How do you perceive yourself?

I know we've said how other perceive you before, but what do you think about yourself...a critical self-analysis.

physical-"A rose will bloom, it then will fade. So does a youth, so does the fairest maid." BOO HOO!

Personality-Witty, sarcastic, passionate, emotional, righteous (not self-righteous)

Flaws-I HOLD GRUDGES, over analyze, competative, compulsive

Strengths-competative, defender of the weak, charitable, spiritual-but not in the conventional organized way.

Most of the people who come to my funeral will be friends of my children.

The one word to best describe the fiber of me and my life is passion.

AOPiLaLa · #3 10-12-2001, 10:44 AM

Personality--cheerful, bubbly, energetic,compassionate, warm

Strengths-I follow through on my promises and I know when to fight and when to retreat

Weaknesses--I over analize, I take things way to personally, and sometimes I believe in people to much

I guess the one word for me is family, but I believe in many different kinds of family. I am nothing without them and I firmly believe that the right kind of support group can get you through anything!

Physical-weenie

Personality-dual natured: sweet or bitchy, shy or outgoing, easy or difficult, liberal or conservative, etc. Changes like the weather.

Strengths-understanding, curious, adventurous, determined, funny, perceptive (not in all ways), flexible, bold, has a good eye, loyal, punctual, spontaneous, keep emotions (crying) in check, sees the "big picture", also defender for the underdog/weak (sometimes even if the bonehead got oneself there)

Weakness-TOO understanding, TOO curious, TOO determined, obsessive-compulsive, anxious, misses the "fine print", inconsistant energy level (sleeping all day or bouncing off the walls), over-analytical, moody, impulsive, inconsistant attention span (30 seconds or three hours).

Kevin · #9 07-21-2002, 10:33 AM

Physical -- Not all to happy with my current situation. Too much time on GC, not enough time with physical activity... Although since the Summer has begun I found I lost two inches when I was getting measured for a new suit. Taking weightlifting next semester so maybe that'll help me get back in shape.

Personality -- if you don't know me, you'd probably think I was strictly business oriented... Get things done, take charge, take care of business. If you know me well, you'll find I'm actually pretty creative, I have a pretty wild side and can actually be pretty damned fun to be around.

Strengths -- Objective, I'm very good at looking at things objectively, seeing both sides and being rational about everything (sometimes too much so according to my girlfriend). Analytical.

Weaknesses -- addressed this already... If you just know me casually I guess I put on some sort of a front because you think that all I care about is excellence, etc... Most think I have no feelings (which I never reveal my emotions and I guess that's bad).. I've also got about the worst case of ADD you'll ever see. It effects me in all the facets of my lief. I can't focus on one thing for very long at all. I'm the proverbial jack of all trades but master at none.

This is another one of those good threads.

ktsnake-you appear to be handling yourself QUITE impressively as it is reflected in your recent posts.

It's funny, but a lot of the qualities you guys lists, I can see shades of in your respective posts. I think maybe we are too hard on ourselves, because honestly, your strengths seem to shine through and some of the chracteristics you think are negative are really endearing.

6' 2 " 185 lb, coal black wavy hair, Cobalt blue eyes!

Fearless, inovative, and inventive! Computor Smart but not to a point of nerdism.

Mechenically inclined, not challenged, by brain or hand!

Soft spoken but a little hot headed, one who listens and speaks ones mind.

About 35 ish.

Well, the eyes are right but when I look in the mirror, it all goes to Sh&^!

When I shave in the morning, I dont look at myself for fear of slitting my throat!

How can women feel this way when they shave the legs and armpits?

Oh my god, the ice shelf is falling out of the freezer from defrost and I must end this wonderful message!

Most of you missed it but this is my what ever post! My one that I wanted to post impotantly was lost on Mod Thread!

I wanted it to be impotent! Well on the regular threads!

Physically: I have long blonde hair, hazel/green eyes, I am petite, but I have curves. I am not the ugliest girl alive, but there are prettier than I!

Personality: I am very generous- if I can help you I will. I love meeting new people and I like learning. I am either on GO or OFF but there isn't much in between. I am also very honest.

Flaws: I sometimes say things I shouldn't (i put my foot in my mouth some) since I am honest. And my parents and exboyfriend all say that I try to do too much for my friends to the point that it hurts me even.

Strengths- I am very compassionate and understanding, so I am good at helping my friends through tough times.

shadokat · #13 07-25-2002, 11:03 PM

Physical: I'd love my HS stomach back too!!! But being as my 10 year reunion is this year, I'm entitled to the 10 lbs I gained since then. Light brown hair with blonde highlights, hazel eyes, 5'7". Used to be a redhead, but you need a change now and then, much to James's chagrin!

Personality: Ambitious, smart, outgoing, slightly bitchy, sometimes insecure, always up for a good time!

Strengths: Smart, can find the humor in anything, tell it like it is, not afraid to take a risk to get what I want

Weaknesses: Take too much on at one time, take things way too personally sometimes, speak before I think, judgemental at times, intolerant of stupidity, sometimes bitchy!

pbpck · #14 07-26-2002, 12:29 AM

Physically- Capable of keeping up with the incredibly active kids I am babysitting! I don’t gain or lose weight easily. It’s really hard to assess one’s self physically. I am pretty used to myself and work with what I’ve got basically.

Personality- I’m an intense presence, passionate. I feed off other people’s energy in social situations. For some reason everyone I met at college tells me I remind them of their best friend from home. I consider that a pretty swell compliment. I am eclectic but am staunch in convictions. My source of energy and sanity is questioned daily as I am perpetually inspired.

Strengths- I can make anyone feel like family. Compassionate and charismatic.

Weaknesses- I over analyze everything. I am self critical. I tend to be easily annoyed and when I am annoyed, I shut off. I manipulate my emotions so as to not get hurt. I tend to think short term financially. I will blow a CD on a semester abroad and worry about next fall’s tuition next summer. I am always right. I can be a spaz.

Physical: 5'3" with long, straight brown hair and dark eyes, long lashes and a pouty mouth. Smaller chested and bigger waisted than I'd like, but I'm working on the latter.

Personality: Outgoing, talkative, definitely a Leo: I like to be the center of attention and I'm very ambitious. In personal situations judge first with my heart and sometimes completely ignore my mind. This often gets me into trouble. I work things through aloud and on the surface; I am not at all self-contained. Everyone knows what I'm feeling. I'm excellent at keeping other people's secrets, but I can't seem to keep my own. I have an internal "fairness" meter and an internal "sincerity" meter. Those two things are incredibly important to me when interacting with other people. I can be extremely goofy and giddy. I'm quick-witted and I love to make people laugh.

Strengths: I take a genuine interest in getting to know people. I care about them. I am very passionate about the things that I care about. I am fiercly loyal and brutally honest. I take pride in things that I do well. Love is my driving force. I want to teach and I want to learn, so I look upon every new person that I meet as an opportunity to exchange valuable insight. I have a great memory. I do my best to keep an open mind in all new situations.

Weaknesses: I want to be noticed and paid attention to. I tend to monopolize conversation. I can be very emotional and moody. I take things very personally. I tend to scare people off 'cuz I don't hide anything about myself. I'm lazier than I let on; I want to be good at stuff, but I don't necessarily want to work for it. I sometimes use people without realizing it until after the fact. I get jealous rather easily. I'm very territorial. I'm a control freak and have a hard time letting go of things.
