Would your Fluther personality be recognizable in a face to face conversation?
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.
Easily. I am the same in person.
And with maybe two exceptions, I have no interest in meeting any of you in person.
Shouldn’t this be in Meta?
Only if you meta previously.
Yes. The only Jellie I have ever met is no longer a member.
Yep, what you see is the only me I know how to be.
@ucme-I had that feeling about you. :)
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.
@flutherother-I’ve met two. One was more reserved, the other, not so much.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <hiccup>
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting @janbb. She’s courteous, intelligent, and articulate online, and she’s even more so IRL.
Come on guys! Tell us who you’ve met!
And I think @janbb has met more than any of us.
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.
^^ I was coming back to add you even before I saw your plaintive sigh! We had a wonderful time!
I’ve talked to 4 others on the phone.
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. :)
There are a select few who I would be happy to meet…you know who you are you little tinkers ;-}
I am super boring, until I know that you would let me bury a dead child in your back yard.
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
@ragingloli I know we don’t agree on much, but I actually do like your macabre sense of humor.
@KNOWITALL But best appreciated at a safe distance of a few thousand miles or so.
@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.
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.
I’ll let a jelly here decide…
I met with a jelly last February.
Our perfect conversation was totally innocent and perfect, and we’re both stabel geniuses. ;-p
I don’t know about my personality, but I’d likely be holding a bag of cookies, so…
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.
I’d think that most jellies, could tell it was me, if I changed names….
Only the truly observant would know me FTF.
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. :)
