What are you like in reallife?

[shy]

I've been wondering what vibe I give off in reallife, I'd like to think that I'm normal. That's at least what I'm going for. Social anxiety makes me non talkative/dismissive plus I have shaky hands, which I'm always nervous about people noticing. So, realistically people see me as a twitchy, antisocial weirdo. At least I don't think that my depression is obvious.

I'm curious about other people on here.

What are you like? Do you think that people notice anything off about you?

 

[Disappointered]

Depends on the situation but eventually, yes.

 

[NightmareTour]

I mean, I don't go outside anymore, but if I did, I'd be the weird guy who's in his early 20s but has to use a walking stick, has random head twitches, and can't exist near unfamiliar people without having a panic attack. So yeah, there's a reason I don't go outside.

Something specific that gives it away or just a combination of different things?

That sounds rough, no way of hiding physical characteristics. I'm sorry you can't go out because of it

 

[StringPuppet]

Everyone irl knows that I'm pathetic

 

[sadworld]

I think I act normal most of the times. I'm really bad in communicating with people so they think I'm an antisocial weirdo (which I am lol). But other than that I think no one really notices much.

I think over time most people notice that i'm rarely in a genuinely positive mood because i'm never backed up by a social power base. there has never been any social category i fit into and my efforts to integrate into something generic were frustrated by my 'care givers' from an early age. little moments of anxiety, sadness, bitterness slip through even if only slightly and that's when people start paying more attention and realizing that i'm a lone outcast who didn't get certain needs met and now can never be made whole.

 

[mahakaliSS_MahaDurga]

One person from this site who I talk to sometimes over the phone told me that I seem so capable and sure of myself on the forum and that I'm really not like that.

 

[greebo6]

Ugly looking ,shy ,quiet and sad in persona. Just about sums me up in how I must seem to strangers.
With people I know then I am not so shy and not so quiet but probably just as sad. Just as ugly of course.

 

[Deleted member 23586]

Uhmm... Hm... I guess I'll say what others see me as and what they've said about me becasue the way I see myself is not the same of what I've been told haha.

Cute, funny, sweet, caring, intelligent, silly, wacky, dark but innocent, protective, like a child, maternal, small spirited, understanding, giving, loving, fun, shy, and open minded.

90 percent of this I'm confused at though haha. I feel like it's a lie. I see myself as boring, lost, hurt, quiet, loner, anxiety ridden, scared of everyone but especially afraid of men. Co dependent, broken, burdensome, closed off, fucked up, twisted, shy, fearful of everything, and just overall not good enough. So... I don't really know what I'm like irl, cuz I don't know what's real and what's not. And I'm losing my sense of self more and more everyday.

I try too hard to seem okay. My customer service voice and trauma humor, along with a fake smile, are front and center when around others. I think I've mastered the illusion of functioning for the most part. But I recluse often in order to keep up the facade.

Same, I also use that mask all day long. But at nighttime the mask wears off.

 

[Caspers]

On the outside, I look like an extroverted person who gets on with everyone and has a lot of passion and high self esteem. It's just a mask, it's all a lie.

 

[Grav]

I've been told by quite a few people that I look "'scary" or ready to jump on someone (I usually don't smile and have a habit of always looking at someone when they are talking), but if I talk to them (not a big social guy) I can be pretty funny, again people describing me this way. It can mess with people at first because they're expecting some kind of blow-up but then have to do a double take. I found that when I'm socially afraid if I go the opposite way and get all "extrovert-firm handshake guy" I can get a bit past it. Kind of like speech class where if the speaker is nervous and bouncy with lots of umms and ahhs everyone notices and that just makes it worse; but if you project like you're king boo people will be attentive. I was expected to fail speech in high school and college but aced it both times, just being a big talker.

 

[Sensei]

Somewhat eccentric, intelligent, dynamic, and charming between episodes. Irritable, unpredictable, aggressive, and emotionally unstable during episodes.

 

[Deleted member 19654]

I'm a lot more shy, quiet and awkward in person.

 

[woxihuanni]

I've heard I have a lot of 'positive energy' and general admiration of my cognitive skills or work. Done me lotsa good I must say. I wish I were a clingy, tantrum-throwing moron whore like the Abomination, then maybe I wouldn't be killed.

 

[Sprite_Geist]

Shy, boring, socially-awkward and boring again.

 

[WitheringAway]

I've been told that I give off "arrogance" vibes as a first impression. I suppose because I'm usually quiet and reserved. I've also been told that I seemed "smart and cautious"

 

[antigone_iris]

Most people who know me would say that I'm quiet and hard-working. Haters would call me weird, but actually, little do they know that I'm creative and I value self-expression, not mindless obeying to the ideal of the masses. It's a matter of whom you ask.

Same

Been told the same not too long ago, guess that's just what people think when you don't talk much. They don't know I'm too afraid to talk ^^

 

[Bootleg Astolfo]

Basically Astolfo is he was trying to sneak in a victorian military base and going through an emo phase after his not-boyfriend turned into a dragon.

 

[stygal]

I'd describe myself similar to what everyone else already said.
Plus I have a problem with making direct eye contact which seems weird to some people. My resting bitch face doesn't help me getting any sympathy either.
But I function well in my work environment and am known (only to a small group of colleagues) to be the "funny and sarcastic" person there.
When it comes to looks I am very much average (but feeling ugly). Overall I'm like a NPC character in a video game - most likely to be ignored (which I like).

 

[Deleted member 94]

NPC in the game of life that's how I am in reality.

 

[Myforevercharlie]

On good days: busy, friendly, helpful, covered in paint or crayon

On bad days: emotional, bitchy, sleepy, angry. Not a nice person

 

[Good4Nothing]

Socially awkward depressed weirdo.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I like to think I'm pretty good at faking positivity in person but I do that by being a lot less open about anything related to myself. Otherwise, the only other things I could say about myself are all negative anyway. I'm almost as ugly on the outside as I am on the inside.

 

[Ghost2211]

I'm friendly and social, but also keep to myself. I come off as not depressed or lonely at all. That's probably why socializing is so exhausting.

 

[muffin222]

Very close to how I imagine I appear on here: Opinionated, compassionate, long-winded, reclusive, formal-sounding, and depressed

 

[_Kaira_]

Pretty secluded. I'm usually intimidated by people I've never met before and usually come off super shy and awkward. They usually know immediately that I'm the complete opposite of a social butterfly lol. Otherwise, only the people I get very close to eventually learn of my BPD nature. Which is very few to begin with.
