Personally, I tend to pick up little bits of everyone's personality here just based on their responses, posts, etc. But I can't say that I really know how to describe anyone. So I was curious how everyone would describe themselves, how does everyone view their own personalities and foibles?
I'll start. The Webgoji is a dinosaur. My views are so old-school the hipsters would call me "retro". ![]() I tend to be talkative and engaging and try to be helpful both at work, home and around friends. People have said that if The Webgoji doesn't like you, then you must be a real $#@hole. ![]() I've got an overdeveloped sense of right and wrong and duty to the people around me. I guess you could call me a humanist in many ways. When I ask someone how their day is going at work, I genuinely want to hear and maybe help if there's a problem. My family is crazy important to me and I'm as loyal as a lap dog to them. My daughter is married and has 2.9 kids (one due in a couple weeks), both grandsons. I'm very proud of both her and my Son-in-law. I'm a father first and buddy second to my kids. My daughter was always comfortable asking me the hard questions growing up and I feel good about that. Now my boys are getting to be the same way. "Dad, if you do it %$#@%$ can you get pregnant?" ![]() ![]() Mrs Webgoji is my universe and I'm like some wayward comet trapped in her gravitational pull. We've gone through rough patches over the years (and are in one now), but we've held together. I try to be as supportive and caring as I can and she's even commented about how sometimes she wishes I wouldn't put her on such a pedestal or would yell at her when one of her schemes didn't work out. Not gonna happen though. ![]() So that's me in a nutshell. Ever the quester I feel like I want to help guide people through their journeys so that maybe I can understand the journey I'm on myself. How about you?

"I'm like some wayward comet trapped in her gravitational pull" - I love that image. Well said, Webgoji.
![]() I'd like to start of with "Hi, I'm Lexa", but that's not my real name. It's the name i wanted to use for my future daughter, but I found another name i like a lot more. However, I'll try my best to describe the person behind this name as honestly as I can. When I think of myself, the first thing that comes to mind is a phrase I've been told too often- "you work too hard" It's reached a point where that phrase seems more like a bad thing rather than a good one. I'm very much of a loner, almost a recluse. It's not social anxiety, no. I just prefer to be alone with my thoughts under a tree somewhere, rather than in a crowd of people. In person, I tend not to talk much, but over the phone or pc, I can talk your ears off. Hehe. I try to help out wherever I can, how ever I can. I'm better at listening to problems than at giving advice, but that hasn't stopped me from trying. I'm one of those people who don't get angry often. I sort of soak up everything like a sponge, let things slide, until reach a point where I have taken all I can, and if I'm triggered then,Heaven have mercy on the cause of my anger. My faults: I trust too easily. I'm very hard-headed, especially when it comes to accepting help. I prefer to do things on my own, otherwise, it somehow seems like a weakness in my eyes if I complete a task with the help of another. This is ten times worse when I am in a position where I have to ask for the help of a man. Likes and dislikes: I love children, animals and books. I like drawing, reading, all things medieval from food to warfare, attempting to write a novel, and attempting crosswords. family: I love my dog. She's the apple of my eye. I love my parents, however I'm not as close to my mother as I would like to be. values: I value honesty.-the hard truth is better than a pretty lie. I also value punctuality. I'll admit, I'm a bit too strict when it comes to this one. Kindness and patience are important, too. And give me a rainy day over a sunny one any time ![]() That's basically me... my alters are another story. Thank you for this thread, Webgoji. By typing out a response here, I realised a few things about myself ![]() Last edited by Anonymous327501; May 22, 2015 at 07:02 AM. Reason: Poor grammar |

Thanks for the great thread!
As for me, I'm extremely open-minded, but I have very little intelligence and creativity, and that's my biggest problem, but I do have a good memory. I tend to love and care beyond compare (RHYME ![]() I really hate texting, it's my ultimate pain, but I'm alright with normal messages or e-mails. I have only one tangible friend whom I think I'll get over after graduation for some reason. I'm definitely a loner, not because I have been mistreated, which I was, but because I like to. I'm still working on my positives, because for now, I really can't find any! |

