I think I am bolder on the net. I am a little shy in public. I would never think twice about hugging a new friend on the net but probably wouldn't do that in RL. My sense of humor and personality are the same though.
I'm definitely a lot more outgoing online than in real life. I am so shy and nervous around people I don't know, but once you get to know me, I can be very loud and talkative.
