I actually find that I'm more awkward online/in chats than IRL.

The fact that you have longer to think about your messages and modify them before publishing, that you have to think carefully so as not to multi-text (which seems desperate), that you don't have access to non-verbal cues for context, can't smile etc. all contribute to this.
