Your opinion on yourself

[thegamermn]

I view myself as slightly insane, I tend to babble too much and talk too much in general, I annoy people rather frequently, and I get distracted very ea--hey, what's that! *looks off into space*

 

[Marik2]

I love myself unconditionally and consider myself of higher quality than most people in my town.

so, a typical teenager?

I guess. Maybe where you live. I live in a town where most people are arrogant douchebags who spit on sensitive people like me, so I consider myself above them.

Where do you live? If you don't mind me asking.

I'm an awfully contradictory fellow, really.

I'm full of fail, but I can clearly trace my failings to various flaws in society at large, so apparently my failures are because I'm more awesome than society can handle.

I used to believe being a target for snide remarks meant that there was something wrong with me. Later, I figured out that it's because they can't understand me because I'm on a whole other level.

I humored the accusation that I'm a giant, arrogant prick... but under close logical evaluation that seem to pan out, so I guess I'll just have to humbly accept that it's the fate of free thinkers to be hated by idiots.

Granted, I am a terrible procrastinator, and that explains my presence here... nobody's perfect, I suppose. (But then, what is perfection, if not an arbitrary label?)

I'm a ridiculous egotist who clearly has underlying insecurity issues given my constant desire to mentally measure up and beat anyone I meet on some level. I find it very difficult to compromise, which means I am both honest and a man of moral and intellectual principle but also selfish and a poor friend to others. It also means I don't hide or repress emotions, so I can be very angry and unpleasantly harsh if I'm in a bad mood, or the opposite in a good mood. I am terrified of sexual rejection which fuels a cycle of fear and insecurity. I'm an arrogant elitist who has little to no interest in the opinions of anyone who I consider unintelligent or radically different in principle to myself.

I very rarely read this forum because I consider the majority of its members to be idiotic teenage geeks with predictable, flawed and wrong-headed opinions, despite the fact I committed most of the same mistakes when I went through my own teenage gamer phase.

I suppose I have my good points too. There's that whole morally principled and honest to myself thing: I don't lie, act fake, compromise for the approval of others or tolerate what I believe is wrong for material benefits. I quit my job this week for moral reasons, when I'm hardly swimming in spare cash. I'm smart: my visual/mathematical skills are well above average but my real intelligence lies in verbal information, the arts and logical debate. I believe myself to be a talented writer, although far from the finished article. I am capable of making just about anyone laugh if I want to, and I have no trouble making friends so I can't be the complete monster I've just portrayed myself as.

I'm just going to ignore any other posts here just because I'm lazy and don't feel like reading about a bunch of rejects =P haha. But in all seriousness, I'm really lazy.

So myself. I'm a smart guy. That's not me being cocky or anything, I'm smart. I'm athletic, and weirdly so. I'm a tall wiry guy, six foot, 145 lbs, so I can't say I'm super strong or anything, but I'm bloody fast and can move really well (All-Conference goalkeeper in soccer after starting playing that position just two years ago). I spend too much time procrastinating be it on the computer, outside or in my basement either making some random contraption or playing Xbox. That's something else; I'm creative. I like to just do anything with my hands or my mind, regardless of topic. If it's writing, math, or making something, I just like to be puzzled or challenged. I'm a weird quirky guy and I understand that. I have a really strong moral code and I stand by that at any cost. My morals aren't always what most people see as right, but I know what I believe and I stand by that. I'm exceptionally hyper and am diagnosed and medicated for and with ADHD, not a misdiagnosis either guys. I'm involved in a lot of stuff and my interests span a broad range, from sports to computers and drama to camping and backpacking. I'm a nice guy, don't like being angry and try to sort things out in a really logical way, sometimes too logical. Now I've realized I'm just rambling, so PEACE.

It's strange that in our society the most percieved as normal are percieved in the most abnormal way. The brightest, smartest and most charasmatic are placed on a pedistal and admired for their display of quintessentially human traits and theirfor success...normal. It's when they are seen as making mistakes, like everyone does, that they are cast aside and seen as abnormal...like the rest of us.

