Hello guys,

I would like to know one thing. Do you think that people we meet online are the same in real? Well, I have experienced the situations when some cool, freaky, funny people I chatted with turned to be totally different when it came to conversation over Skype. Suddenly they were not so self-confident, nor talkative. Have you experienced it too?

  • Hi Luci. I have never experienced that. But, most conversations I had on Skype were a little bit weird. I'd rather talk on skype with a group of people, and about specific topics, not personal things. Sometimes people get nervous because it's like speaking on the phone, but in another language, that you don't master and we end up forgetting words or forgetting possible interesting things to talk about.

    About the other question, I don't think people we meet online behave the same way in real life.

  • I prefer that person even farts instead of being silent like a piece of shit lol

  • Evangelina,

    thank you for your points!!! I believe that by talking to somebody via Skype we can little bit change this virtual friendship to real one because we can see each other, we are not just sitting next to each other. Don't you think so? As for being boring - maybe I didn't express it properly.. my point was that some people are extremely differnt and I have no idea why. One of the reasons might be shyness or lack of self-confidence and believe that their English is good enough.

    P.S. Thanx for disclosing your secret but I hardly believe that :-D

  • HAHA, it looks like I gave you money to make some advertisement here :-D

  • shyness and the poor English I think is the reason of this change , Writing is easier. even we can get some help from google translater :-D

    • Hamzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,

      firstly, where the heck have you beeeeeen?????!!!! I noticed you totally disappeared :-/ secondly, I am glad to see you here again. Thirdly, ehm I can say I agree with you on one thing. If somebody is shy, I bet thanx to the anonymous feeeling on the Internet, such people can be more self-confident online. Thank you for your comment and hope to see you here!

    • Thank you .

  • yes luci, you are right, i have experienced the same thing while taking to some persons through skpe, with whom i had a nice talking on MyEC.  I feel that the same happens because of different cultures, atmosphere sorroundings and the education etc.  Thanx

    • nitnit,

      ohh finally somebody with the same experience!!! Thank you for your comment and I am still thinking what else can cause it. Hamza mentionted good point - SHYNESS. Your points are also interesting because maybe people in different cultures express themself differently.

  • Well, Luci I never experienced such situation but, I'm sure for one thing! :D

    heheh if you ever talked to me in real life or through skype you would find me very shy, less talkative :D hehe

    so it's normal, ppl are talkative on chats and shy on skype :P
