Who Are You To Other People?

[TheAceTheOne]

Or, rather, what are you to most other people? I've found I've been asking myself this simple question.

"Who am I to other people?"

The answers have varied, but I generally find that, to other people, I'm either an annoyance, a bothersome and hyperactive music producer, an unbearably energetic college student, or a source of hope, an advice fountain, and a highly humanistic, dependable friend. I don't ask out of any real social reason. I could care less what other people see me as.

What about you? What do you see yourself as?

All in all I'm just a-nother brick in the wall...

I don't think the question in the title really matters, I mean everybody I know seems to think of me in completely different ways, I know some people who think I'm a criminal and have called the cops on me, and my nephews are convinced that I'm a super-hero just because of something I once did, while some people think I'm fearless, others think I'm an idiot and others think I'm really smart, so who really knows what people think of you, heck just a couple of months ago I was convinced that some family members hated me because of how they had been treating me, and when I was at the door about to knock I overheard them having a conversation about me and they were speaking about how good I am, telling stories of cool things I've done, so yeah it's really hard too tell what people actually think about you.

As for how I see myself, well though I seem to give a vibe of gloom with my complete lack of a smile and inability to laugh and overall seeming lack of sense of humour, well I'm actually a rather upbeat energetic person who's willing to push himself to his limits and has a very strong moral compass, which tends to get me in trouble due to my inability to care about danger, but I'd say overall I quite a nice person but come off as rather bitter and tired.

Sometimes I just feel like nothing important to anyone. A friend spoken to occasionally for some. Or friend who's a nuisance. Son who doesn't work hard enough. Brother who's a stick in the mud.

I dunno, I can't really see much positive right now. I'll probably feel better in the morning, but... I still don't think I would think of much positive, just less negative.

Bad I assume, anyway can you really not think about positive qualities about yourself right now?
Because I'm pretty sure it'd be easy to think of some, like how you seem to be very rational and and articulate about what you talk, and you tend to come off as rather passionate when defending you're point, and this is something a random person on the Internet can spot, so it must really not be that bad, though I guess it's how you look at it and sometimes everything looks bad, I hate those days but then again I don't think anybody likes them.

I guess other people (like my co workers from work) probably view me as an quiet guy but friendly and got some potiental especially in my uncle eyes (he's into computers which I had help him in some of his work in the past), however my friend obviously view me to be a good friend and etc.

to the people who actually know my existance...

somthing....to be protected...in a way

 

[Vault101]

Protected?

Like... "Cover her eyes, there's spoilers there!"? =P

yeah....in a way

no, I mean like I think alot of my life Ive come across as somthing of a delicate flower..more or less

Well to my brother I am his `best sister` (sometimes, I'm sure he says the same to the other two!), because I play games with him and I practically raised the little bugger.

One of my college friends called me `the nicest person she'd ever met`, but that was a few years ago when I was a bit less cynical.

I can be a right stubborn cow on the internet, though.

To my parents, I'm judgemental, apparently. I guess that's true but I'm still right about what I'm `judging` them for.

do something badass and wow everyone.

And im not sure if people avoid me or if its the other way around. Stuck with the same group of pals for nearly a decade now...

who needs friends when you have the internet right?

 

[Broady Brio]

The 'cute' one. You would think this would have some advantages no? But people on insist on keeping in me in the dark if said stuff could hurt me. It also really angers me when people get into relationships, however short they are and then, have the balls to lie to me saying I am cute, don't worry about it. I don't claim to be ugly, but I don't think I'm physically attractive as they say.

Never fear Vault for my shiny armour and white steed shall protect thee.

Seriously, take the shiny armour it's cluttering my house and the horse keeps shitting in my garden.

On Topic....

This is where indifference really comes into play.

To my friends i'm a friend. To my wife i'm a loving (albeit not very romantic) husband. To the blokes I spent my army career with i'm a shouty bastard that got the job done. To my family i'm a son, brother, nephew, cousin, uncle, dad and all round great guy.

To everyone else ... zero fucks are given on how they see me.

The only people who's opinion even remotely matters to me is my wife and kids.

While i've known my friends since I was 3 I still don't care how they see me, I don't have to live with them.

Reflection: your Awesome

Seriously thou, i think people like me because im some what funny and a good friend

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

A person once described me as "mad and angry at the world" but I don't think I am, I'm more cautiously optimistic...

I've also been mistaken for a drug addict at the blood bank. I wasn't even there for a drug test, It was a blood test and it was six in the morning. I was sleepy but apparently the lab tech mistook my sleepiness for drugged up.

Everybody else describes me as quiet.

Your posts are one of the few things that cheer me up, so even though I'm no one I consider you pretty important. If you left this forum it would instantly become significantly shittier.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I can never be sure how people actually perceive me, so I don't really know what I am to the people around me.

I'm a son and a brother, I guess.
