    Default What's your most defining characteristic?

    Let's talk about ourselves because I like listening [and reading] to people talk about themselves LoL. I think that some people do not have an accurate assessment of their outer image. Conversely, others are very aware and know how others perceive them. So what are your most defining personality and/or physical characteristics? Do people ever tell you otherwise? Do they surprise you?

    I'll start with personality: sense of humor. If you know me, then you know I love to laugh. Others tell me that it's my friendliness. I would not ever define myself as a friendly person though.

    Physically, I'm 5ft tall. While there are others who are smaller or more petite than I am, but my physical stature, more often than not, makes me feel vulnerable. Others though said it's my eyes and lips....not necessarily in a good way. I've been told that people often feel compelled to answer me honestly when I focus my eyes on them. Hm. It's not like a don't blink when I talk or anything...for lips, I don't know.

    Am I highly aware of what others think of me? I honestly don't know, but I'm more in touch with the personality aspect VS the physical aspect it seems.

    And y'all? Please share. I love to hear about how others "have no idea" like I do.
    I like me.

    personality: very direct; confrontational. some ppl laugh when i say something mean because they think i'm joking when it's actually just the truth weird, random.

    appearance: intimidating if i dont know you; which is true. i don't really make eye contact or smile if i don't know you which makes me seem very unfriendly && snobby (but i'm super friendly!). i'm working on this though.
    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

    appearances: im a fan of lolita-dressing, and i dressed up every sunday mass; so many people in church probably knew me by "the girl with an unusual fashion sense" before knowing who i really am. if im not in those sort of dresses im at least in the less than normal attire (or what most people tell me)

    personality: i dont know..i get a variety of feedback...but i like to think im kind, gentle, approachable, utterly cute....and HUMBLE.

    The only thing I need to know is that I don't know anything.

    does that include me? i really find it funny when you cuss because i seem to be able to visual you doing that.

    I love to laugh too! considerably cheerful, often clown around, dislike the idea of taking advantage of characters I perceived as weak.

    I'm often observing people around me. It takes me awhile to open up and be friendly to people who approach me. I take friendship seriously and will try my best to be there for someone whom I claimed as a good friend.
    What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!

    I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?

    Why don't you girls post up a couple of 5 years old photos of yourselves and rename this thread "Internet dating"?

    Since you suggested, why don't you start? And Lucre has an excellent excellent point.

    Oh, and you didn't post of up defining characteristics...though I could help you think of some descriptive words if you want me to.
    I like me.

    Personality: I'm apparently very nice. Someone from my work place told me that one of the things he noticed first about me was how nice I am. I was quite surprised to be honest. This is also because some people thought of me as arrogant.

    Appearance: No idea. I guess I like my general figure and legs. My hair is also pretty.
    Because I'm somewhere in between,
    My love and my agony.

    Keep your glasses on, never switch to contact lens. The glasses are part of what makes you look so hot.

    What a comeback post I can pretty much imagine how you'd look like as a 5 year-old.

    I should also add this to my most most defining character - absent-minded.... oh, I forgot, some friends would describe me as - hothead beneath that calm exterior, which is very true. I can do inconceiveable things when I get angry.... such as slamming a chair on the person who is the root of my anger.

    Err, I mean photos that are 5 years old - since this thread is all about you people selling your supposedly best features to the Internet, it sounds too much like Internet dating. Might as well post up some old artistically enhanced, cleverly angled photos and say yes you really do look like that.

    I've also come to notice that you are very frank. HaHa!

    Firstly, don't encourage him. Secondly, WoW that's really mad! Seriously? Seriously? I guess it's always the people that you expect it the least from LoL.

    Don't worry, I knew what you meant. I just wasn't as impressed as Ceddy was. We're not selling our best features to the internet, some of us are just awesome to the very core.

    *refers to the line in bold* You could be right!

    That also means, I'm usually in jovial mode and only lose my temper when I felt the threat or injustice (most often) towards the people I hold dear.

    y'know, i sooooo agree with you. honesty does not equate 'selling'. oh ya, did i add that to my list of personality traits? *checks* apparently not, oh dear me....I guess I was too humble to make such a huge list.
