What Does an Avatar Say About a Person

Post Reply New Topic

I don't really like having pictures of me on internet forums... that's it really. Well, that and I thought the fish was kinda cool probably says something about my general level of connectedness to reality or something - I could try analysing it but I'd be lying.

My avatar spells it out. Quite literally.

Wolves are my favorite animal and they've been my obsession since I can remeber myself.

I don't like posting pictures of myself online. It makes me feel uneasy to know that strangers can see what I look like.

Not Darth Avatar topic

Mine is related to one of my interests (Guess who?).

At my age (54) I am no longer cute and cuddly like lions, wolves, anime, insects, objets d'art, etc.
I look so ordinary that I would be less interesting/noticeable than a tick on a clock.

i have mine as it is because i have been too interested in other things to put up my real face.
my avatar says a lot about how i feel in the presence of other people.

This one pretty much is expressing my delight at going to see Twilight.

My avatar says that I like the way my permit picture came out

I like symbols and logos. Mine represents my username and is easily recognisable.

I would change it more often, but I find it confusing when others do that with theirs so I don't want to confuse people by changing mine.

I guess the problem I´ve always had with my real face is that I´m not sure my face really expresses who I am inside. I always felt mismatched somehow...can´t really explain it, but I also had the impression people misjudged me for much of my life, based on my look. So I chose an avatar that I thought matched my personality better, unlike my real face. I also chose an avatar from here, which sort of matched my Username of Morgana. And I chose that Username because I was fascinated with Goddesses right before I (recently) became fascinated with Asperger´s Syndrome. I actually wanted to use the name "Artemis", as she is my token Goddess, but that name was taken. I could have also chosen Hecate, she´s also a pretty cool Goddess....

But I like the idea of avatars. I have trouble sometimes remembering faces, but I can remember a visual avatar so well. And, as there aren´t SO many faces on Wrong Planet, I remember all the faces too. But if this were an internet site with just our real faces with every post, I would have you all confused something awful! (It would be like life....arrrgghh). So, this works well for me.

didnt know avatars said anything about users,theyre just pictures of something to make an account different from another,as without them,all seem the same.
am have always used this photo of biscuit as an avatar on wp,like her more than anything,have got it saved on several computers in case all the avatars on wp got deleted/corrupted.

My avatar is a shrinked version of my favorite wall paper of all time. Full size it is amazing. Also, it reminds me of my brother since his computer is the first place I saw it.
The image says something about me too, In a way I can't explain.

Mine would suggest I'm a huge fan of Katie Jane Garside of the band Queenadreena and formally Daisy Chainsaw.

I'm also quite partial to tea.

I love wolves too. I have two wolf heads with celtic knotwork tattooed on my back.

They're not only beautiful, but admirable in all the ways I'm not - Fearless, confident and social!

I thought that biscuit was making some of the posts. All of my cats try to get in a few keystrokes.

Thankyou so much. I'm actually quite proud of my photos, I put a lot of effort into getting good ones (generally I would take about 600 in a round, then sort through and slowly delete until I end up with about 10 that I particularly like). I like the combination of blue, green, yellow, and some colour such as white or orange, so I find my eyes and hair colour a good medium to work with when combined with flowers and leaves. I'd love to actually make a gallery of them, but I'm always uncertain about showing them to other people in case they think they're vanity because I'm in them.

Just showin' off my favorite NASCAR driver!

I really like Sunshowers avatars but suspected deep down inside that they were survailence photos from the DEA since many of her plants look suspicious.
