If you were to describe yourself...

I think this is a topic that always seemed to interest me especially when people have asked me about myself. To start off, personally I'd describe myself as how I think I am: Compassionate, Innovative, Curious, Inquisitive, Emotional, Inventive, Helpful, Polite, and Reserved. Regarding the other traits I have, I think I most likely fall into the two main categories being Innovative and Compassionate. I think this is what makes me different or at least viewed as being the "outsider" by other's perception, but on the upper hand, I do enjoy having these qualities because in a way I'm proud that I have a mix of different traits of my personality. I'm just one of those people who like to think outside the box and am not afraid of willing to try new things. Despite that I'm a girl, I feel that these traits, not in a way that they are weighing me down because of who I am, but I think they kind of do make me stronger and find the person I want to become. That being said, what words would you describe yourself as?

different. i dont like what most people like. the most popular things i usually dont find interesting.

how i see myself -naive, shallow ,socially awkward , kind but i can be a ****. im not the nicest dude but i do what i can . Inpatient , shy and reserved(can be loud at times tho for instance when i play basketball im usually the loudest dude on the court and have gotten into quite a few fights because i wont let people disrespect )

how other people see me - dont talk to people and it comes off as if im rude or standoffish. as if i dont want to be bothered but thats just my face. been told i look like a fighter/ boxer so yeah i look unapproachable.

well iv been called MANY unsavory things...alot of them were exaggerated or never even true in the first place..I used to beat up on myself alot because of stuff like that...I could go into to detail but what i am at my core is: kind, caring, understanding, and extremely funny half the time but miserable at other times...I cant really turn it on or off..sometiems a just get really bummed out for no reason....but I get a kick out of being able to make people laugh and I feel terrible when I know iv hurt someone's feelings..even if it was an accident.

alot of the time I feel like i cant even relax enough to be myself around most people..like they'll just get annoyed or something.....I hold back too much because im so used to people disliking me.

I would describe myself as compassionate, awkward, creative, peaceful, quirky, sensitive, immature, open-minded, peevish, and complex. There are many layers and colors to me. I'm boring, but I also think I'm pretty interesting. I tend to come off as aloof. I may even seem cold at first glance, but I have a really warm heart.

Hmm it's interesting to see how people perceive themselves.
It would be even more interesting to compare it to how others actually see them, if the information is known.

I see myself as introvert, solitary, awkward, unconfident, but at the same time carefree, wreckless and ambitious in an unconventional way.
I'm slow in a lot of things I do. I have trouble expressing myself through speech, which in compensation made me a very concise person.

As for how people see me, I've been called shy, aloof, carefree, easy-going, wreckless, odd, artistic, adventurous, and apparently my patience knows no limit.

I'm also seen as some sort of hippie weirdo and an enemy of the system mostly by the people in my workplace. That's because I don't have a tv, I don't eat the same as them, I put almond milk and maple syrop in my coffee and I tell them they are ruining the planet using the k-cup espresso machine.

SO I don't think I'm very different from what people think I am.

That's funny, because I read this and I think they all apply to me as well.

And I don't think that any of those make you or me any more unworthy than anyone else.

I think I am sensitive, socially awkward, inquisitive, indecisive, relatively attractive, sometimes funny, anxious, somewhat intelligent, insecure, pessimistic, open-minded, usually kind (not sure if caused by fear or inherent in my personality) and an existential nihilist.
What I want for my personality to be: confident, compassionate, successful, secure, funny, talented, open minded, decisive, content, spiritual, and happy.

Well the way I see it you could have become mean, selfish, manipulative, greedy and violent but no, you're just socially inept, not particularly smart and kind of boring (you said it, not me). But you're nice and you probably wish you could make this world a better place either than a worst one. I'd rather have you walking the earth than the selfish manipulator mentioned above.

And by the way there is something very important to remember from what you just said.

You're not dumb, unfunny or boring, Graeme. Can't comment on the others cause I haven't met you in person.

Haha! Oh, how many times in school have I been forced to use a few words to describe myself. I usually stuck with "reserved" in favor of shy and awkward.

Although, I think introvert is a good word. Describes me well, and is a nice, easy explanation to people when they ask why I don't go out every weekend.

It's funny, there was a time when I was much more introspective than I am now, and if I was actually asked to describe myself, I would probably just rehash some old qualities I once saw in myself that no longer apply so much.

If I had to describe my current state though I probably go with uncaring and passionless. Quick to hate, bitterness, and annoyance (at least relative to how I once was) and of course shy/quiet/reserved/timid/anxious/or whatever way you want to describe my lack of talking, interaction, and outgoingness.

Intellectual, ambitious, accomplished, and simply better than most people.

I don't suffer fools gladly. Mediocrity and apathy will just grate on my nerves until I bring you to tears. I reserve my time for high quality humans only, people who actually believe life is about achievement.
