A Glimpse into your "self"
- Thread starter Gaze
- Start date
I'm inquisitive... but possibly annoyingly so.
I’m passionate… but I don’t consider it the most attractive, just the most essential.
I tend to disregard compliments.
I want to move away from the concept of having to trust in people and more toward the concept of trusting in myself to “navigate” people.

How would you describe yourself in one word or phrase?
In one word? Crazy.
In one phrase..... I am uncommon subtype of my kind.
What would you consider to be the most attractive aspect of your personality and why?
Probably an open nature towards others combined with an actual interest in what everyone has to say.
I'm also easily amused. There are very few boring people in the world to me. People appreciate being acknowledged as interesting, I think.
What is the most common complement you receive about yourself and how do you feel about that complement?
hmmm.... well, this isn't my favorite compliment, but the one I get most frequently (usually from strangers) is: you are so cute/other positive physical descriptor.
This is good I suppose? I don't mean to be unappreciative, and I know people are just trying to be nice, but "cute" is not really a compliment I appreciate very much.
I would prefer someone think of me as formidable before they thought of me as "cute."
It's actually frustrating. People discount me a lot initially at work or in classes that count. You might be shocked at the sheer number of times people have told me that they were surprised I was (insert: competent, professional, experienced, intelligent, serious, practical) just because I appeared, at first, as nothing but "cute."
I'm a person, not a ball of fluff.
What would be the one thing you would change about yourself if you could? And why?
I would choose to be a linguistic savant, capable of learning to speak, read, write, and comprehend any and all languages rapidly.

I am resilient. Definitely.
I would change my introversion, probably. I'd like to be a social, outgoing, warm person.

How would you describe yourself in one word or phrase?
Aware. So much that it hurts sometimes.
What would you consider to be the most attractive aspect of your personality and why?
Empathy. I seem to always be able to relate to someone on some level and establish a connection. When you understand the people around you, you can feel much more tolerance towards them and accept the differences.
What is the most common complement you receive about yourself and how do you feel about that complement?
Lively and fun to be with. I don't mind it, but it worries me that people sometimes may not understand or see that there can be a sad, tired, and a burdened Odyne.
What would be the one thing you would change about yourself if you could? And why?
I'd very much like to learn how to be more focused. I seem to disperse my attention to so many things/people at once. I think if I can focus on one thing, then I might accomplish something great. But then again, I get easily bored with one thing only.

Boring.
What would you consider to be the most attractive aspect of your personality and why?
I am an open-minded person. I consider this to be the most attractive aspect of my personality because being accepting is desirable. No one likes being persecuted by a closed mind and an unwilling to cooperate listener.
What is the most common complement you receive about yourself and how do you feel about that complement?
Things in regard to my physical appearance.
Usually about my legs, lips, or hair.
I feel that this is annoying.

Confusing
What would you consider to be the most attractive aspect of your personality and why?
Openness/accepting: I believe that there is beauty in many things.
What is the most common complement you receive about yourself and how do you feel about that complement?
Attractive/Pretty: I feel that since it hasn't gotten me much anywhere, it's only appreciated by my appreciation for aesthetics.
What would be the one thing you would change about yourself if you could? And why?
I'd like to be able to accomplish things... In my world, nothing is good enough for dedication, which is rather annoying.

A lost, detached soul searching for meaning. Capricious
My tendency to think before I say something, probably because I tend to be on a completely different wavelength from others, and I have a tendency to wake/shake people up when I don't go with the flow. It's also probably my most annoying and awkward trait to others.
Laid-back. I get this often when I don't take a strong stance in a situation, so I don't like it. I think it goes along with traits like blending in with the carpet.
I'm told that I have a great speaking voice pretty much every time I have to do a talk. I'd rather have a quieter, captivating demeanor overall because I'd prefer to be thought of as intense in a rather subtle way. I think the other traits I have that I want to change more can be changed rather easily with a little more awareness, so I wouldn't waste a wish on those if I had one for this purpose.
lol.. that would only be true if i was the only one to realize it, which i doubt =P (thanks though
How would you describe yourself in one word or phrase?
Totally awesome.
What would you consider to be the most attractive aspect of your personality and why?
The part where I have no fear of expressing exactly what I think and feel about any given thing. Even if it's completely offensive or off the wall, I can make people either come around to my point of view, or understand it to the point that they don't get offended. I get away with saying a lot.
What is the most common complement you receive about yourself and how do you feel about that complement?
Usually it's something about my physical appearance. Either my hair or my eyes. I don't mind. Otherwise, it's something about my personality and the way I express myself. People appreciate my honesty.
What would be the one thing you would change about yourself if you could? And why?
Hmm. Nothing. If at some point I feel something needs to change, then I'll change it and not have to worry about it. I don't have any pending changes. Just in progress ones.

Complex..
No idea.
Going by consensus of family, friends, and internet interactions..
Clever.
I don't have much feeling for it. Personally, I think it's an overstatement.
I would love to be more extroverted..
Seems like fun. I'd like to have an easier time of making friends.
Amicable
My confidence. I cant think of anything else attractive about it, thats why.
That I'm funny. I feel this way about it: Big Deal.
I would make myself more approachable. I think there is something about me that is off putting before I open my mouth but I cant put my finger on it.

happy
What would you consider to be the most attractive aspect of your personality and why?
One guy told me that he liked how ambitious I was. He said this as I stabbed a scalpel into the frog we were dissecting. So I guess my knowing what I like, what I don't.
What is the most common complement you receive about yourself and how do you feel about that complement?
Sense of humor. Sometimes intentional, mostly not. haha
What would be the one thing you would change about yourself if you could? And why?
I'd like to be more open when talking to my friends. Whenever I share something, they're always eager and excited to hear me, but this is because I rarely share. I've been trying to share something about myself when someone shares to me. It's a process.

"I have never met anyone like you before"......its kinda hard to believe.
What would be the one thing you would change about yourself if you could? And why?
Im not sure...Maybe not feel so much. Maybe play with a healthy dose of T. so I dont have to feel so much when I make those hard choices.

All of the personality traits I wish to answer this question with seem less and less attractive and more like flaws as I'm considering them.
I am a very kind and open person, but perhaps I share too much of myself with others?
What is the most common complement you receive about yourself and how do you feel about that complement?
I think I just realized that I spend so much time trying to complement others that I don't actually realize when they've given me a compliment...
That, or the compliments vary so much that I haven't really recognized a common one? Or everyone hates me? But I know that's not true...
Many of the people I'm closer with tell me "You're a good friend" all the time... That makes me feel pretty good about my friends and our ships.
What would be the one thing you would change about yourself if you could? And why?
I wish I could better judge when is the wrong/right time to make certain sacrifices. Sometimes I get so hung up on making this decision that I kind of just... freeze. I want to not freeze and become a better decision maker so I can feel more confident in myself and allow this newfound confidence to radiate from within.
many thanks to the OP. this has been a wonderful journey for myself.
