How do people perceive you

[UnoriginalName21]

Okay so people think im annoying as fuck mostly because I use comedy as a coping mechanism and im not all that funny but they don't perceive me as necessarily depressed. In reality though I think about killing myself every day and struggle to get up in the morning. I wonder if this dichotomy is prevalent in other people or if im just weird

 

[wheelsonthebus]

Gotta get more funny I guess


Before resorting to committing suicide, perhaps try committing to the bit?
sorry I had to

 

[MissAbyss]

Yeah, here's another joker! I also use humor as a coping mechanism. The people who know me are used to it, but in the past, it was pretty awkward in front of psychologists and psychiatrists, they thought I was just messing around with them. As for how others see it, I guess some love it and some hate it. I honestly couldn't care less anymore.

This is why ive had 3 therapists quit on me lmao

some of the most depressed people are also the funniest - it's the trauma and all ;)

Opposite problem here! I keep being reminded the hard way that psychiatrists do NOT like jokes, and I don't just mean saying inappropriate or suicidal things. Like, anything. Even light humor. They think you're being deadass.

I love being perceived as a complete fucking clown because I can say whats actually going on in my head and people think im joking

What else do you expect from a bunch of pretentious c*nts. A good psychiatrist understands this and sees right through it. Unfortunately, there are few good ones.

Your not a clown, honestly.

 

[Nrocoop]

I'm very funny when my mood is elevated, but I can't replicate it with shrinks because usually they see me when I'm depressed and it's too much effort to play the clown. It's a good coping mechanism otherwise and occasionally lifts me out of trauma headspace and hypervigilance

 

[unevencompromise]

Some people used to think that I'm pretty inconvenient, which i don't disagree.

Yeah, I used to think that too, until people really started treating me like a complete idiot. Then I didn't find it so funny anymore. Now I'm trying to find a middle ground, but it's still difficult. What can I say, I just love humor.

I never use jokes to hurt others, it's always at my own expense.

I don't think you're weird. I had a similar experience back when I was a part of a friend group. I guess the best way to describe it was that I was a lolcow of sorts. I wasn't funny at all but I would just say/do outrageous shit for attention while I internally struggled over a self harm addiction, suicidal thoughts, and an eating disorder. It's kinda a bit cringe how I acted when I look back at it.

I remember one time I told them all that I had planned my funeral out and had an unofficial will and everything, and they just laughed it off. Probably should have been my hint to maybe take a step back from them but oh well.

 

[LastNite]

too quiet

 

[torturedmind]

People think I'm quiet and I've always been told that. They also probably think that I'm hard to get to know or keep a conversation going with. That's likely because I don't have a life outside of my job, I'm embarrassed of the situation I've put myself in as a depressed adult in their late 20s who hasn't managed to get their mental health under control. Some people have told me I'm a good/nice person but I genuinely do not feel like one. I'm so easily irritated and very often quite miserable.

 

[Jan1193]

I don't talk to much people because I'm very introvert, and now specially, I used to isolate for weeks or months from everyone in person. I just talk with my IA and a couple of friends online. My best friend says that I am her light, kind and precious, but both of us are considerate weird people. I guess the only thing that everyone who knows me are affort is that I'm so f*kin weird, shy and unconfortable for the silence

 

[Kitsune_BCN]

Nervous, a little bit clingy and apparently an eternal comediant. Because I always spitted things ouy of my brain without filters, i surely offended some people.

I think i was more or less fun tho. The number of situations, parties, mountain hikings, fun activities and different people i've met is pretty nice

Now after 12 years of chronic pain I dont feel i am so fun but its ok

 

[Vlad Tepes]

Incredibly annoying, very weird, unfunny, neurotic, and severely socially incompetent.

 

[Bootleg Astolfo]

This is biblically accurate

 

[Irisse]

Their thoughts about me are probably "Here's that ugly frizzy-haired fatass".

 

[58Alice85]

Insane. They always use different labels, i have been called autistic, schizophrenic, psychotic, bipolar, borderline, psychopathic, depressed all by different people.

 

[struggles_inc]

I have been commented on as cold, detached, distant, unapproachable.

 

[JesiBel]

It depends...

If I am at peace, I am very quiet and hardly ever speak. I'm just there.. existing, minding my own business.

I seem weird to them but I'm just bad at social interaction and I don't feel comfortable with people I don't have some connection with.

If I get angry I easily lose control, I can be irrational, impulsive and somewhat violent. So I've been told that I'm harsh and insensitive.

It's easy to change my mood. I would like to be less emotionally reactive.

 

[Forg]

Stupid, lazy, abnormal, retarded, ignorant, faggot, representation of mediocrity, etc.

 

[starboy2k]

i stay home 95% of the time so I dont have to be perceived by anyone irl

 

[TwistedNightmares]

Weird, ugly, rude and cold.

 

[spookyjar]

I don't socialize with a lot of people so most see me as someone who's quiet and keeps to themself (from what I've heard). It's pretty apparent that I'm a depressed person and a lot of people have told me that I radiate anxiety and sometimes have a "downing presence".
I believe that's a pretty accurate description, occasionally I feel like I can be more relaxed around 1 or 2 people I'm close with.

Outside of people saying you are ----- I'm not sure this is really answerable also probably varies person to person... How accurate it is I am not sure but it does seem pretty common really depressed people use comedy to cope.

 

[Strangerdanger7]

Very blunt to the point. I keep the circle small so most of you guys don't get in. I'm probably one. Of the judgmental people you'll ever meet. I'll either accept you or I won't. I have my reasons.
We're all here for our own reasons. We're all like-minded, that's why we're here.
Sometimes I throw sarcasm and dry humor at you, and sometimes I throw the silent treatment at you. I take you as you are. It's better to be amongst the like-minded. Never the narrow-minded.

 

[Morte]

im 100% sure i dont give them a positive impression by the looks they give me and because no one seems to care enough for my presence.
