Who are you?

Can be as short of long as you like, as open or closed-book as you like, but here's mine!

I'm a blues guitarist. I'm a computer know-it-all. I'm Scottish, with an English accent that spans Oxfordshire, Nottinghamshire, and has a hint of Scottish to it at times. I currently live with my dad and step-mother, until this housing business is sorted and I get my own pad; if you wanna judge me for that, then go ahead - be that person. I love German, have taught myself, since 3-4 years ago, and continue to learn, although more casually now, as I speak with German peoples, so I tend to just learn as I go. I find psychology fascinating. I have OCD and anxiety issues. I'm sensitive, but I do have a sense-of-humor, and am perfectly capable of jest. I'm quite a logical person, and can be very analytical - I'm a thinker. I can be empathetic. I appreciate small things in life, like the countryside, rain, the smell of rain, the beauty of moths, the ability to see, feel, and touch. I wear glasses; I hate it, but that's life. I'm told that I'm "clever", but I prefer to think that I'm just "not stupid", albeit somewhat blonde at times. :P I'm Leo, and as such, can be quite protective and defensive. I don't do it so much now, but I like to make music using professional music editing software, a midi keyboard, and some other bits 'n bobs; I'm not great, but I'm not too bad - my last track was a cover of the classic: Axel F. I'm not into politics. I'm not that religious - I guess I'm an agnostic. I'm insecure, but then I'm betting we're all insecure about something. I want to live forever, see everything, do 'almost' everything, see extraterrestrials, learn about the technology of the future, and so much more. I'm not closed-minded. Like my dad, I can be stubborn and sometimes struggle to swallow that pride, but I get better at it the older I get. I'll be 27 in a week or so. Oh sweet joy. That's about all I can be bothered to put down. :P

So, who are you?

If I knew who I was I would not be in Therapy or is this more of a "Tell me about yourself" thread?

Yes. 'o.O

That's interesting, and amusing!!!Welcome

Hmmmm.............having a hard time answering this.

I love dachshunds and I have a mini. I like nature(pants,flowers,bugs,dirt,gardening). I powerlift and olympic lift(crossfit) because it is very mindful and put out mental/emotional firestorms in my head. I am also a level 1 crossfit coach and coach about 12 classes a month. I am not the best but I am not the worst. I like helping people feel good about themselves when they think they can't and I help push them through.

I go from extremes. I am either hyperaroused or hypoaroused and we are working on finding a balance. My views swing from one end to the other depending on what part is triggered. We are working on finding "self". I use sexual innuendos as comic jest and cross boundries at time.

I am not religious and have polictical views that would shock people so I keep them to myself. I feel I can be on the edge of evil.

I do not want to live forever and if I had a chance to die today I would take it.

I'm a Singer and aspiring song writer (although, I can't seem to grasp the writing part) I'm a lover of animals, and all things living. I'm a Mommy to a sweet toddler and two dogs. I'm a nature lover and enthusiast of most things 'out doors'. I'm extremely empathetic and feel the need to help anyone I can, even if that means putting myself last (which I'm learning isn't always healthy). I'm Bisexual, I fall in love with people for their soul, not their gender. I'm very sarcastic and candid with my sense of humor, not everyone can understand it, but the people who do usually appreciate it. I'm in a marriage that isn't turning out the way I had hoped. I have ADHD with some depression and anxiety, I've been seeing Dr.'s for it since I was a child. I strive to be a care free soul, but deep down I'm complicated and full of 'cares'. I know where I am, but still I feel lost.

I'm just like everyone else. Nothing amazing or special, but I'm not a nobody either.

Who am I?
I like to fly away, sometimes to a castle cloud in the sky. There I feel quite safe amid the misty vapors free to dream.
I'm grounded further down than a Bahama blue hole canyon cave.
My inner soul is so old it watched in Awe as the stars swirled & formed.
I believe in freedom of all things great and wild, and those things not so great & quite tame.
Persuade me to your cause not with threats but with logic, facts & words, perhaps I'll join your view. Without a doubt I will listen to what you have to say.
Some, have called me a word-smith but it's blood, sweat & curses to move the pen. I write more purple prose than good verse.
In books I've traveled galaxies, I've read quite many. I thirst to know the how & why of everything around.
This here is the core of who I am.

