In real life, I save them.

Actually from a psychological standpoint that is not true how you behave when anonymous says much about your natural disposition! I'd say people who ignore the link should read a bit psychology literature ;) Also calling people that you disagree with idiots also says something about your real life views and psyche.
I said it before in a very similar thread a few months earlier, but the question here leads to actually much deeper academic debate than how it may look in the first glance, if you do indeed decide to take this topic seriously.
I can/do agree that how we act when we anonymous says much about your 'desires', but how much is 'identity' or 'who we are' linked with what we 'desire'.
So if the question is 'does your EVE actions reflect your RL 'desires', then I think the answer is much more straightforward. But if it's about 'what kind of person you are IRL' then I tend to think that's got more to do than with just 'desires' alone, because 'who we are' in RL society obviously does include much suppressed desires, and what desires we decide to 'suppress' is as much linked to social identity as what desires we 'express'.
Expression/suppression of certain desires may say something about 'who we are', but I don't think they are the 'only' constituents of 'who we are' IRL.
anyways, tl;dr, I do believe, whatever you do in game, are your desires, there's no denying that. But what we desire is not the only barometer for who we are IRL, so the question itself does not lead to any complete picture.
Cheers Love! The cavalry's here!

A little different psych/sociology case study, if itGÇÖs of interest to anyoneGǪ.
I try to be a good guy both in RL and in the game. A different kind of RL vs. ingame behavior applies in my case. In RL IGÇÖm an introvert who enjoys privacy. I have good one-on-one friends, but in social situations IGÇÖm uncomfortable and IGÇÖm pure crap at small talk.
But in the game, I tend to end up being a group organizer and leader (corp officer, recruiter, etc.) ItGÇÖs because I have this thing where I canGÇÖt stand to see friends or family not getting along or not having a good time. So I end up GÇ£cheerleadingGÇ¥ and encouraging the group. IGÇÖm kind of a social manipulator, in that I manipulate group members to steer them being more positive within the group and stronger team players. Because of that, I end up being made one of the group officer/admin grunts/cat herders.
So in RL IGÇÖm shy and bad in group social situations, but in Eve IGÇÖm a social butterfly/group leader. Basically, my Eve self is an extrovert alter-ego that I RP. But I donGÇÖt like voice comms much. My RL introversion kicks in in comms, so I mostly just follow the fleet and push the talk key to laugh at jokes. I can only RP being an extrovert via typing text, where I have time to think and compose just what I want to say. MMO-world can make strange situations, don't you think?

@Toobo: A well formulated response, thank you.
"but the question here leads to actually much deeper academic debate than how it may look in the first glance" I agree.
"I can/do agree that how we act when we anonymous says much about your 'desires', but how much is 'identity' or 'who we are' linked with what we 'desire'." I agree, however I would also add that we use anonymity on the internet to vent our deepest and inner most frustrations.
"straitforward" Compleetly agree. It's never straigt forward. I always remember a budhist monk I met in Russia. He was sitting on a bench in a park and asked if we had a pen for him. So we gave the wierd old man with a book with empty pages the pen. After which he said just a minute and he started to tally the mminutes in his little book. After watching him for 15 minutes I told him really don't need the pen back have a nice day. He responded by saying it was just another minute and he would appreciate if we'd wait. Another 15 minutes later he gave the pen back closed his book, gave us a chocolat bar and thanked us for patience. So I got a bit irritable and asked what's up? He said that he was sitting there to try and find good virtues in the world and reward them.
So something which looked like an old guy just being crazy was actually a highly intelligent munk doing behavorial research and trying to use positive reinforcement.
"Who we are" I agree, it says something abou who we are however it does not define us. Also there is interpretation, cultural backgrounds and so many oher things to consider.
In closing. I believe there is a link between how you act and who you are no matter the context.
However without knowing the context, the reasoning and the intent it is very difficult to sumize if someone is a bad person. Furthermore I do not believe there are really bad people, a person is culmination of base desires and experiences which makes them behave in a certain way. Each interaction changes all parties involved in a minute way, my intent in my post as in most of my interactions is to try and make it a positive change. (of course my desires and emoitions do not always allow me to do so, which is ok :) ) |

Hi reminds so much of myself. For me the solution was mostly accepting I'm different from most and working on getting my emotions and rational on the same page.
I'm authistic with a high iq. From a young age I've survived by schutting my emotions away and ignoring them. To make matters worse I'm quite empathic. Resulting in emotionless and well reasoned argumentsduring emotional situations. This of course let to many bad experiences, since you cannot reason with nor against emotion.
Now when conversing through text the emotional handicap is shared by the other side, since text is emotionless.
Not saying you have the same issues as I have just wanted to share it with you. If you would like to discus it further feel free to choose your venue, PM or open forum are both ok for me. Of course no reply is required nor expected of you. |

Now I picture someone in an E-Scooter with CODE. written on it bumping peoplesGÇÖ shopping carts in a parking lot in order to prevent them from getting to their cars. When a card full of the most expensive stuff (liquor, steaks, exotic fruits) shows up the card gets blown up with some fireworks and someone utters insults to a lady he calls the "fairy" about not dropping the loot. A minute later (or two, if we are in an old and shady parking lot) the mall security shows up and obliterates whoever participated in the shopping cart gank. But soon they the guards all head off to a hotdog booth at the end of the parking lot because a small boy stole a bun and ran off. |
