What is it about you that makes others think
you may be "different" from them?

I have my political beliefs. I have my general way of relating to others that gives me an advantage.

Are you different in a good way?

2. I smile a lot
and am generally optimistic. Most people like it, some don't. The ones who don't can go fuck themselves. There. I said it, feel better about it.

3. My logic astounds people...
Although on here, I act the fool a lot and get on people's nerves. In real life, I'm much calmer, logical, and funny.

21. Oh yes!
Same here. I find it hard to blend in chit-chat world without having to some meditative "flush the stupidity and inane conversation out of my head" moments afterward. :D

10. I'm distant and aloof.
Edited on Tue Jul-06-04 10:18 PM by BiggJawn
Infact, you'd probably consider me "cold" if you saw me daily.
Comes from an ex-wife who used to admonish me to "Keep your mouth shut. Nobody gives a fuck about that shit you yammer on about..."

9 years of that changes a fellow....

Oh, and I don't give a shit about NASCAR, either.

19. I don't know what people think.
I think people see the outside of me and based on how I look or that I'm blessed to look a little younger (or so I'm told) that I'm just what they see which based on cultural stereotyping is generally not too bright or perhaps shallow. However, when people talk with me or get to know me, they learn quickly that that is not me.
As a young mother, it has often been assumed that I was somehow not capable of anything else. Again, not me.
I tend to be reserved with people at times and it's assumed I'm snobbish or aloof, but I just am very slow to warm up to people and find it hard to get close (with rare exceptions).
When I say, I don't know though, I really don't know how others view me. This is what I've come up with from different snippits of things I've been told over the years. I guess, though, I'm not a type, demographic, or anything else except who I am as an individual which isn't always so easily definable-even to myself. I know that in life, I feel as though I'm continually of a journey in some way and hopefully I bring something positive to the other lives that I touch and those that are intertwined with my own. :)

If you met me on the street, I'll wager in 100 guesses you'd never guess what I do.

25. Geez, where do I start?
Am I different in a good way? I really don't know, I guess that would be a matter of perspective. I'm a non-theist, a lesbian, and that's just the beginning. :silly:
