How would you describe yourself?

Do you think you see yourself as others see you? How do you see yourself? I’m past trying to change anyone’s opinion of me. If someone wants to believe a lie, that’s not my concern. Thankfully, anyone who knows me can usually discern what is real and what is not. I tell you, some things people believe of others are crazy. I’m like, well did you talk to them about it? Or do you just assume? What do you guys think?

I think I'm a sweet and loveable guy who cares about other people... I usually try to help if people have problems but I will stop if the person is bringing the problems on themselves... I don't like getting tangled up in someone else's problems if I can help it. I also like to have fun and try to help others see the funny side of things... I don't know how others see me and, think they don't really see the real me... I'm more of an introvert than most people believe. *shrug* How do I see you? You're sweet and can be funny... I enjoy visiting with you but, for some reason, I'm kind of reserved around you, too. Maybe it's your religious background that makes me feel that way. I really don't know. (The conversation this morning was the most daring I've been around you and worried you'd be offended by it. I'm glad you saw the humor and didn't take offence.)

Oh, I get the religious thing A LOT. And I appreciate that most people don’t throw F bombs directed at me, but I’ve been told so many off color jokes I think the amount might be unusual. I’m glad you’re you, and if anyone has a problem with you that’s on them.

I think you’re a sweet individual!! I hope people see me as warm and funny. I try to be both, reflecting the love of God to everyone that I can. Oh, and there is all that music garbage in my head…. Truth be told: I’m almost an anti-social introvert. I know that sounds funny from someone who seems to be on a mission to meet every American myLotter. But I really am awkward around others, and two hours is my limit then I have to crawl back into my shell.

I identify with that so much. Two hours is my limit in social situations. I just can’t do more than that. It was that way even before I got sick. And thank you for thinking I’m sweet.

I'm a perfectionist; and I like things done my way. I can be stubborn and I'm not spontaneous. I'm a big planner and might plan trips months in advance. On the other side, I'm respectful of people's feelings; and I can be a bit of an introvert. I tend to trust too much and too soon; and I've been burned a lot that way. I think you're an amazingly sweet and generous person; and I'm glad to have you as my friend.

This is a good question that requires a lot of thought, at least on my part. But then, I well know I tend to overthink things. I have reached the point in life that I know myself pretty well. I know I am a very strong woman, and I know I am an extrovert. I also know why those are my two key strengths--it started when I was very young. I HAD to be my own advocate, and I had my little sister to think of and care for. If I wasn't strong, I knew we wouldn't survive the situation we were in. You are correct in that people often assume, rather than help or try to find out what is real and what is not. I cannot abide cruelty, hate, excessive anger...as I said, I've seen enough. The world needs more kindness and love and caring, and I hope when I leave this world, I will be remembered for those things.

@AmbiePam I truly do hope so. Often when people judge others quickly without putting much thought into it, they jump to conclusions. They don't know the person, they believe what they have heard, or fabricated, and don't bother to look past that. Sad.

i think my perception of myself and of other people may not be the same. i also think that people with blue eyes may seem colder than they really are, which i have by accident. also, my eyes are small so when i don't see things from the distance, i seize down my eyes, maybe looking arrogant to strangers but i am not; i may appear like that in unpleasant situations too. i am a big introvert, with a gentle side that i don't like to show to everyone cause, we can't trust anyone so sometimes i may appear colder, but i am not. all in all, people see what they want to see, it seems What do you think about yourself, if i may ask?

Thank you, Heather. You are a funny lady, but take out the old part. I don’t detect age in your attitude ant all, although you’re probably feeling it physically. I know I recently thought, if I feel like this at 44, what am I going to feel like at 54?

I have learned this when I was in high school, no matter what you do, some people like it, some people just don't like it. So I just learned that, do what I like, and ignore what other people think, especially those who don't matter. But when it comes to those who matter, I can't help but still insist of doing what I want to. I think I am quite a stubborn person, but this is my life, I choose my path. Recently just a few people said I am quite odd, my way of thinking is unusual and different, in a nice way. I am sure there are many people out there think I am awfully odd, in a weird way and not so pleasant way too. Well, I am too lazy and having time constraint to think about what others think of me now. Good that you have people who know you well. Hope you are feeling good.

I am a chameleon - and I know it . I tend to go with the flow/vibe of the other person, so generally I think I get along with most people. Different people might describe me differently . . . one might not believe another . But get to know me . . . then you'll know the real me. No one should assume anything. On that note, I think folks online don't get to see me as I really am. I'm ok with that . . . real life is just too real and I can never really step away . . . I like being able to come and go online like a ninja . I might have already told you that you are the kind of person who always has the right thing to say. You are sincere and have a good heart . . . I appreciate you're always keepin' it real .

I'm often told that I am funny, but it is a dry humour and often sarcastic-my bad. I am an honest, and generous person who would literally do anything to help another out. I believe that we all have to share this world and we might as well get along and help each other out to make each other's time here on this earth a little easier, plus it might catch on, and will have a ripple effect. You, are a generous and thoughtful person. That I KNOW for sure Amber.

I would describe myself as reserved and quiet in uncomfortable or new situations. I think people see me as shy which I can understand as I'm guarded with opening up until I become better acquainted with someone. I'm not a big talker or storyteller, but more of a listener who will comment or express an opinion when asked. I think people have my personality mostly right.
