So what makes you... You? If you had to say one thing about yourself what would that be? Do you think that is different from what others would say? I just wonder how easy it is to have a better perception of yourself then others have. Which may or may not be justified. I mean in all honesty people just may not know you. Which brings up another question... Do you honestly care what people think about you? Not that "I am different and I dont care" pre-teen shit, but honestly you just dont care.. You are your own person and are just comfortable with being by yourself, sometimes even more then with others? Discuss. |

no, I said I was about to. If I cared about what others think of me, I could always get a My Space page and compare how many friends I have. I say what's on my mind and don't try to "fit in" with the crowd. Uniqueness is what makes us the most interesting creatures on the planet next to lemurs. That and opposable thumbs. |

I am pretty sure that my opinion about myself is better than other peoples' opinion, I believe that's normal. Surely, we could not live with ourselves very well if we did not think well about ourselves:) I take criticism seriously and always contemplate the possibilty that the other person is right and I am wrong. If I think that criticism is valid I change my attitude or behaviour, accordingly. However, my fundamental ethics and principles are not up for debate, I have spent many years of studying and learning to establish my ethical code. What other people think about me affects me but only if I respect these people. I could not care less about what immature, superficial, stupid, uncaring, rude, ill-mannered and cynical people think about me. That's a very interesting topic. |

It's probably put even more nicely than what they would say XD And, honestly, I DON'T care what people think of me. I'm unique and different (which is pre-teen shit XD). They're not. Which is why people reject me most of the time. But I learned to accept it. It's all so stupid, also. Music tastes, clothes, friend choices. Bleh. And I most definitely AM more comfortable being by myself. Hence the long weekends with nothing planned! XD It doesn't offend me when people discuss me. Not at all. :P Woah this is long :D |

A very interesting question, and one that's not easy to answer. Maybe I'll try later. |

It's all about perception. The people who "just may not know you" - unless you have actually just met and have not spent much time together - they DO know you. They know the you that you show them - which, I really do think is just as valid as what most people claim is "the real me". "The real me" is no less valid, but it's another perception. If people were asked about me, I am sure they would ALL say different things. My reactions are based on subtle social clues and previous interactions. I do not have a prescribed set of actions that apply for every encounter. Doubtlessly, my own perception of myself is different - as I am another person, with my own perception. I do not think my perception of myself is "better" or "more accurate", it's just another thought to add to the pile. I do not think there is more than one "me". I am not a "different person" when I am with my mother than I am when I am home alone and swearing at my computer. The thing that changes is NOT "me" - but the cues and my reactions. My mother is not an inanimate object that I feel comfortable swearing at. That, in my perception has changed - while I have remained constant. Just as I would be the "same person" while eating soup as I would a sandwich - just because I am doing something different in order to consume the food does not mean I have changed - I simply have the life experience to know that I can't drink a sandwich. I believe that "me" is an ever-changing thing. As it is with all people. Each experience adds to me. I am my experience - or, perhaps more importantly, my perception of it. But since we all live in "now", it's always "me" - we can't "go back". So although your interactions with a person may change over time, you are still you, and you are going to continue being you and adding to you. While on some level, you are a "different person" from moment to moment - this is not the same as saying that simply by choice of mannerisms a person "doesn't know the real you". Because you are always real, and always have been - as far as we assume. A certain perception is not "better". One may have exaggerated self-worth, or think they are a really good and moral person - but it's all perception and it's not really "better" since better is relative and a vague term. If I had to say one thing about myself, I would probably say, "I'm fantastic" and waltz away. I don't know if I think I'm really fantastic. Because I don't really care. I'm going to be me because no matter what I do, people who observe me are going to form an opinion. Why should I not do the most pleasurable thing ? Of course, in order to stay alive and keep out of jail, I do realise this cannot always be done. You are always yourself. What someone may have discomfort with is doing what they want to do - or they perceive themselves as lacking in courage or ability to the person they WANT to be - not the person they "are" - because the person they are IS the person they really are. You see, people who worry about being comfortable with themselves and being able to behave a certain way around other people and blame others for "not knowing them" - I don't think they get it. It's not the world's job to observe you. I am always "really me" - and since I cannot change that, I give in to it and accept it, so I don't live my life doing only half of what I wanted just because I was afraid of what I named the "real me" - but was, in reality, a fantasy created to justify certain actions in my life. |

To describe myself in simpliest form, I'd have to say I'm complicated. So complicated I don't even understand myself. Either digusting or pathetic. And I don't know how people percieve me. So I just have to keep my mind open for every possibility. It's rather confusing. |

