Unfortunately, many people act different because of the anonymous nature of chat.  A person can say anything about who and what they are without fear of discovery.  That freedom leads some people to act as they would like to be rather than as they truly are.  There are also those that use chat to entice other people ... there have been a couple of cases recently, where men have acted like teenagers in order to set up a meeting.  So, yes, people do project themselves differently in chat.

Perhaps try a different communication technique?

At this point, those that e-mail you from on here and don't confirm their e-mail so you can't respond (I'm sure they do it on purpose so they can get the last word in),  Then the ones that e-mail you about something you answered but don't say which one. Umm... I have answered over 5000 questions you need to be a TAD more specific if you want and answer! GRR...

I don't like that statement! I feel there are plenty of "good" people, and good people to chat with. You just seem to run into the cocky ones. But it's true, everyone does act alittle more cocky and annoying on the internet, than in real person, just because their identity is hidden!

*lol* I hear that, some of those questions I have seen really make you wonder who it is asking the question.\n Of course for all we know... you could be an alien yourself and trying to throw us all off your track......... HUMMMMMMMM

There are two types of people in the world. The first is a kindred spirit who loves for others what they love for themselves, and can see a soul through our differences. The other is spiteful, envious and wishes the good of others for themselves and the bad of themselves for the others, and are unsure of themselves and uncomfortable with anything different. Message boards and chat rooms that deal with specific differences (religion, politics, race/nationality) tend to make the two more obvious and clear from one another.\n\nSometimes I wish there were a way to see what a person thinks (such as in the privacy of identity on this board) when you first come upon them, so that you know right away which type of person they truly are and can decide whether to make acquaintance with them, but still some make it so obvious from the first moment.

not every ones personality clicks. however, we don't have to please everybody because we cant! however, it is good to be sosociable with all people! a simple hello, a smile. or a thank you if we are in a store . so if people act differently its them not you or i.  we all should try to get along as far as we can. if we cant then move on. history, culture, whatever the case may be we all should have a conscience!! we all know right from wrong and good and bad. god made us that way!!! so if people act differently its not you or i its them! i hope you see my  point on this matter. and yes every culture has their own beliefs .  and their own ways.that does not mean they have to be rude or unsocialable  people talk different languages. so we all don't talk different languages however its good to take a foreign language. it can be very use full. i took french, and Spanish. that way i can talk to other people and make friends. like i said some are sociable some are not. i just move on. shake the dust off my feet. its their loss. maybe our gain. thank you Kat

some people just want to hear what other people think, they know what the answers is but want to know if there are anyone to back them up on them

I've had this happen to me multiple times.  I've written back and said, "Dear so-and-so, I really appreciate hearing from you, and any time you have news of you and your family, or questions of me, I'm happy to take them.  However, please don't include me on your 'forwards' list, because 99 times out of 100, I've already seen what you're sending me multiple times."

i have no idea i wanted to ask that but maybe we can suggest like a small message system within answers so people can message other answers users?

We must definately reply such a person but the way of replying should not necessarily be the same. Language or way of replying should be such that you make your point, get long term results and dont attract anymore nuisance.  It is complicated but not impossible. We must be alert to such people (of course dont take them too seriously). If we watch them, we come to know their next move and prepare ourselves in advance.

look at how the people closest to you now respond to you. They'll let you know if your changing or not.

It may actually be healthy to talk to yourself as you do. What you need to be concerned about is believing that it is someone else who is answering back. You are actually the best person to determine where you are and what your state of mind is. However, I would highly recommend that you talk with others as well in order to maintain a good perspective on everything.

You will never know unless you direct the question to the right person/s... and that's not us.  Have you asked them? What did they say?
258142
Yes they do but I think its because I made the person up and I'm always talking to myself all the time.People think I'm weird but I say they are for talking to a real person.Weird people and there people and people are all crazy........whats that you say.....I'M CRAZY?....you have to be kidding me....your crazy........crazy

It has happened to me too. However, I count those email nastygrams as a victory.  Look at it this way, you spoke about  whatever opinion so well that you messed with someone else's comfort level.  You have provoked them to think.
