INTP/INFJ derailment discussion

Also, I don't know what this is all about, but Cleveland is quite a sensitive fella...

Hos: *writes perfectly sensible post*
Cleve: well you're WRONG because 6 months ago you said this thing that proved I was intellectually der bestest muhahaha

*5 seconds later, in a different post* PS. I'm not sensitive

Only joshing you, Cleveland :-*

I noticed, which is why I added a video of Muppets playing angry heavy metal (Slayer) to my post. ;)

I find it funny how, from my viewpoint anyway, this forum allows for more focused depth than in many real life conversations but also way more drama.

In real life I rarely ever witness these kinds of antics, meltdowns etc. It's really quite curious in a way. I suppose the internet does that to people.

The internet does change how people behave. As a whole, the forum is more open and emotional that other places and people use it differently than they are allowed to use relationships IRL. The funny part, though, is that online is real life.

It is real life but not in the same sense as what we call IRL is real life, I suppose. Perhaps embodied vs. dematerialised would be more accurate. But that sounds pretentious lol.

Agreed.

The more we live online and have a presence online, and the more that presence is mixed with our off-line identities, the more we will face consequences for our online actions. We feel the emotional repercussions of our online actions (both positive and negative), even if we never have to have that experience face-to-face. As we continue into the 21st century and the Internet becomes more and more integrated into "self" (it is already a major part of our lives), we have no choice but to stop thinking about the Internet as "other" (as fantasy, as fake, as a place where we can behave any way we want) and behave online as we would in person. It is plausible that as the decades roll forward, the line in the sand will disappear. For now, we have the comfort of being somewhat (not entirely) anonymous if we want, but our emotions and "instinctual" physical responses to stimuli do not know the difference.

How do you see that playing out in practice?

I'm a little more reserved about this possibility but it is definitely a possibility.

Hmm, yeah, I think it might happen.

I already noticed it in myself. I used to be lot "braver" online (especially with girls) but I soon realised that it doesn't do me any good because the disparity between face to face and online was too great.

Still, I think I am far more likely to enter a confrontation online than face to face, I come across a bit more gentle face to face for sure,

Meee tooooo. It has to be severe for me to get into confrontation face to face unless I am really comfy with them.
