Abstract
This survey summarizes a larger diploma project. It is based on people's behaviors mainly on Facebook, but it includes observations on specialized forums, comments under blog posts, news, etc. Its purpose is to be useful for counselors and therapists, who do not have experience on the web, and to help them understand their clients better and to detect the real problems with their client's communication in virtual and real space. Basing on the Reichian theory of the five human characters, this survey is a brief comparison between typical verbal and non-verbal behaviors in real life and in the virtual world of the Internet. The main conclusion is that the behavior on the web is more congruent to the character than in real life communication.
