Would your Fluther personality be recognizable in a face to face conversation?

Asked by lucillelucillelucille (34325points) October 29th, 2019

Would we know who you are based on the words you type here or would you be more inhibited?

I think the Jellies who have met me in person would be the best ones to answer about me. I don’t imagine any of them were very surprised by my personality.

I have met @janbb in person. (In penguinitude?) And she’s even cuter than here.

As for me? I don’t know. I am always aware that I only have words on a screen with which to communicate, no body language, very limited inflection, etc. IRL I am way more effusive with gestures and tone.

@canidmajor -I have always wondered if people would speak to each other,choosing the same words that they type here.

I’ve met the two above ^^ in person and they are who I imagined they would be. I had even imagined their accents based on where they are from and they didn’t disappoint.
I met Auggie in person and she was even kinder and funnier than I expected. Maybe being the manager here made her be less of the jokester she really was.

@chyna – Always interesting to meet jellies.

elbanditoroso's avatar

Easily. I am the same in person.

And with maybe two exceptions, I have no interest in meeting any of you in person.

janbb's avatar

Shouldn’t this be in Meta?

elbanditoroso's avatar

Only if you meta previously.

tinyfaery's avatar

Yes. The only Jellie I have ever met is no longer a member.

janbb's avatar

@tinyfaery And I know who it is.

ucme's avatar

Yep, what you see is the only me I know how to be.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme-I had that feeling about you. :)

flutherother's avatar

I’ve only met one (janbb) and there were no surprises at all with her personality apart from her sense of humour, which was a bit more pronounced in real life.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@flutherother-I’ve met two. One was more reserved, the other, not so much.

ucme's avatar

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <hiccup>

Love_my_doggie's avatar

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting @janbb. She’s courteous, intelligent, and articulate online, and she’s even more so IRL.

chyna's avatar

Come on guys! Tell us who you’ve met!
And I think @janbb has met more than any of us.

janbb's avatar

I’ve met Ben, Andrew, Auggie, chyna, canidmajor, marinelife, zenvelo, raum, flutherother, Love_my_doggie, Jeruba, skfinkel….I think that might be it.

And longgone! How could I forget my adopted niece!

I get around :-)

^ No-one else, huh?

[Sigh.] Whatever.

Edited just in time. Too bad you can’t edit my wounded soul.

janbb's avatar

^^ I was coming back to add you even before I saw your plaintive sigh! We had a wonderful time!

chyna's avatar

I’ve talked to 4 others on the phone.

KNOWITALL's avatar

I’ve only met Dutchess and she was exactly as represented here, which is what I’d expect from a Midwesterner. She was a bit smaller in stature than I expected with her big personality. :)

ucme's avatar

There are a select few who I would be happy to meet…you know who you are you little tinkers ;-}

ragingloli's avatar

Not at all.

janbb's avatar

@ragingloli Bet you’re a real sweetheart in real life!

ragingloli's avatar

I am super boring, until I know that you would let me bury a dead child in your back yard.

ucme's avatar

Actually, thinking about it, there’s one jelly i’d love to meet which they wouldn’t expect me to, be shocked probably.
I will never tell :D

KNOWITALL's avatar

@ragingloli I know we don’t agree on much, but I actually do like your macabre sense of humor.

flutherother's avatar

@KNOWITALL But best appreciated at a safe distance of a few thousand miles or so.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@flutherother haha, I like to live dangerously.

Plus the humor makes me think we’d have some laughs. Most people bore me, I like the zany mavericks.

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

I hope my personality in real life would not differ from what I present here on Fluther.

I have met 2 current jellies and 1 former jelly, and I am Facebook friends with many more. I may be meeting a third in the very near future. I will be meeting one early next year when he’s in the islands.

Mimishu1995's avatar

I’ll let a jelly here decide…

Brian1946's avatar

I met with a jelly last February.

Our perfect conversation was totally innocent and perfect, and we’re both stabel geniuses. ;-p

cookieman's avatar

I don’t know about my personality, but I’d likely be holding a bag of cookies, so…

Patty_Melt's avatar

Few if any jellies would be interested in meeting me.
I’m a penny pinching, unpretentious, tea total-er. I have little patience for crybabies, and I curb my language for only children and a choice few adults. I’ve paid a great deal in blood and sweat over the years, so the only one I really care to make happy now is me.
I’ve met and like one jelly. There’s a couple of others I would like to meet, but it is unlikely I will have the chance.

My books are far more friendly and fun than me. I think a few of you would like some of them.

MrGrimm888's avatar

I’d think that most jellies, could tell it was me, if I changed names….

RabidWolf's avatar

Only the truly observant would know me FTF.

Mama_Cakes's avatar

Going back and reading through old threads. I met two jellies. One was as funny as she was on here (it was the OP). The other, a softer, funny and sensitive tiny faery. :)
