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 think you seem like a caring person. I think I am too, but I often think others see me as stand offish. It's partly true, but mainly I'm shy.

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.

@AmbiePam You are welcome. Some of the sarcastic thought that I keep inside of my head are hilarious, but not everyone appreciates those comments. This was a really fun topic.

I think others might see me as standoffish. I can never quite believe that people would want to talk to me so I stand back quite often. It's different here. It's a captive audience. lol

Some people see me an oddball who likes classic television comedies and I like happy music which is not in tune with people who follow today's pop culture.

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.

Oh, Linda. You are such an amazing person, and you deserved an easier time of it. Unfortunately, we know life doesn’t work like that. Still yet, I hope you know I, and many others, hold you in the highest esteem.

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 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.

You’re obviously smart; there is no doubt about that. I’m shy too, but better than I used to be.
