What makes you you?

Whenever someone asks another person to describe themself, they go on to list characteristics of themselves. This can be good or bad depending on who they are talking to. A person that they know for a long time these traits may be true, but a person you just met may not know. So i just really want to kn ow, is there a way that a person can describe themself in a way that will make everyone have a better understanding of them. Its good to say that i am a good listener and caring person but I feel people can understand me more when I tell them that I visit a retirement home in my spare time for fun. Can anyone else describe themselves in a way that we can get a better understanding of them?

All I can say is I'm nice until it is time Not to be nice. After you get to know me , that's when you will see how...what? kind I am. I don't or should I say won't brag about myself.

I don't know exactly if people could describe themselves accurately for others to know them well, but one thing I know is that action speaks louder than words. Sure you can describe yourself in a very positive way but then sooner or later people would eventually see your flaws and because of that people would see you differently. So whenever people would ask me to describe myself i would always tell them, "why don't i show you so you can tell me." Eventually people see me as who i really am without reserves. I don't put my best foot forward, i just go on normally, therefore some accept me and some reject me. It really depends on the other person if they will acknowledge me or not, because i wouldn't change myself just for them, because i am who i am and there's nothing they can do about it. God bless you on your dilemma.

Make a list of something we do most frequently.Our traits can reflect from our habits.Even ourselves sometimes couldn't fully understand what's our traits or what kind person we are.

What you do is what makes you 'you.' Ask The Doctor.
