    Default Gaming affecting personalities?

    Just a sudden thought, don't kill me.

    Do you think that MMOs, I say that because of the online interaction, can affect one's personality in anyways?

    If you get addicted, yes. If you play casually, I don't see anything wrong with it.

    yes, because people you talk to can't hit you in the face.

    i don't really think it changes your offline personality though.

    I'd say the way you interact with people might be different. Your more shy, less likely to make new friends, face to face at least. You could be lazy, or just have no motivation to pursue anything?I don't know.

    It really just depends on you. Your temper, your own personality, etc.

    It does. Actually if you play very competitive games you'll become much more aggressive towards others.

    it depends on you, and only you. I dont have a hard time making friends or talking to them. What I find hard is making friends in MMOs. never finding a longstanding/trustworthy, party/group/guild/team/clan.

    I'd say that they can, but no more than any other experience potentially can. For example, in the short team getting PK'ed over and over while trying to quest/grind in an open-PvP game will probably make you somewhat irritable for a few minutes/hours.

    For a more long-term example, being the leader of a clan/guild could permanently instill a deeper sense of responsibility into a person that would likely carry over into real life.
