Measures of Intensity

Written, I'm much less intense than I am in person. In person, if I'm energized, if I'm on, I'm very upfront, loud, giggly, and concentrated. This scares some people off, or appears to.

Text-only, you can tune down the loudness, because I don't scream in caps. My voice in person has 7+ years of singing behind it, a year of theatre, and gods knows how much in arcane training. I'm schooled in making ordinary conversation audible to the entire room.

Text-only, I'm bound to think of my words beforehand.

Text-only, I don't put my foot in my mouth half as often.

Text-only, I'm forced to put impulses through my brain before acting on them.
