How do you think people perceive you?

[Ambivalent1]

I think people feel that I'm eerie most of the time. I don't emote much, I observe my surroundings a lot, and I talk soft and slow. Trauma response, I guess.

 

[FuneralCry]

They simply don't. And in general I just think that people are focused on their own existences rather than obsessing over other people, people don't really care. Also, I thought the offtopic section on here was for asking random questions like this..

 

[hikikomorizombie]

it depends on if i feel like interacting w others or not :p ppl like me overall, they're easy. when im not putting on my extrovert persona though, or am trying not to be noticed, i'm def off putting & prob give off slight mass shooter vibes tbh. i'll actively try to stay away from ppl & opt for silence. just stand/sit w my back to them, preferring to stare off into space instead of engage. then if some1 cant take the hint & tries to talk to me/pull me into their convo, i give a curt reply & turn back around to resume my silent standing. + i have rbf, so i'm sure that adds to the off puttingness.

People i know have personally told me that they think i'm a Buddhist monk, "you're so quiet and relaxed all the time" or "You're very laid back"

I don't talk much but i'd like to think that people can discuss any topic with me, i'm just discontent with everything is all so i keep quiet.

I guess most people think that I'm nice and quiet. Someone once said that I was "quiet and unassuming". Another said that I was "smart, elegant and calm/relaxed". I guess they didn't know about the anxiety inside. Someone else said that I was "talented". Another person called me "unapproachable" and "intimidating", I don't know why they did, personally I don't think that I am…

Some people are intimidated by quiet people, probably because they never hang around people that can shut up for 5 minutes lol

 

[hermestrimegistus]

I think most people think I'm either socially retarded or mean and honestly I'm neither. I'm incredibly vulnerable and scared. I just want someone to interact with me truthfully. And I think my intensity comes off as something harsher than I intend. And that makes me want to die. I'm just traumatized and frightened. I don't want to hurt anyone. I can't imagine anyone perceives me in a positive light. And I get why they wouldn't without any understanding. It just breaks my heart and makes me sad.

 

[Life_and_Death]

i wish i knew

probably weird and or broken

I was told once that I seem so calm. I'm not calm. I'm fucking suffering. My face just doesnt show it.

If that's your pic, then you seem nice and reserved.

 

[Silent Raindrops]

I often get asked why I look sad, and I want to often say, "If you were in my shoes, you'd understand.", but as usual, I have to put on the fake smile.

People who know me knows I am not a people person, and that I'd rather be alone.

How they perceive me, I've no clue, but then, I really don't give a shit

 

[TiredOfAllThis]

Likely as a wacko

 

[Shrike]

It's going to be all over the place I assume. I have a lot of masks and can be quite good at them, but I also frequently run out of energy and melt down. Likely paints a very incoherent picture.

Does your mask ever slip? There's a book called The Sociopath Next Door and it talks about mask slipping lol

That's what I mean about running out of energy. Masking takes energy. Sometimes I run out. It's an autistic thing, not related to sociopaths.

 

[wisp]

I am perceived as a disabled retard to be pitied, to be treated as a child even though I am 26 years old. I am perceived as stupid, inept, slacker, even though I know the effort I put into building a future and new friendships.
I went to training classes even with a broken leg after an accident, on crutches taking public transportation to get to my destination and studying miles away from home.
I went to work with a newly fractured leg, a warehouse worker, yet I keep being told that I don't want to do anything to improve my condition.

People do not see the objective reality of the facts; rather, they are limited by their prejudicial filters. I am tired, I no longer give any weight to any word from any person, not even my family members (especially them).

The bullies in school used to say well, I am a failure and should have committed suicide already in middle school. They are the only ones who have squirted the truth in my face, unlike relatives and "friends" who pity me as if I were disabled.

 

[SVEN]

I don't get much interest. I guess if folk notice me at all I seem harmless and coping. Just an old guy with his own health issues, a semi invalid wife they don't see much and an elderly wee dog for a pal.

Did you get much interest when you were young?

 

[DeletedAccount0864]

In the outside world (e.g. work), as a pretty happy, cheery man. When I go, it'll be one of those "oh, I could never have imagined" sort of situations.

 

[girlsboysthems]

people perceive me as cold and distant which i am because i cannot hadle things anymore. anymore stress im going to shut down and kill myself. my therapist on the other hand says im a nice, warm, empathetic and very knowledgable person. i dont feel like it but its true that i dont control the reigns all the time. hate these discrepancies between my and others perception of me because i have no idea what i really am...

 

[Tokugawa_Yoshinobu]

As an akward weirdo. If I speak my mind, I get labeled all sorts of things

 

[divinemistress87]

Neurotic asf

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Far too favorably. Even if they hate me, my hatred myself vastly outweighs theirs.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I'll honestly never know. I don't really interact with anybody nor does anybody interact with me so I simply just can't know. I've been lonely all my life without even making a single irl acquaintance. That said, if somebody were to interact with me aside from family, they would probably (and rightfully) see me as an awkward and miserable loser. Though, either way, I don't care as to what anybody thinks about me. I don't even want to interact with the world and with people in the first place

 

[cold_severance]

from what i heard or was implied, they default to me being shy pretty much.

 

[Final_Choice]

I'm basically invisible. I blend in pretty easily as a background character so I do that, most people just perceive me as a sort of NPC that just disappears when I'm too far away from them. A bit sad but also pretty useful sometimes.

 

[Quiet_Cricket]

Stupid.

 

[MyLifeisHell]

As a weirdo loser.

 

[Pluto]

Me trying to fit in:

 

[silent.desperation]

Calm, collected and got it all under control. Oh the irony...

 

[F@#$]

A volatile, miserable prick that you need to stay as far the fuck away from as you can.
