wacky? I want to hear all about it!
