another poster inspired this question: how would you describe your personality (either through your eyes or through others')?
I'm always shocked when people describe me as easygoing or outgoing. I see myself as a moody recluse always on the verge of a panic attack (!)... |

Odd, and self conscious that's how I see myself. Others are allways telling me how easy it seems to be for me to talk to people and for them to talk to me....I don't know who they're talking about because its not me. They also see me as an old hippy, that's not so far off, I'm pretty left of the center.

It depends on the alter up front. One of a hundred. Who ever is up. Everything?

I'm not sure because I usually flip flop.

Strong, determined, creative, and empathetic. My husband tells me others are intimidated by me. I don't like that, I'm trying to work on that one. I think I come across that way to protect myself from getting hurt. I don't trust people.

This does describe me when I am "up" in mood. When I am down, I can be insecure and brooding.

I'll list the positives and leave out the many negatives: chipper, cheerful, charismatic, "cute", helpful, friendly.

People never see me when down, only when up and they think I'm always like that. I've been told I'm confident, passionate and inspiring. But I'm really not. I'm more often a hermit with no will to do anything and watching life pass by.

This is a great question. It's also the basis for a personality test that I had to do when I was interviewed for my first aco****ing job. Which is very silly because in that setting you are going to leave out the more negative things. Anyhow....
For me, I see myself as kind of smart, emotional, kind of lazy, fat (I've actually lost like 85 lbs and am in pretty good shape now, still see myself as fat), lost potential, extremely shy, sarcastic, very opinionated, kind of self centered, feel like a burden frequently, troubled, a bad person, moodly and introverted. My Meyers-Briggs type is INTP, and is disturbing accrurate.INTP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia How others see me, shy, very quite, smart (probably a bit of a know it all), emotionless, distant, reserved, a bit odd, amazed how i was able to lose weight (I have no idea what it means personality-wise, but it gets commented on a lot), aloof, opinionated, sarcastic, blunt, care free, or maybe just uncaring. I think a lot of how people see me is based on how I have coped with my mental issues. I've built a very strong wall over the years, but it's probably not a good thing. Maybe someday I can dismantle it.

March to the beat of my own drum. Overly cautious but once I warm up to someone loyal and full heartedly care for the person. Reserved with my emotions due to insecurities. Sharp tongue and sarcastic humour but will spare change for anyone who needs it. Definitely an advocate for the underdog, which creates arguments but if it's for the right personal cause I don't mind making enemies. Majorly judgemental at first but quickly can change that when I get to see good qualities in the person. Passive in most scenarios unless my mood and anxiety is bad then 0-60 control freak comes out.

Positive: determined, creative, avant-garde, empathetic, intelligent
Negative: a tad bit neurotic, self-deprecating, too opinionated for my own good, impatient, impulsive
