It just occurred to me that my internet dialect in my IRL dialect are slightly different in a few ways. Curious to hear others dialectal differences and thoughts on the subject.

    In real life, I’m not so great at coherent conversational speech. I come across intense and weird and as I can’t information process in real time and I talk quickly and without eye contact, it’s not so great for being heard/listened to, or talking with people. (Guess who has autism?)

    Online I can edit my words. When I have enough space to think about what I want to say and to try to navigate how it will be percieved, my communication style is far more legible- and sometimes even comes across as smart and/or funny.

    (Edited for grammar as I reread it just now and noticed how bad it was.)

      Ohhhh yes. I can’t argue in real life very well. I have to focus and at that point it just takes too much energy. lol