You either are that or you aren't "normal" to them. Which I find disgusting. But is a person defined by what they want, by what they enjoy, or by what they do ? I'm sure all those things go into the sum of "a person", but I have always been told that "actions speak louder than words". There are many times when I would love to do something like swear at my mother. But, I hold myself back and do not do this. I don't view this as "not being myself" - but as making a choice in behaviour in hopes that the pleasure of the future will make up for not allowing myself to swear (which, at the moment, would feel really good). I certainly understand your "conflict". :) Sometimes, there's something you would like to do - but something holds you back, the memories of how people reacted before and what you predict they'll do again. But I still think you're being "you" - you are making a compromise. I don't think it's always right or noble to give in to your desires no matter what they are. I don't see anything wrong with "toning down [your actions]" in order to avoid an unpleasant reaction. It's up to you to decide when such a compromise is "worth it". This is just my opinion. I don't see a choice not to swear - or, my usual "compromise" to not wear what I "want to" - as being anything less than "me". I AM the one deciding not to swear, I am choosing this for a reason - when I am not swearing at my mother, or not wearing pearls, I am not a simplified version of myself or lesser "me" - I am simply myself, making choices. I understand making choices, about anxiety because it's not your first choice. But I still think you are "yourself". There are no versions of "you". There is just you - who makes choices, some choices you might not like. Or, maybe that's just how I see it. :) |

What a cool post! Sooooo what DOES make me ... me? I wish I knew. I suppose I'm at a stage in my life where I'm just trying to figure out who I am and what I stand for. I think I'm sort of hard to figure out. I'm really quiet and shy and I think that makes me somehow less approachable. But, trust me, I'm a pretty cool person once you get to know me! What I do know is that I think very highly of myself, most of the time at least, and I'm always right (or I like to think that I am). I'm very impatient and can have a pretty nasty temper if you get me riled up. I'm very sarcastic and sometimes even a bit cynical. I worry easily and have to plan everything ages in advance. I think of things differently than most people do and I would never change my opinions or morals to be percieved in a specific way. I DO care what other people think of me but not in an annoying superficial way. I want to be respected by my peers and lead a reputable life. However, I'm not going to shop at certain stores or hang out with specific people just to be accepted by a bunch of materialistic idiots. Quite honestly, I love being by myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hermit or a social outcast by any means. I just see my friends and family so much throughout the day that I REALLY value the time I get to spend alone. I love meeting new people and talking with my buds but after a while it all gets so overwhelming that I just need to chill out and be left alone! Overall I'd say I'm pretty happy with who I am. I do have days when I doubt myself or feel as though I'm doing something wrong. But when I look around and see how much worse off I could be I just stop and think that I am grateful to be who I am ... even If I don't really know who that is! lol. |

How to describe me.... Well. If I could describe myself all in all with a queen song it would be "I want it all." And I'm not spoiled.

I won't deny it, in a certain way, I DO care about what people think. Although I'm a person who talks a lot and loves to get into other people's business, it takes me a lot to talk to a stranger. It's easy for me to ask for information on the street, but you won't see me, let's say, talking to someone in at the doctor's waiting room. Then, someone breaks the ice, I won't just show exactly who I am. If while talking to a friend sometimes I seem to speak faster than I think, while talking to a stranger I tend to think carefully before giving any revelant information, to check if what I'm about to say will ruin the image I'm trying to make the person have of me or if it'll make the image stronger. But it's not like only strangers, but also some people who I just don't think that will like my "real self". I just act "natural" among friends and among people whose friendship I don't need and who I KNOW that won't be able to go and spoil my image to other people. My parents aren't people I trust totally. My father, for example, thinks I'll only look for a girlfriend after I finish studying, because I wanna dedicate all my time now to my studies, and in the spare time I wanna rest a bit, not give someone else attention. On the other hands, my friends KNOW that my "I wanna go to England when I finish school because they have good Biotechnology universities, while in Brazil it would take me many years studying Biology first and then doing lots of extra studying" talk is pure bullshit, and the only reason why I wanna go there as soon as possible instead of doing a good Uni here first and then going there is because of a girl. In a certain way, it's not like I'm AFRAID of not being liked, it's more like my way to get advantages from people. If someone can be useful but some of my ideas go against this person's ideas, I'll show him/her only the aspects about me that he/she would find positive. It just doesn't work among my friends, the real close ones, because I trust them enough to know that no matter what I do or say, they'll still be my friends. In this case, count as "friends" a very small group of like 5 or 6 people in real life, another small group of people who I don't know in real life (but who I trust as much as I trust my "real" friends) and "that girl from London". Like I said before, I also ain't afraid of being myself near strangers who don't make me feel like I'm losing something by acting natural near them. That's why I'm posting all this shit here right now. If there were people from school, for example, who were Queen fans and visited QZ regulary, I'd never post this here. About my looks, I hardly care at all. I used to care a lot, used to feel really unsafe. I used to think I was too ugly, and used to keep my haircut the way my parents suggested, and wear only what people suggested/gave me. If I went out with my parents, we stopped by a shop and my mum found some clothes that she found cool and offered me, I'd just say "yes". On the other hand, I'd never ask for clothes I found cool. And to be honest, I didn't really know what I really liked. Nowadays I wear what I like, and I ignore all the negative comments I get about my hair (which I get daily at school). When I was beginning to grow my hair, I used to get a bit upset with some comments. Nowadays I don't really get sad or anything, it just pisses me off when some people think they have the right to touch it, pull it, put things on it, and when I complain, they say it's "too big" or "not normal", as if I was doing something wrong, imoral, illegal... Well, that's it, I guess. |

