I'm gonna do my best to describe myself, but i'm not always the best:
- I've probably got the writing ability of an 8th grader. Never have been good at being able to express my thoughts through words. I see a lot of people on here writing out sentences that are college level, and I try hard to do that, but it's hard for me for some reason. - I didn't learn to read until I started school. A lot of people have their parents teach them at a young age, but I had to learn while being in school at the same time. I was put in special reading classes through my entire school career because of it, including my last year of high school. - I have an addiction to checking my phone every couple minutes if i'm expecting a call from somebody. Needless to say, I have a lot of night where i'm disappointed that I didn't hear from someone. I've also got a phobia of calling people and answering a phone call, so two and two make for some very awkward missed calls and call backs. I'll literally make an excuse as to why I missed a call, when in actuality, I was sitting right there waiting for the voicemail to come in. - I act stupid in public to shield the fact that I actually don't like to talk to people. I've never been in a comfort zone where I feel like my opinion matters. My girlfriend is the only person I talk to and even then, I can't talk in a serious manner, because like my dad, I've never had an easy time being honest with people, so I try to hide that by joking with them or making them feel like they're being silly, even when they're not... - I'm very observant. I look at every body that walks near me or around me. My girlfriend thinks it's creepy, but I honestly have no control over it. I have to look at something that is moving in my line of sight, you never know when it's something you need to run away from. - When I see somebody I know in public, I do my best to make it seem like i'm busy, just so I don't have to engage in conversation. - I feel like I get personally attacked on the internet all the time, when I really just make it an issue by myself by thinking that they're directing something at me, when they actually aren't. I've tried to work on it, but I have a constant need to defend myself, for some reason. I feel like a lot of that stuff was negative, but it feel like i'm always quiet about the stuff deep in my system. |

Don't beat yourself up. I've seen writing that's a hell of a lot worse than yours; I think you do all right. After all, you can't really maintain a journal without some sort of writing skills (unless you're the Bunny From Hell of course)...
Your phone phobias make me grin. Not saying it's not anything serious but the idea is quite funny, no offence meant. I always got the impression you'd be a cool guy to talk to in real life...

I'll clarify that I do warm up to people the longer I know them, naturally. But i'm not the greatest at "the first approach" if that makes any sense. I rarely open up to people because a lot of negative judgement comes from it. No offense taken either, I know it's rather silly, and i've been working on it by forcing myself to call people. The weird thing is, i'm perfectly fine talking to people over Skype and email, but talking on the phone just bugs me. Part of it comes from the fact that I don't like the possibility that they can hang up at any time and never call me back again. I know it's rather silly, but i've done it for most of my life.

I'm bored
- I'm actually really nice and super protective of people I care about, but I won't back down on my opinions ever. I only am truly mean to people I find to be morally abhorrent, although I make petty snipes at people who I judge harshly for stupid **** all the time ( I do this on here a lot, most recently with Conor/PoorOldPo) . I will always give the people I snipe at for petty **** a second chance though, because that is just me being a snobby dick. - I think it's hilarious when people say I don't have a sense of humour, I generally laugh at everything. I just don't find sexist/racist/homophobic/transphobic/ fatshaming commentary to be humourous, so I don't laugh at it. I laugh at my own jokes the most, and I really could care less if other people do because I think I'm the funniest person I know. 90% of the **** I do is for my own amusement and I love to laugh at myself because I think I'm the most hilarious cliche ever, even though I know I'm more than that. I think it's just the funniest **** ever and I play it up like nobodies business. - I have no neutrality whatsoever, on anything. I either love it or absolutely hate it, am bored by it or have to know every little minute detail, want nothing to do with it or want all of it. - I get bored with describing the shallow surface things about me because quirks are boring but here are a few of mine: I haven't worn pants in 8 yrs, I never answer my phone (unless its for my ignore line), I refuse to touch paper money, I became a vegetarian mostly because of my freakish food quirks, I don't Americanise spellings for aesthetics spellings (for those of you who don't know, I'm American), and I get irrationally angry when people touch me between my shoulder blades |

I can be pretty sarcastic, and very dry when I do it. Sometimes it doesn't come off that well when people haven't go to know me yet. In fact, I think I may have forgotten how to genuinely compliment someone...
Lying doesn't come naturally to me at all. I'll usually be 100% honest without suiting the situation, but if I do then I'll almost do it like I'm in court...nothing I say is TECHNICALLY false. Small talk bores me and I'm not good at it, and I avoid it whenever I can. Sometimes I'll start thinking about a funny tangent and laugh out loud about it....and I only recently noticed that I have a relatively loud full laugh. I can sometimes get loud and animated when having a back and forth about something, and can be a bit of a smart arse, puts some people off. I'm a pessimist/realist. I fear rejection, and I fear regret. Which can be a tough combo at times and I guess I hide them. I'm pretty direct. My phone conversations are short and sweet. I don't call people for a chat, and I try to wrap them up as fast as possible. I can't browse while shopping, I go in for something particular and either get it or not. I nearly always put things off until as late as possible, but I'm nearly always on time for things. I over analyse things. I'm quite happy being alone reading/watching tv/playing games most of the time, I'm not a sociable person a lot of the time, so i'm quite happy not having a wide circle of people but around 5 really good friends. But if I'm socialising I do it properly. If I'm doing something (exercising, eating out, sightseeing) then it's only fun doing it with people. I'm uncomfortable/avoid being the center of attention, and I don't like attention seekers. It's very difficult to offend me. I like most lewd jokes and don't tend to hold things like nationality/sports etc as things to get offended over. Sometimes I assume the same goes for everyone...which can cause friction. I don't like posing for photos, I hate it. it stops everything and you fake smile and ugh. I don't mind it if it's a quick shot but stopping and arranging in order...Plus I can't fake smile, I look scary. I'm either loud and social, or quiet and thoughtful depending on company. I'm 6'4" and I've been told I can be a little intimidating for people who don't know me. I'd never even considered it before. I'm a bit of a pussycat. And that's a bit more than I was expecting to write. |

Also, everyone is personally attacked on the internet... not just you. When a comment is made about anything that doesn't agree with the original posters philosophy human nature is to lash back... Just accept it lol. |
