How would you describe yourself?

How would you describe yourself?
Use either a few words
Or as long as you want
Just describe 'you'
Not your looks and appearance, but inside yourself

I guess I would describe myself as disconcerted.
I know what I believe, but because of past experiences, I always question it.
I'm strong... until you get me in a rough spot... and then I'm the weakest person on the planet.
I'm defensive... with an unfulfilled need of openness, because I can't seem to be vulnerable till the point of a breakdown.
I may be damaged, but at least I can feel something, anything, now.
If you can fight your way through my shield, I'm unconditionally loving...
My way to peace is music, and it saved me.. multiple times.

So... Disconcerted. Or maybe I always feel different.
I'll describe myself as the odd one out.

Inside myself?

Heart, lungs, guts, stomach, liver, kidneys, bladder, reproductive organs. You know, all that human stuff.

Haha
I wasn't expecting this
But I hope you didn't seriously mean it

Sorry, I'm in a joking mood.

For serious? I would describe myself as someone who changes to be what others want/need them to be. Its true, I change who I am around different people depending on what I think they want from me(within reason).

Hmm I think I would sound like I was bragging but here is how I think of myself...

Ambitious
Altruistic
Controversial
Curious
Distrusting
Honest
Harsh
Imperfect
Logical



I really don't know what else....
I might add more later

I'm overly emotional. I feel things strongly.
I'm loyal, i'm unconditional.
I'm controversail at times, some people think I have outrageous opinions and say a few outrageous things.
I'm a good friend.
I'm a hopeless romantic.

And ofcourse; 'The worse kind of guy to argue with'
Haha


I can't describe myself right now
Or rather I would not like too
I don't want to describe myself becuase i don't want to see myself

I'm....
Scared?

Not scared to see myself exactly
But scared of what I might see in myself
Dark parts
I Don't want to see those parts of me
Not now
Not when I know I can't control them

I think everybody has a dark side to themselves that they like to keep hidden.

Well.. Do whatever you must, but you know you can't move forward until you find out where and what you are exactly.

Speaking from experience, as soon as you understand yourself, Your view on the world changes, and possibilities that were way beyond your thoughts before, become possible, even probable.

So explore yourself a little bit, you'll be glad you did, in the end.

Hm... how I describe myself?
Well, if I was to describe who I am currently I would probably have to say that I am...

Self-aware: I'm concious of who I am, what I'm doing, how it affects other people, and how other people affect me.

Slothful: Self explanatory.
Laid back/aloof: I'm really chill. I'm easy to be around, because I don't ask or have the need for anything.

Self-absorbed: I don't care about much. Things don't get to me. I don't pay attention to what's going on around me because I'm too wrapped up in my own world.
Selfish: I'm not mindful to other's feelings, and when I want something it's for my own desires, not for others. I don't really care that much about other humans exempt a few special people.

Vain/confident: Not really in a bad way, but I'm very confident in my physical appearance(most of the time) to the point of being confused why others don't find me as attractive as I find myself.

Lustful/physical: Yep. It's true. I have an affinity for the aesthetic. I lust easily, and I'm tempted easily when it comes to my boy. It's actually something I'm working on.

True, true. You should know yourslef and like yourself as well.

Oooh, a topic that endorses egocentricity.

I am well acquainted with "negativity" as some self-righteous teenager pointed out. But what of it? Is there something wrong with being ghastly and grim? Why, I mimic your blackened hearts perfectly. I simply refuse to shroud it with curtains.

This blasphemous arrogance I possess is no prize, it is a means provoke others who claim that they share this height, an intentional disregard of doubt which may boost confidence, and an embrace of my faults to nullify the requirement of an excuse.

Introspection and self-criticism are awesome maintenance methods, using double standards and comparison to weigh if my ideas and thoughts are biased or not, separating personal bias from exact judgment to ensure a fortified opinion while keeping my personal vendetta towards something I deem abominable, acknowledging my fallibility pitting my thoughts against another, etc. Fun stuff.

But there has been quite an issue... Since I am devoid of selfless thoughts, I strive to at least possess virtue but the problem is well... Whenever I do something of the sort, I often see that I may possibly did those acts with very shrewd and manipulative motivations. I can admit being selfish, but I have pledged to loathe the skill of the puppeteer by aligning myself with virtue. Would the act of manipulation betray all I wish to obtain?

Breaking a Geis isn't fun.

That's something I've not quite understood about you.

Normally, selfish people are manipulative.

You could participate in virtuous acts while still openly admitting that you're doing them for yourself. Though that would seem tiring to constantly go about announcing it all the time, almost as if you were narrating your own life or thoughts to everyone around you.

I'd think it would be a little humorous honestly.

Is it not a disadvantage to you though?
Maybe in desiring to have virtues you're not as selfish as you thought.
Otherwise you'd just be working against yourself.

I don't believe in Rousseau or in Lennon. Everyone is selfish.

It eases me. I don't want them to think I'm some sort of hero.

Not anymore.
I "want" it as it would benefit me and everything else that may aid others are just byproducts. That sounds pretty selfish.

I'd be inclined to think that everyone is manipulative also, whether consciously or not.
Any time that you interact with someone you're influencing their behavior by reinforcing it as they interpret it.

Why? Do you feel a sense of guilt? Like you don't deserve it? (I've felt the same way sometimes you know)
If you've done something virtuous doesn't it still deserve a reward even if it has selfish motives?
All heroes have selfish motives.

You could be doing more harmful selfish things instead.

- Lazy
- Unsure
- Opinionated
- Self - Centered :/
