Who are you?

[Da Chi]

This is a question that's hard to answer. You can list off your interests, you can talk about your job, what you do, where you have been. But it all just scratches the surface of who you are.
I once wrote a story about some of my experiences. What I was thinking and how I reacted. It revealed much more of what was happening under the surface that is me. But when other people tell a story it's not the same.

So, The Escapist, I want you all to find an interesting way to answer the quesion "Who are you?"
Don't be shy, I don't judge.

 

[NeutralDrow]

I'm...just this guy, you know?

 

[DMonkey]

I'm Batman

 

[Da Chi]

High five!

 

[Sneaky-Pie]

I am a part of all that I have met.

Damn it, I wanted to do "I am Iron Man" but you took that from me.

Oh, I got another one:
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

On the outside, as to what most of my friends see, I'm a lively, hilarious person that can get nearly anyone to laugh. Sure I may be an asshole at times, but it's all in good humor. But underneath, I'm a tired, self-conscious person who sees every little mistake or flaw about me and blows it out of proportion.

I was supposed to go on a date with a girl I liked a few years back. I finally had gotten up the courage to ask her, and she said, "yes." First time I ever heard those words following the specific question. Of course I was outrageously happy. We texted, and we finally were going to see a movie. I got there first and waited for her. Around the time of the showing, she still wasn't there. I got a text from her saying how she wouldn't actually go on a date with me, and of course other generic insults. Kind of felt like I died inside. The day after was no better. Everyone heard about it, but no one did anything. I would've preferred verbal mockery over silence and constant staring.

I'm a truly complex individual who's true feelings are hidden behind a mask of shame trying to make up for his past. I've never truly wanted to do anything I've done, and I regret almost every step I've taken throughout my life. Every day I wake up and hate the life I lead, but I do nothing to change it because I am truly terrified of change. I struggle through another meaningless day in my menial life, doing menial tasks for menial rewards. It's a constant struggle just to keep my sanity. I lie about being so happy only to try and force myself to believe it, because I truly hate everything that I am. But, like the rest of the world, I suck it up and out on my happy mask to go out and attempt to justify every decision I make throughout the day with some hopeless idea that it'll mean something or their's a greater plan for me. It's difficult for me to truly understand why I do the things I do since I hate them so much, but I counter that with drowning the thoughts out with vices of mine. Sex, loud music, TV, meaningless relationships. Everything in my life has led people to believe I am something great or someone to look up to, when in reality I just project my fears onto other people and blame them for my faults. In short, I am my father. And I hate it.

 

[Jedoro]

I am the result of a unique combination of my mother and father's DNA, forged by my life experiences into the even more unique person that I am today. I also happen to be a bad ************ [http://www.bmfwallets.com/wallets.htm#embroidered], and I won't stop mentioning that until I somehow lose my wallet and can't replace it.

I love that speech, but for the topic I am a troubled lover putting the best interest of a very pretty lady before my own.

Damn. Just damn.

I guess you've seen her true character then, eh? Sounds like you dodged a bullet.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm just a girl.

I like make-up and fashion and dancing and boys with fast cars.

But I also like video games, industrial music, and smoking cigars.

There is that.

Edit: Just now realized that rhymed. Awesoooooooooooooome.

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

I'm your soulmate, TC. You know it's true.

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

I am sadness, shot through with the insanity of laughter.

I am the practical view of the situation at hand, not the contemplation of what might have been.

I am the survivor.

I have never known priviledge, but rarely envy the blessed. For luck is made, not found.

I am... me. 23, female, chef, girlfriend, lover of dogs, bipolar, poor, middle-class and Australian. And slightly poetic, when the mood takes me

 

[Mikeyfell]

last year (senior year of high school) the teacher went around the room and asked us to describe ourselves in 1 word
and after hearing "Witty" "Funny" and "Clever" ten million times it was finally my turn and I said "Harrison"
(that's my first name)
half the class didn't get it and the other half said I stole their idea.

That is a hard question, mostly because the more you think about it the more your answer changes.
you can get a much better assessment of someone's personality by watching them with binoculars from a van parked in front of their house.....
but I think I've said to much.

 

[strum4h]

I am nobody to anyone but myself.

 

[Zirat]

Im nothing really important, kind of dull really.

Male, currently 17, on the outside constantly quiet and have been told to give off the vibe of smug inteligence even though its not intentional. I constantly second-guess myself (can be seen though my constant edits to even old posts on this site) and somewhat self-loathing, major confidence issues and beat myself up over any little thing. Has trouble making decisions and can barely speak to others, considered a potential hazard due to my anti-social behaviors.

I really dont want to bore you with this but it feels kinda good to vent it.

 

[Gurk]

Who am I?

I don't think I can really sum myself up. I used to have a pretty good idea of who I was, but the murder of one of my family members last year warped my life entirely. All I really know is, I'm extremely loyal and I just want to make my family happy.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

I'm just the sort of person who is very proud to have a Blood Dragon from Dragon Age as his Firefox Persona and spent his Saturday playing Viva Piñata and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 and watching half a season of Battlestar Galactica.
