In What Ways are You Different From How People Perceive You?

[Revoltingest]

I don't know. I am an Aspie, so how other humans in part see me, is off limits to me in some sense.

So how I do I see myself - I am a philosophy nerd and a strong skeptic, so I am weird. As for personality I am introvert, big surprise. I can be a pain in the *** because I demand of others that they can understand the world beyond their own subjective understanding. Otherwise my wife say I am somewhat nice and caring, but I can be stern and sometimes to much.

You're among the few here who are amenable to civil discussion.
You're dynamic, ie, able to pivot in a conversation based upon
how it proceeds. This differs from the one note types who abound.
A good thing this is.

I find that aspies or those tending in that direction are easier
for me to deal with. There seems to be less social stuff that
is taken for granted.

I can do better than that. I can walk on the shower floor.

I do not understand you at all.
And that is a breath of fresh air.

Wait. Say that again, I need to frame it in an eight dollar frame.

 

[Revoltingest]

I'm not as tall as I seem online...

Seriously, people in real life have a very hard time believing I am 70 both physically and mentally.

From your posts I thought you were over
100, & losing the battle against dementia.
(I have a head start on you.)

I know what those look like.
Good frames start at around $25 for a small one.

Always spendy with the tax dollars of the animal kingdom.

 

[Revoltingest]

Probably not much, although I struggle with complexity more than one might suspect.

No, your struggle is apparent.
It makes you unpredictable.
A good thing that is.

With Trump Dollar$ heading our way, you can up your budget.
(I re-read that as "up your budgie". Not good.)

But what about when those animals receive a check, essentially paying themselves with their own money? They can buy me that frame.

Physically offline isn't different, people get what they see.
Online I don't really know how people think i look (although there are a couple of (purposely) not very good pics around. I think some people think of me as the sexy cougar cat lady, an image i can live with ;-) so will do nothing to put them right.

Mentally, in life i am gregarious and friendly, although this was not always so. I think a lot depends on the people around you.
Online, some see me as the evil atheist god hater. Nothing could be further from the truth. I hate god as much as i hate harry potter and for the same reason.

Whether people both on and off line see me as joker who often uses sarcasm or not, who cares.

They can & should.
Now we're talking custom frame with conservation materials & museum glass.

a few thoughts on the topic:
-those people into compiling stats indicate that it takes about 3-4 yrs to get to really "know" someone who you spend the bulk of your time with.....
-religious traditions have shown us over thousands of years that no individual ever really knows their own authentic "self";
-the word for person comes from persona meaning mask, a portrayal, a depiction, a caricature;
-all the world is a stage and we the players, the actors, the portrayers (or something to that effect);
-knee-jerk reactions vs. thoughtful observation resulting in carefully considered assessment;
who can know the heart?

I see you as kind of a Tulsi Gabbard type.

One cannot know the person so quickly,
but one can know something about the person.
And that something can be significant.

I think of you as desperately needing some skin & eyes.
But you do have a wicked smile.

Hate Harry Potter?
I must re-evaluate our relationship.

Wow! What did poor old Harry do to you?

You.

That was sarcasm. Mentioned it later in the post. How does one hate a fiction?
