I hide how much of an asshole I am in real life because it would only hinder me, whereas online in a lot of places I don't. That's about it. Could I be better? Sure. Have I tried? To some extent. Has it worked?

Eeeeh...

Other than that I don't say much in real life, unless I'm around people I actually like, if I don't need to, preferring to be left to do what I need to do without interruption.

As for which I prefer, well, since there isn't too much of a distinction other than me repressing part of my nature I figure that question is kind of moot.