Right now I'm a nervous wreck that avoids everything. I'm a chronic worrier. But I'm also loyal, punctual, organized and reliable. When I'm not depressed I'm outgoing and friendly. I love to talk.
I have a wonderful daughter that I would do anything for. I have two dogs that keep me grounded. I love to do crafts of many kind, especially quilting. I used to draw a lot but my hand tremors are too bad for that now. Best wishes, Gayle Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi, I'm Simon-or rather, i'd like to be addressed as so.. I'm a very small person, with a big Imagination. At least,I think so. I'm very open minded, and accepting of a lot of things that others seem to not be.
I also tend to be a very Cautious person. I do not trust people at first. I'm stubborn and I'm afraid of many,many things. I'm very introverted with people i don't know well/don't trust, always quiet and holding my tongue even if i have something to say. when i am with people i trust i can only really describe myself as bizarre and relaxed, even though with the people i enjoy i seem anything but. (loud, maybe even a little hyper...?) I love my family and wish they knew how much i love them, but i'm so terrible at showing it, and i always seem to want to be with friends more. I like drawing, reading, dressing up in costumes and hanging out with my friends. I wouldn't exactly know, that was the best attempt i could come up with with positively describing myself. thanks !

I'm indescribable ! but I'm gonna give it a try ...
I'll start off describing my name: bbTofu, it derives from me being a vegan and my love to the Blues music and as you know the king of the blues, BB.King, also my name starts with the letter B, so.. yeah. I'm 26 years old, second year BSW (Social work) student, and I both love&hate that I'm in this profession. I grew up as a single child with a single mom, I'm single and always been single except up to 1 month relationships when I was a teenager. I'm an Aries ! Everything that is happening, is happening big time, constantly boiling in high temperature (loving myself for this description). Why I mention my Sun Sign ? I've learnt that all the different paths I got myself on are ways for exploring my inner-self, seeking something deeper, peeling layers to have a better understanding of myself, may it be learning psychology, going to India pursuing spirituality, accumulating memories and experiences, new hobbies, letting go. Astrology interests me today a lot. I'm vegan for 3 years now, been a vegan activist for a year except that in recent months I decreased my activism for my own well-being because it began to affect me very negatively, affecting my studies and ruining my relationships with Family and friends. I don't attend family holiday meals because of that. Veganism is a really big change in my life, it changed a lot of my values, moral judgement and so on. People referred themselves being introverts/extroverts, I wouldn't know what I am. if I would take some Jungian online tests at different days, I'd get different results. Usually, I'm extroverted guy. Being around people and also being dominant feels very natural to me. There are times where I hate being alone, but there is a reason I'm alone; sometimes I hate being around people, when I'm sad or bit depressed, I don't want to see people "What's the point of meeting him/her ? it's pointless". I love playing guitar, I'm a self-study and this is a big achievement for me as this is probably one of the only things I've "finished" in my life and didn't stop when I got bit hard. I love the nature, I love the earth, I love animals (I have a lovely friend Golden Retriever). I hate insects, I'm terrified by them. I have arachnophobia despite grandiose trials (that failed) of facing this fear in India. I love movies and tv shows, I'm easily touched, I'm a crybaby when I'm watching dramas alone. I fall in love too easily, and I love that ! I don't fall into any girl but once I meet a girl that seems like the girl for me, omg! Although, I'm very unsuccessful when it comes to girls. I'm very inhibited, low confidence, always over-thinking because of my fears that are probably rooted deep inside my childhood experiences or whatever. I think I crave intimacy, with everything that I come in touch with and that ignites me and interests me (not necessarily sexually); nature, music, friends, girls(romance) etc. I'm often misunderstood by people because they get to see one-part of me and when they get to see other parts of me, they're getting confused haha. Sometimes I'm all laid back, chilly, and sometimes I'm like "LETSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GO!@#()U*As)du" People also often say I undervalue myself. I hate people saying "it'll be okay", "we all got moods", "You should have.." although I know that what lays beneath the saying is they're able to contain anything out of the 'OKAY' boundaries. I almost always hate hearing "you should have done that like this..." - unless I really see this advice (i.e in practicum/studies/guitar learning). I hate duties and boundaries, but I've learnt that I need them because otherwise I'd get lost and not necessarily in a good way. I'm super disorganized, often late to appointments, sometimes forget I have them, but somehow I have this charmingly magic way to make people accept it and adore it as a part of what makes me 'ME' ~ otherwise I'd get fired and kicked out of all jobs and meetings etc... ![]() I've never read a book from beginning to end in my life, I always read 1/2 of it and that's it. Realizing how much I wrote ... I guess I'm not all that indescribable uhhhh ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I like to think my BP has been a blessing. While I don't specifically "embrace" it, I accept it and go from there.
I'd describe myself as quirky and independent. I don't own a cellphone. No one wants to call me anyway. I don't like following the crowd and do my own thing. I don't care what people think of me which makes me come across as arrogant. I function well when people leave me alone but I can be very engaging when the mood moves me. I am often a gentle soul and believe in the Butterfly Effect. I don't like killing things that don't threaten me. I'm not afraid of spiders, snakes, or the dark......I'm afraid of failure. I am self-confident but I'm also self-destructive. I really don't have any friends. BP has cost me my friendships. I can be unpredictable with my moods but I am improving. I spend too much time planning things like an escape or a Plan B. I can be a jerk on a regular basis. I am regretful of many things I have done and choices I have made in my life but I am moving on, all full of sunshine and lollipops. |

