Do you type the way you talk in IRL?

[sbbds]

Or no

[ashlesha]

I think I use a larger vocabulary and less filler words like "uh" when typing. I also don't do much monologuing irl, I mean I rarely speak in large paragraphs. But I was told once that I do based on a video, maybe it had something to do with the rhythm of the words.

[idontgiveaf]

Yes. That's why I don't edit my posts. Because it ruins how i talk. I wanna portray on text how i actually talk irl

[SaveYourself]

yeah right down to typing 'like' an inordinate amount, using capital letters to indicate where I'd emphasise and emojis to give a feel for the tone I'd be using / facial expressions I'd be pulling

Actually there are a couple of people on here who I've watched videos of them talking and now that I can read their text in their own voice and rhythm, I can follow what they are saying much easier. Some people have a really clear writing style so it doesn't matter but for the more idiosyncratic posters it helps to 'hear' their writing

I think I type pretty much exactly like I talk.

[sbbds]

I’m definitely generally shittier and more curt online since you’re all invisible to me. I add lots of fillers in IRL as well, and I’m very awkward. Supposedly I’m well-spoken and come across as intelligent, but I add lots and lots of fillers, hesitate a lot, mumble incoherently sometimes, and use a lot of slang too.

[Capitalist Pig]

i dunno, probably

[FDG]

chatting - yea
posts - not really

[Hope]

I actually barely talk.

[Xaiviay]

Irl I talk less and am less organized. I go back and rewrite things until they sound more clear and to the point, on here. I'm probably a little less bubbly than I come across on here, especially with people I don't know very well. I'm shy - which is obvious to some of my friends, and to others it's not...dunno why. It's nice to talk on here because I feel a bit less inhibited behind a screen. So yeah, that's the gist of it

[Grendel]

Usually, I try to have a buffer for the rest of a sentence filled before I start speaking IRL, as I parse my thoughts similarly to written text on a forum.

[Cosmic Teapot]

No, because irl I can't say a full sentence without somebody interrupting me.

[Raver]

I am generally more socially introverted IRL unless I am around a person or group of people I feel comfortable with.

[Starvish]

Yes. That's why I don't edit my posts. Because it ruins how i talk. I wanna portray on text how i actually talk irl

This. I pretty much just type while talking the exact voice in my head.

[ouronis]

What aki said, but when I have to talk a lot I just talk how the other person will react the best to what I'm saying. So probably sometimes, but I don't think my posts are very consistent in that regard either.

My thoughts get more refined through text.

I want to convey picture memes, youtube videos, and hyperlink citations in real life.

Hmm...