I think I am a person

A single mother of two adult children. Still a work in progress. Haven't figured out yet what I will be now that the parenting stage is over.

Who am I?

I'm a freak ***** BABY!!!

a strange visitor from outer space, with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal man..................

Look! here I am

Lol Some of these are brilliant. Thanks for posting! Encore!

Some people call me a space cowboy, some call me the gangster of love...
No, but seriously. I'm an enigma.

ahahaha that was excellent (I totally have that song in my head now)

part of me just wants to say "I have no idea" and leave it at that, and the other half wants to define, as specifically as possible, every aspect of myself that I can think of.
I am someone who places an extremely high value on accuracy.

My history has been a complex one. I was an only child and my parents were strange and overprotective. I grew up being very emotionally immature; I was unable to cope with stress, making decisions or relationships. I had very poor social skills and lived in a kind of naive fantasy world in which I had some odd ideas. I was an alcoholic for some time and had very silly behaviour.

Now I am 40 and have two children and I own a home. I live with my wife and children on weekends; during the week I live near my work which is 132 miles away. I am a software developer. Recently I got a PhD in computer science.

I still have no real friends and am often lonely, despite being a family man. Stress continues to be a problem for me. I also drink heavily at weekends and am obese. My son is on the autistic spectrum and my wife has psychological problems. But there are many positives in my life. I enjoy reading and my computer and I have a well-paid job.

I'm a shake dem haters off type of girl. I been through a lot in my 29 years. I seen many things u would not believe. I have eaten many egg rolls you would not believe. But besides all my glory, one could not imagine the tangled web I weaved in my weaving class in 8th grade. It was pretty awesome. So anyways, its all good and its pretty cool to know how to make beans and crochet. Peace.

Hmmm I'm a single mum of one young child. I'm 40 and Pisces. I'm a lost hopeless romantic who is always getting hurt and dumped on from a great height. I'm a rock chick a suppose but like all kinds of music depending on company and mood. I love Dali's art work. I love the "Shabby Chic" look in decor around the house. It's taken nearly 4 years but I now get along with my child's dad. I'd love to be a computer/web nerd/geek but find it very difficult to study as my concentration levels are poor. I'm into many tv shows from Buffy to NCIS. These help keep me sane as does the internet and fan art. I don't have any pets. I hate housework. Oh, I'm Bipolar 1 and feel I have been under this cloud since I was 6. I have also experienced way too much in life and want a bit of a break from my own mind sometimes. That is all, today!!

Someone who died a long, long time ago

In this book of Life
You're my protagonist,
Antagonist, heroine.
No matter what your role,
Know that I love you.
Protagonist me -
Go boldly, head high.
Antagonist me -
It's a will struggle, a trap!
Heroine me -
Thank you for your patience.
Unnamed me -
You too are loved.
My love is a promise,
A comfort, a bond;
We're in this together, Self,
You and I.

I am a lonely man whose inner child was suffocated by my parents when I was very, very young. I never learned how to play. I had no friends and learn poor social skills from older family members. I did not receive sufficient nurturing and developed PTSD early in life from the emotional and negligent abuse of my parents. I was raised to be non-sexual and subservient. I have been repeated mistreated socially and on the job, increasing my depression and PTSD. Despite all my therapy and meds, I show no progress. There is very little to build on. I just am socially inept, deeply scarred and damaged with problems for which there is no cure. Being gay has made my life even more complex and difficult. Often people treat me as insignificant and undesirable. I don't have the looks or money to make it in the gay community. I now consider myself asexual and am happy to be and stay sexually disease free as well as free from pressure to use illegal recreational drugs. I wish my health were better. Chronic issues like IBS, problem feet, anxiety, arthritis and epilepsy further complicate my life. Sometime, I don't understand how I am still alive and still have the drive to stay alive. I rest a lot to help me deal with all of my impossible issues.

Am me.

This thread is a fab idea!

I'm Megan, 23. Mother of one. Just graduated (neuroscience). I'm obsessed with brains! I want to get in to research and have a career that I love and that can potentially make a difference to people's lives.
I'm borderline, PTSD (although I disagree with that dx). I have rejection and abandonment issues, and severe identity distortions when going through stress.

I love too much

I'm a super independent introverted writer. I don't drink, do drugs, or smoke. I love blues music, being alone, and reading. My biggest pet peeve is being accused of something I never did.
