How do you think you come across to other people?

Online, people think I'm out of my mind. :Spin:
In real life, quiet, kinda intense but very even, not easily shaken up, can easily deal with multitudes of things going on all at once efficiently, calmly. People I have worked with and people I've known tend to lean on me too much because of this. People think I'm very strong.
But actually, I really have no idea what people really think. Sometimes people I don't know come right to me to talk to me, I have no idea why, or they'll turn and stare, I can see them doing it, I have no idea why. Or they'll smile at me and I don't know why they're smiling at me. I just look through them, I don't know what they want. Sometimes nothing, I'm not there at all. If I want someone to move away from me though and I'm thinking it, they do. I don't know what they're thinking or what look is on my face.

Does this image match what you think you about
yourself?

Kind of. I'm quiet, I guess. But I'm not confident in myself, no. Strong, not really, I try though. Everything else, I don't know what's going on, so I don't know. I can't see myself and I'm innocent this way.
~~~~

What do you aspire to do with your life?

travel continually
~~~~

What are you doing with your life now?
studying
~~~~

What or who has had the most impact on your
character?

My previous boyfriend Randy, this one guy now (Wicaya, aka.Ben), my husband, and the Sikhs I worked for who were a bunch of tough mo-fo's but a family I never had when I really needed one.
~~~~

Can you see a common theme running through the
people you are closest to you and/or the people
you look up to -What is the theme?

The people I look up to are usually brilliant hard-ass intellectual men who make me tough. People who expect a lot from me, who make me stand up on my own. I've had some bosses like this and people I've known close to me like this.
~~~~

Name a cause or subject you feel passionately
about. Describe why.

Sex. Well, it's sex.
~~~~

What, in your opinion, is the biggest problem in
the world today?

People. I don't like them much. We should all go away.
~~~~

Do you remember your dreams?
Yes, always.

[Frodnat]

Thought maybe you all might wanna share how you think about yourself and your life.

It is a good life. Try to stabilize everything since the last year. Stability is more important to me nowadays then reaching the highest levels of intensity. These moments will vanish!!!

How do you think you come across to other people?

Calm, nice, adequate, shy, tough, intelligent, sometimes resevered and sometimes insecure.

Does this image match what you think you about
yourself?

Most often it does, because I try to show my real face.

What do you aspire to do with your life?

Becoming what I couldn´t be in the past, exploring myself and others...

What are you doing with your life now?

Working as a Ph.D. student in neurobiology. Beside looking towards the past and the future...

What or who has had the most impact on your
character?

Myself. The life I had and have!!!

Can you see a common theme running through the
people you are closest to you and/or the people
you look up to -What is the theme?

They are totally different. Most of them are partially blind.

Name a cause or subject you feel passionately
about. Describe why.

No passion. Passion takes too much room.

What, in your opinion, is the biggest problem in
the world today?

The superficiality...
Do you remember your dreams?

Most of the time. When I wake up I have to stabilize the memories of my dreams then I remember almost everything. Sometimes I wish I couldn´t remember...

 

[Dhatura]

How do you think you come across to other people?

Smart, strong and independent.

Does this image match what you think you about yourself?

Smart: yes, strong and independent: not (really)

What do you aspire to do with your life?

Want to have money so that I can do whatever I want (i.e. nothing )

What are you doing with your life now?

None of the above. Having a job I don't really like, getting tired of trying to figure out how I could change it.

What or who has had the most impact on your character?

My granny, the ones who have hurt me or loved me. And myself. I'm a docile one.

Can you see a common theme running through the people you are closest to you and/or the people you look up to -What is the theme?

Sense of humour and irony.

Name a cause or subject you feel passionately about. Describe why.

Justice. Dunno.

What, in your opinion, is the biggest problem in the world today?

Erm... it's too expensive. (Or maybe I'm too poor, hehe.)

Do you remember your dreams?

Yes, a lot of times, I remember some very old dreams. I love them.

 

[Feanor IV]

How do you think you come across to other people?

Aaaah, I don't really know. Maybe a guy who thinks a bit about things out of the ordinary every day stuff. Who thinks about the others as well, hopefully. Funny, maybe. Not snobbish, I hope.

Does this image match what you think you about yourself?

Yes, I believe so. However, some people get a wrong impression in the beginning. Maybe not so much now, but in the past everyone thought I was joking all the time and was never really serious. But when they got to know me better they were frequently surprised to find out that it was not really like that. I can remember that with a lot of people I knew some years ago.

What do you aspire to do with your life?

Play music seriously. I really take it seriously, I don't want to do it only to say that I play music, I really feel that's what I want to do with my life.

What are you doing with your life now?

I'm studying applied physics and trying to work with music as much as possible. Taking classical guitar, vocal and musical theory lessons.

What or who has had the most impact on your character?

My parents probably and also my closest friends.

Can you see a common theme running through the people you are closest to you and/or the people you look up to -What is the theme?

Yes, and I'm proud of it. And I'm also proud that it's NOT that we all like the same music. I really hate it when people make friends only because they like the same music, I find it really stupid. The common theme is that we all think about other people as being equal to us. That we don't find excuses for doing what we don't like to see done by other people. That we're objective.

Name a cause or subject you feel passionately about. Describe why.

Music, personal relationships. Life itself. It's really so wonderful that there's life on this planet. Nature: because I almost weep when I look around and see trees, mountains, snow, rain, sun.

What, in your opinion, is the biggest problem in the world today?

That people think of themselves as something above and beyond other people. That people think their life is more important than other people's life. That people say "what do you think you can do to change things? Nothing, so just don't think about it".

Do you remember your dreams?

My dreams in life: yes. The dreams I see in the night, no. Not in general. My girlfriend remembers them all and she can't understand how I can forget them all!

Can you see a common theme running through the
people you are closest to you and/or the people
you look up to -What is the theme?
probably, but I agree with Tools on that one, they are in my life for a reason, and most of the times you don't see the reason until they moved on and are no longer a part of your life anymore.
For the rest: everyone in my life is there for another reason, and they contribute to it in very different levels and reasons.

about. Describe why.
My job. It means a lot to me to contibute something to the lives of the kids I meet in work relations. I hope I can make a difference somehow, no matter how small.

Gosh, my dream was really weird, it was actually a film, I mean not like a film, but it was a film. It featured black characters, and the black girl was knocked down by the black boy in the end, and she died. She challenged him though. I wonder where these movies come from.
