People come and go in our lives and you will always remember persons that have been part of your life, it maybe a friend or just someone you see everyday but really didn't have the time to mingle with them. but still you have memories of them and in one way or the other there are things that you will always remember about them. It maybe a common gesture they have, or a habit, the way they laugh, the way they walk, the way they carry themselves, the perfume that they use, their attitude, it could be limitless.
I have a college friend who has a very low attention span, and he as this ability to sleep very quickly, even in class or when we are talking inside the quarters. and one friend of mine, has this habit of touching his nose with his fingers palm facing away from him.
An acquaintance once told me that she remembers me because of the perfume that I was wearing. and she pointed out that I really have a habit of putting my right hand inside my pocket. and it made me realize that she really does remember me.
so... how do people remember you and vice versa?

Hi there!
I would want someone to remember me as a bubbly and funny person. I don't want that people will remember how serious I am because that will make things worst. I am sometimes at my best when I'm serious or it means I don't want to be bothered.
So there!

I played tennis (not professional but recreational)for the past 25 years. One of the ways, my friends and acquaintances of wayback when, remember me as a good tennis player (at least by our own standards). They call me names like "the champ", and the "living legend". Well, there must be a little truth in that but much is said just for fun. I remember people by their distinguishing marks on their faces (not physical disabilities) like a mole, a scar or a dimple on the cheeks or chin. They are sort of "landmarks" for me to easily identify them. I also remember people by their good deeds rather than their popularity.

I think people will remember me for being a person who has a jolly disposition. I always have a happy face when facing people. I keep it that way, even if i am bleeding deep inssde, because it's what i want people to remember me.

Ya we remember the people who came across our life by there nature.Actually 99% of people judge people on the basis of how they are favorable to us.But everyone is right at his place and can not conclude why the particular person behave in particular way in some situation.

I don’t know how people would remember me, but according to one of my ‘former’ best friends I am remembered as a dunce. I went all the way to New York to see my brother a few years ago, and we stopped and visited with her about an hour before we made our way to my brother’s house. We were laughing about the old days of being kids and she said ‘you are still a dunce’… she was laughing… and I was hurt, but I didn’t let it show. I cried when I got back in the car and I haven’t felt the same about her since. She knows how bad I was bullied, and she knew that she was my only friend as a kid, and for her to say that told me that she was just like all those other kids that said I was stupid.

I'm sure your former best friend didn't mean to hurt you. But she surely has not been careful of the words that she utter and I know that must have been a disappointment that you seemed betrayed by a friend. Well friends sometimes do stupid things, you should talk to her about it. It's hard to keep good friends.

People remember as the shy and quiet one. I am actually shy and quiet at school. I only have limited close friends with me. In college, I started and at work I started to gained some more but not actually a lot. So most of the people knew me as a quiet one who don't talk much often and shy. But the friends I have who became close to me, says I am not shy, talk a lot, and crazy. Some of the new friends I've made never believed me when I say I am shy and quiet.
I told them to connect with my classmates in FB and ask them

I believe that most people are like that enelym. They tend to be very comfortable with their friends that is why they can be "playful" in a way. but around people that you don't feel comfortable with, like people that are acquainted to only and not really close. I am like that specially in public places.

Most people when they say they remember me they tell me that it's my ability to make people laugh that they remember the most. What they don't realize is that growing up I was always so shy & nervous around people so to help me feel more at ease around them I would try to make them laugh & apparently it worked. Now as for me remembering them I always seem to remember people for the most part. It's just their names that I can't ever seem to remember. No matter how many times people tell me their names I always seem to forget. I don't do this on purpose or because I am uninterested in knowing their name I'm just not good with names. I recognize their faces but almost never their names.

I just noticed, that I myself have a very hard time remember other people's names. Yes, I know them by face as well, but I am the same as you who has a very hard time remembering names.
It is good that you were able to overcome you being shy and nervous. and I think making other people laugh is a good way to start a companionship, because alot of people really admire those who can make other people laugh, and I am one of them