 

[relish]

Low self esteem so ... yeah. :"(

 

[skyfire_freckles]

I suck. Nightly.

 

[kingpin44]

people keep telling me im a really nice person...thats not true though, i usually feel like stabbing them to death for no apparent reason. (especially when they tell me im nice). i find that im also just a bit unhinged and a little sadistic

The way I see it, if they were really the brightest or smartest, they probably wouldn't have been placed on a pedestal.

People prefer somebody they can relate to, somebody they can control, somebody who acts in accordance to set standards, never talking back, perhaps specializing in some monotonous field because nobody else would: that's our definition of "genius" in society, formidable tools whose capability to be handy problem solvers makes them quite useful.

True genius is volatile thing. The other side of the same coin is insanity. They generally end up getting scorned, swept under the carpet, unless perhaps they produce an exceptional artifact. Like AC power [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla]. Even then, they're fairly likely to die a neglected recluse, eccentrics, whose sketchbooks may be wondered at only well after their time.

Note, I didn't mention charismatic - it's tricky business, charisma is a smart of sorts, so that's another thing entirely. The thing I don't like about charismatic geniuses is they're generally quite crooked. There's a lot of harm to be wrought in influencing impressionable masses, because you've a knack for it, but necessarily the wisdom to know what to get them to do.

 

[Deadpewl]

Im unorganized, I daydream too much, Im forgetful and Im lazy. I'm funny except when I'm not, and I always smile when I talk unless something is annoying me. I tend to find humor in everything I had to keep myself from laughing at my Uncle's funeral, I cant remember what for).I'm very smart but sometimes I fail to show it because of how forgetful I am (I tend to forget facts right when I need them most and then remember them right afterwards). I hate being bored and tend to only hang around people who can entertain me in some way and try to do things in interesting ways. I tend to be quiet around people I don't know until I figure them out.

 

[Aura Guardian]

I am far too modest.

 

[Charli]

My opinion on myself? Why certainly.

I AM ERROR.

'-'

 

[ender003]

I suck at life.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Nearly useless but very entertaining.

Ah so perfection and normalicy are not percieved as the same thing in a societal way? Better is actually not better. Limelight is a bad thing. Genious is a negative thing? 'zat what you mean? (could be right, I just dont get what you mean)

 

[NoNameMcgee]

I'm an alright kinda person.. I'd have a drink with me.. hit on me.. Maybe take me home for some luvin', ya know. But I'm nothing special really.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that "genius," like any other word, is a label we apply to things that we feel match the description. However, lacking the means to see beyond our own perception of these things to the heart of the thing being labeled, any such application of labels is an arbitrary judgment that can only be done at face value.

What we label genius, we do not refer to the power of a mind because we cannot witness it, instead we refer to a capability to solve our problems.

What we label perfection, we can not refer to perfection because it does not exist, but rather traits which we consider to be perfect - noticeably unblemished skin, the capability to produce flawless results (regardless of how protracted the process to produce them may have been).

What we label normal is just as ambiguous as what we would label perfect on the grounds that you are seeing the nonexistent in others.

When it comes to fame, it very much an observable trait: how many people know of this person? However, is fame a trait of merit? Exactly what did Paris Hilton do to garner her fame? Or Jack the Ripper? I don't like the limelight, it's nothing of merit: it's mass hysteria.

 

[Joos]

You would like me; I'm awesome.

 

[Uilleand]

I am a safe person to be around - in a lot of respects. There is very little that can make me judge a person harshly, and people tend to trust me with their secrets and their pain, because I won't ever look down on them.
I come across as a big, loud, brassy blonde - quite obnoxious - but one of my biggest fears is making other people uncomfortable.
I am disgustingly happy and spoiled in my marriage after a lifetime of kissing just plain old frogs. I am secure in my dorkishness and accept my own obsessive personality.
I am also lazy, envious, and hold grudges to the end of time if pushed far enough.
