If you mean social as in the way you can express yourself a lot more (mostly be cause my friends have the IQ of a toddler), then yes. A face-to-face conversation is much better though. :P

I can express myself more over the internet because there's no real consequences. If you offend someone it's not like they're going to go across the country to kick your ass >>

So there's really nothing to worry about, PLUS you don't have to make eye contact, which I hate <<

It's a tie between the two. I express my feelings more online since there are less consequences, but a lot of those feelings only come up because I am social in real life.

I'm exactly the same online and offline. :P

Although, I'm probably a bit shy offline, but I'm the same when people get to know me a bit.

I'm pretty much the same. I treat my friends and submit my opinions equally online and offline, and in most cases I also get treat the same way. :)

why would you hate eye contact? i find it very normal and I prefer when someone looks me in the eye.

i'm more sociable in real life. mostly because you have a better understanding of how the other person feels by what they do and how they react. i think you can definitely bond faster with somebody in real life.

The internet is much easier to be outgoing, for me anyway. I'm too shy in real life. XD

Because .. they're looking at me? I just don't like it >_> Little black dots swirling around their eye and then resting on you. Constantly, for like 5-10 minutes of talking.

Real life. All you have on the internet to express yourself are smilies emoticons, capital letters and exclamation marks. They just aren't the same as a real face...