I mean well, but it's only a matter of time before my compromised sense of humor gets me bounced from this forum like a boob... start your watches.

I live up to my zodiac sign (Libra). I can be sociable, manipulative, demand center of attention or all of the opposite. I tend to be a deep thinker and think of ways to compromise differences. And yes, at times I can be a real A-Hole too

I am "32 flavors and then some, beyond your peripheral vision so you might have to turn your head" LOL
This is really what i am like though. (at least in my mind) u really can't put your finger on who i really am and neither can I.. I also pick up on other's personalities and can usually tell by the look on your face or the type of person you are, what you are thinking about me, and that you are probably disillusioned in some way. I am Kind though, and usually very careful what i say but can also think outside the box and usually root for the underdog. I am a born again Christian for the first time in my life at 31 years of age even though i was raised atheist and come from the "hippy" home base.. San Francisco, California, these people are very left-winged and way more into New Age stuff like Karma and organic foods. That has been me in the past. but I need to be real with myself. I want to be forgiven for past mistakes, and not let them haunt me in the forms of "karma" type ideas. I am an individualist and sometimes when you spring from a town of "eccentric hippys" this personality trait can actually make a person seem More normal to the outside world. but i am in NO WAY normal either, hence the song, 32 flavors and then some. I am creative, out-spoken, shy, weird.. and i have very low self esteem but that doesn't stop me from trying things out anyway and just being myself that's me!

About bugs.. pest
I killed a lot of flies yesterday. I'd like to think that I didn't kill any relatives of the ones that's still alive. It's not even a butterfly effect, it's not that far fetched. And we also got the Karma the one we think as in a general sense. I do what I can, I let 'em go into the wild and who knows, maybe a second later, a big scary bird will get them. Such is a life for any of us. ![]() To Raid them or not... they are sometimes a lot smarter than us, hive mind and all that stuff. ETA: I got a couple of spidies living right out side of my doors. They can stay. When I come home to this lonely place from work, I talk to them. I don't know if it's their bed time or not, do they sleep walk? They are pretty active around the midnight, one thing they shouldn't do though is to dangle right in front of my face to play with me. Is this me describing myself in an odd way?...

Most people consider me to be a likeable a-hole, who always has something rude and ridiculous to say. I like to think of myself as a quick-witted dimwit who specializes in sarcasm and have interests that appeal to people with an IQ struggling to reach room temperature.
I'm creative, but self-conscious about my abilities. I'm proficient at writing code for multiple web programming languages, yet struggle to follow the most basic of baking recipes. My best dish is charcoal served with a side of fire. I am a master at turning the most innocent of phrases into sexual innuendo, and spend far too much time pelvic thrusting and making suggestive gestures around my home, much to the amusement and exasperation of my long-time girlfriend. I listen to loud, angry music, watch angry, violent movies, and have the eating speed and table manners of the Tasmanian Devil. I am a craft beer connoisseur and refuse to be seen in public, or even in private, with anyone sipping from a can or bottle with the word "Lite" on the label. When confronted with a situation that may cause discomfort, I'll avoid it, like someone who hates children avoids answering the door at Halloween. I also hate children, mostly because they are walking booger factories who drool, mumble incoherently cry and poop themselves, yet when I do the same thing I'm asked to get off the bus. Despite being very closed-minded and judgemental earlier in life, I've become much more open-minded and so accepting since I've gotten older. Mostly. That said, I still mourn the time when having your skin covered in tattoos meant you were probably a deranged psychopath, instead of a bored housewife wanting to show appreciation for her pooch Mr. Piddlesworth by having nautical stars inked on her shoulders. I am a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, stuffed with bacon, coated with cheese, with a side of ranch dressing and despair. I'm also nearing 40 and find farts to be even funnier now than when I was 4. |
