And how similar to your online handle is your real self? I appreciate the nihilistic sense of humour but sometimes I'll say something IRL or react a certain way because it's 'the GBS way' and it gets me into trouble.

GBS has given me a really low tolerance for new hot memes and jokes to the point someone will be telling me about or showing me this hilarious new thing they found on the internet and I have to fight back the urge to be like "Whatever, that poo poo's a week old, gas!" and instead laugh like I'm not really a cynical shithead that hates fun.

The main difference between me irl and me in gbs is in real life I'm actually nice and don't talk about dicks 24/7.

I treat SA like Candyman, I never talk about it just to be on the safe side.

hello :)
I'd say I'm not a whole lot like anything I act like in GBS except for posts describing something that I did in real life. I'm probably more like how I post in subforums IRL.

It's just nice to (sometimes) say whatever I want even if I don't believe it for no reason at all except to elicit some sort of response. It's like prodding a cat. While its lovingly, there's very little reason to do it except to receive a reaction.

Nobody except one person knows who I am in real life in relation to SA, and that's only because she's on SA too.

See, I'd probably never say that in real life without some reason. But in GBS, I can and I will.

My fiancee has a SA account and is probably the only person irl I could even talk about SA stuff with because a lot of our humor here translates poorly. Like, the other day she asked what I was laughing about and I said "These goons are taking pictures of themselves lifting chairs over their heads, this guy just lifted a chair while standing on a chair." and she was like "omg let me see" when I think most people would have just gotten a confused furrow in their brow.

Years ago I asked someone if they had stairs in their house, and they answered all "I'm protected", and then i found out they posted in the subforums i never even read, and then i found their obituary when i looked them up a couple months afterwards

im permabanned poster niggerstomper58. i first started reading fyad when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "irony" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "friend of the family balls" and "i love making GBS threads inside friend of the family assholes" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "ironic" style of fyad humor was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" fyad to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.
