@drewnogal saidAnother related question is this:
… to being yourself here?
Just wondered?
Can an online setting turn an introvert into an extrovert, albeit temporarily?
Another question:
Assuming we accept that online interaction is part of reality in this day and age ~ if introverts are extroverts for some significant portion of their time, can they be accurately described as "introverts" anymore?
@fmf saidIt’s a good question. Yes to the first bit and maybe to the second bit.

@fmf saidInteresting question, I had to think a while. Being one although being much worse when I was younger, I’m going with no and yes, you?

@mike69 saidQ.1: In a sense, I suppose. There can be things said that might be characteristic of, or mimic, extroversion.
you?
Q.2: No. I'd save the term "extrovert" for people in face-to-face or public settings and not use it for uncharacteristic behaviour in a somewhat artificial, disinhibited environment.
@fmf saidI think you’re confusing speech in general as a mimic, we do know how to talk or type something.… There are many aspects that go into and letting go of that makes things like even typing here easier. It will never be the same or any where near what a true extrovert would be or feel internally while doing these things so no relation.

@drewnogal saidIt appears that this is what typically occurs here, where we express our views on how we perceive others and their opinions.
If only we could see ourselves through another’s eyes. I wonder what we would think?
The threads are created as a pretext to facilitate exchanges about how we perceive others. Clearly, there is little consensus on how we view ourselves in the eyes of others. It's quite an amusing game, to put it mildly. Some people are so concerned with how others perceive them that they are hardly themselves.

What a ludicrous objective this would be.

I hope this is the explanation for the why you come across the way you do.
One poster here often says "You know nothing about me". This, despite posting maybe 200,000 times. And the same poster does NOT claim to "know nothing about" other posters. I think, in a public space like this, and for the purposes of interacting with those people we don't know away from here, we are what we post, plain and simple.
@fmf saidPlain and simple would describe you fmf! You see we can agree on something! 🙂
