How do people describe you?

Post Reply New Topic

Hm

One girl described me once as "a person with lots of interesting stories, but never tells them to anyone". I'm a mystery to a lot of people I guess, they don't understand my behavior. I get both positive and negative connotations to it, some people think I'm shifty and sociopathic. I'm often described as very intelligent as well. When I was younger many thought I was shy or stuck up/arrogant.

My mother often calls me a perfectionist.

Ok, this is how I think people perceive or have perceived me based upon information I've gathered over the years:

As a kid:

1. Bad (as in behavior)
2. Dorky
3. Weird
4. Smart
5. Funny/silly
6. Creative/talented

As an adult:

Physical appearance:

1. Small
2. Cute
3. Young
4. Confused/bewildered
5. Angry/depressed

Personality:

1. Odd, weird, unusual, eccentric
2. Socially awkward
3. Immature
4. Callous/selfish/mean/insensitive
5. Inflexible/unyielding/stubborn
6. Intelligent
7. Talented
8. Perfectionistic


Some of these things are true, and some are not.

A lot of my behaviors are misinterpreted by others, and they don't actually know what my real personality is like underneath.

Varies from "Smart", "Intelligent", "Strong", to "Odd", "Crazy", "Weird".

But a little more than just that, I end up with "Child-like", "Innocent", "Moody", "Tomboy", "Silent", and sometimes a "Daredevil".

And a bit more specific than that, it ends up with "The girl who walks in miles with/out an umbrella", "The girl who is actually older than she look", "The girl who dumps everyone". "The girl who talks to herself while she walks", "The girl who always buy chocolates/ice cream".

I could care less as long as no ones bothering me, or treating me as equally.

People think of me as a Raging Wolfman....and run as fast as they can away from me!

Especially when my fangs get to be their full size....

"A stinking ret*d who's always crying". It took me about fifteen years to begin to grasp what he meant, and even longer to start feeling how right he was and the ensuing, absolute shame.

descriptions of me ive gotten are:
-unique
-creative
-awkward
-gifted (i hate this one the most it feels demeaning to me in a weird way, even more than awkward)

i like being called unique! i had to do an assignment in class and the girl i was paired with said that i was unlike anyone shes ever met and i thought that was awesome

lots of people think i'm angry/annoyed/detached. "mysterious", "standoffish", "cold".

but in actuality i am a lot like steel. if there is enough time and energy to warm up then i'm not so rigid and distant.

People tend to describe me based on my physical appearance and intelligence. That's really it.

It's run the gamut for me like what I've read here. I think it depends on who you are around and what they are looking for.

If I'm with less than stellar intellect, I'm stuck up or a snob.

If I'm with someone who needs a problem solved, I'm smart and attentive.

If I'm with others that just rub me wrong, I'm either mean, selfish or arrogant.

If I'm with someone who can't fix the problem and then gets upset when I do, then I'm someone who ran over them to 'climb to the top'.

Which is actually hilarious because all I managed to do is claw my way to the bottom and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

So, as in all things what they see varies. And the awkwardness just makes things worse all the way around.

Very withdrawn and incommunicado. And fidgety.

When I ask people to describe me in one word most say that I'm "eccentric" or nerdy

I wouldn't mind it if people described me as "eccentric" or even "nerdy."