What makes my essence??? Maybe some people know me a bit better than others here. I am just a simple girl I think. In fact: I am a very outgoing person and I like to talk with people a lot. I am not shy in that matter, I'm more shy in other aspects like for instance hitting on guys. I mean I have this case of my co-worker, everytime I talk with him I turn red all of the sudden, but oh well... Besides that I'm very into going out and travel now. I'm preparing my trip to Holland and I'm planning some vacations here with Tijn and Rick. And I have plans to go to other places so it's very exciting. I like my work: I like to talk with customers, but sometimes it annoys me the fact that they get like so angry and it's not your fault, I try to make them understand all the time, and if they seem to get even worse, I hung up, I swear!!! Besides that I love my family even when they don't understand me. I miss them like hell. Every time I hear The Beatles I get the feeling that I need my dad to talk about it. And I need my mom cooking a lot lately :P. About my looks: I'm a bit fat now, but besides that I think I'm normal. I'm not a goddess, but I'm not ugly either. If some guys like me that's an answer for my no-ugliness (xD). But I don't feel like I'm extremely pretty, and I like that 'cuz the flawless doesn't exists in this world. The others can have any kinds of opinions about me, but it's what I think about me that counts I think :) |

What can I say about myself. I'm a calm person, too much of a thinker sometimes. And I do care about what others think of me. That's why I'm always fighting for becoming someone. I can be quite stubborn with certain things. If I believe that my way is the right way, only a few people can change my mind. Beside that, I'm quite ambitious. I always want to win or to make something good of what I do. Not only to convince other people, but also for myself. That's just me. If you do it, do it good. I see myself as an all-rounder. I can play footy fairly good, am a good coach, I'm quite good in my work as a programmer and I believe I'm more than an average writer. But in non of these things I'm extremely talented... Beside that, I can be very sensitive. I've almost always been strong, emotionally.. but I found out lately that some things can turn me really down. Especially when you try really hard to make things work, and you slowly lose the grip without being able to change the situation. I've learned to give my opinion. I'm not afraid to speak in front of groups of people, or to say my opinion to people of higher ranks. I am who I am. And not who someone else wants me to be. |

Well I would say that different people would describe me differently as I truly open up to my close friends and people I feel comfortable around but with others I kind of close up a bit which I don't like doing but I can't really control who I am my full self to really. I guess when I'm with the right people I am a nutter really and I like making everyone laugh. I am really impatient due to the fact that I was mega patient before and then it totally reversed. I get fed up of people if I spend alot of time with them but I just take some alone time then I koinda relax. I like hanging around with my friends but I also enjoy being in my own company. I am really independent and it really annoys me when people are completely dependent on others and those who can't use their initiative. I am a nice person though and try to stick up for people. I would say that I was self conscious in the way I look as in if my hair was really messy, but not in the way I act and appear to others really lol Well thats about it really lol |

I sometimes feel like I'm a different person depending on with who I'm with. I can be very shy with some people, and extremely outgoing when I'm with certain other people. Or maybe I'm just choosing to show different sides of me to certain people. I don't know. I'm just a little boy. Help. |

This quote reminds me of my headmistress one time when she told everyone at a Award Show Event. She went out of her way to preach how you can change someone elses life by being the Shepherd, you know, being the role model of some sort. You can make a difference. Also, to never follow the bad crowd. Those kind of people only bring you down. Where you only want to be is up. She went on about how choosing to go to College is one of the positive ways of reaching to the top. Which is what I am doing now, reaching to the top, to my goal in life. I'm not following any crowd or gang. I'm not some smart ass. But I'm not some dumb ass too. I choose the right friends, the right people to assoicate with. I'm lucky, I know a few people who never had it that way. End up in jail because they were assoicating with the wrong crowd. I've seen SO many friends take the wrong path and follow the bad sheep. Take drugs, smoke, drink till they can't function anymore. They think by doing this they look absolutely fucking cool. That they'll get noticed. They'll be treated with more respect. Respect? Ha, for how long? You even call that respect? Jesus christ, they don't know whats hit them. They can't see that all what they are doing to themsleves will distory them. Mentally and pyshically. I've been there for them. I've tried to talk them out of it all. Never works. So what am I ment to do? If I keep pestering them I'll sound like their parents. Anyway, I've just never forgotten what my headmistress said to us all that day. It has always stayed in my head. "Be the shepherd not the flock.." That goes for many other aspects in life. |
